01/11/2005 :: New Pedal Update (sort of…)
We recently received final samples of our upcoming ‘SlimJim’ pedal, it’s a little beauty! It’s gonna be available in black or white with sealed bearings as standard. A magnesium bodied version is also going to be available for those who like a lighter set-up. As mentioned in previous news, the pedals are real thin profile giving amazing ‘feel’ while riding. They’re still a coupla months away from being in the shops but they’re gonna be good!
Update over, get back to work!!
27/10/2005 :: New saddle is here!!
Just dropped into the country is the new Gusset ‘Lil’ saddle, so called cos of its dinky size and low weight. It’s a little beauty. Without a saddle you’re generally in a bit of trouble and this is a sweet choice to prevent any untoward ‘interruptions’ in that area. Check out your local store to get your hands on one… I thank you. Stoo.
11/08/2005 :: Waffen Cranks finally here!!!!
After what seems like a century in development, the new ‘Waffen’ Cranks are here at last. They feature a 22mm axle (Oversize for super buff-ness), Gusset specific arm moulding, BMX compatible and super tough steel flush bolts, leaving no ‘crush zone’ for all you nasty street riders out there that can’t stop smacking your cranks on stuff!!
I personally have caused an immense amount of delay on these by being picky with the bolts, but its worth it to have the goods, right?!
Anyways, right now we have stock of 175’s in BMX BB, not too long for the 170’s and Euro BB’s…
ALSO… Check out mags n stuff in the next few months for the new saddle we’ll have out soon, it’s little and tidy and we love it…
09/06/2005 :: Upcoming Parts N Stuff…
Those of you out there that keep up with the news column on this fair site will know that the saga of the new crankset is ever ongoing. Well, no change as of yet, all specs are finalised, logos, finish etc. All we’re waiting on now is a factory that won’t throw away vital tools to make the darn things!
Other new stuff; An ultra low profile lightweight dirt/park pedal. Features sealed bearings, concave body, spare pins etc. All the usual good stuff that pedals should have. (We’re not idiots) The provisional name is the SlimJim. I tested it for a coupla months and it rules! Just to double test it, I pedal grinded it to death on one side til there were no pins left…it didn’t die! Rah! (Obviously I’m not suggesting that people use lightweight pedals for grinds as standard, but hey, it was fun!!)
Just recieved a coupla samples of new saddles we’ve been toying with, they too look pretty fresh, should be out, erm, I don’t know to be honest. Keep em peeled for more news on that…
Anyone seen Dan, by the way, lost him at the bike show…
19/04/2005 :: I am a lazy a**e, here’s some news!
As you may have guessed by the title, this news update is a little overdue! BMX team news first up: The team is complemented now by the all-round BMX GOD, Rob Ridge. I very nearly wet myself with glee when we hooked up with Rob, he’s been a hero of mine (riding-wise, I’m not a fag) since I began riding. He’s on Standard for frames and running Gusset parts (As soon as I get my ass in gear and send some to him…)
ALSO!!! Something I’ve been meaning to clear up for a while now… We have a message to send out to ‘Sideshow’ Dave Cole. He’s the guy who drew the illustrations for our most recent sticker sheet, as previewed at the Bike Show in Coventry. The pictures are, in a word, PHENOMENAL. A massive thanks to Dave, who is a genuine superstar for slogging away at some pics for me. The brief he was given was ” Just make em a bit messed up, yeah?!” The boy done good. Messed up they are!
