If you sit up late enough at night, you’re sure to see the wicked ads on TV with obese freaks losing 50kgs after only 3 minutes workout. Luckily here in Oz we simply need to add RNC titanium bolts to our stems and bam, we lose weight.
New from Carlo Griggs’ UK company, the Proper Magnatitanium hubs come with magnesium shells and titanium axles and driver. This makes for a super light hub with the cassette coming in at only 331 grams! The cassette also comes with a single needle bearing in the driver to replace the usual 3 sealed bearings. They are available in either 36 or 48 with cogs from 10t to 14t.
The newest style from Orchid, the Hex, features their most tech upper yet, while still retaining their ever present soul vibe. Mate this to the flat, solid sole and you have a shoe that’s dedicated to the BMX experience. Orchid’s 06 range is well worth a look, If your local doesn’t have em, move. Or is that a beer ad?
macneil hubs www.triplesix.com.au Macneil equals originality. This time they tackle hubs adding wide flanges, which increases the strength of the wheel and they are slotted so the spokes recess into the hub and don’t get smashed, plus the thicker flanges won’t bend. The cassette has one-piece drivers for 9T, 10T and 11T, a 4-pawl engagement system and comes in either RHD or LHD with a 14mm hollow axle. The front is available with either a 3/8 or hollow 14mm axle. These hubs only come in 36 hole.
