Powell Bikes Relaunch!

Who remembers Powell Bikes? Scott Powell is relaunching the brand, and got in touch to spread the news. Read all about it from the man himself below…

I am officially launching my latest project; producing 25 frames under the Powell Bikes name! This is going to be a 1 and done production! 5 frames are spoken for; leaving the remaining 20 frames for purchase.
The double top tube frames will be an updated version of the MTF frames that I have been riding since 2010, and will be built custom with or without brake mounts. The design has already been finalized, and a sample frame should be created this month — I will post photos of the sample frame once I have it in hand.
For now I have photoshopped my current frame to resemble the finished frame. The cost will be $500 USD plus shipping; custom colors will be available for an additional $50 USD. Preorders will begin immediately for $100 USD and will be closed off once 20 frame orders are received.

Specs:
Top Tube = 19”
Head tube angle = 75
Sear tube angle = 71
Stand over height = 8”
Chain Stay length = 13.25” – 14.25”
Distance of top tubes at seat post from outer edge to outer edge = 3.5”
Bottom Bracket = Mid
With or Without Brake Mounts
Duel Cable Brake System
Weight = 5lbs (approximate)
Actual weight once sample frame arrives
Colors = Electric Lime Green or Deep Sapphire Blue

FLAT SYSTEM 009: Tech tips on the Far East Freecoaster.

Here’s the word from Dub on Flat System 009, do you use a Far East free coaster? This episode is for you!

“It’s been a minute since the last episode, but better late than never so here we go again! So this episode of FLAT SYSTEM is more of a tech tip than a podcast or wtv these things are called!. Since many riders are now using the FEC Freecoaster hub as their engine of choice, especially in Flatland, it is my duty to make small tech tip videos on taking care of that engine! This one is about how to change your pawls and springs on the hub when you start having too much slippage! Let me know what you think, if this helps, or not and if you have any questions or suggestions on the next episode! You can find IGI and FEC parts information at www.igibmx.com, or on instagram at @igiflatbmx.”

Hiroya Morizaki starts Crown!

HUGE news today from Japan, one of the best riders in the game. Hiroya Morizaki just started his own bike brand, over to Hiroya!

“I just started a new bike brand, Crown. First, let me introduce the new sample that just arrived.
The first frame is based on Delta, which I used to design for Quamen Bikes, a California-based BMX frame company back in 2005, and improved the design suitable for the modern flatland needs.

The fork is initially designed for the Garuda frame of Aresbikes but pursing as small a clearance as possible and shortens the length of the fork for the best possible usability at doing various types of tricks, front and back tricks, rolling, and spinning.
Every detail of geometries results from numerous tries and errors over two years. I’ll keep testing until the release, although the production schedule is still up in the air due to the COVID situation. Stay tuned!
