Last Saturday was a whole lot of fun.  We started with a HUGE sale at the shop and then moved next door for the movie.  As always the Disorder movie was up to standards.  We had a great give away with help from Eastern bikes, Gravity Components, Xpedo Pedals, Vanderkitten clothing, Pro Tec, Smith Optics and Norco.  I must say that the Eastern frame is pretty tight.  I rode that same frame for a couple of days and only wanted a little larger one for myself.

I was stoked that Hacksaw came up from Oregon, along with Alex from RST suspension.  Here is Hacksaw Phil and me on the mic.We had a pretty good time and we should do some riding also next time.  Here are some stoked individuals who won super dope swag that was on hand. 

Eastern Grips, Gravity Guide, Vanderkitten, Xpedo Pedals, Gravity Post, Smith Goggles, Xpedo again

If you missed this shindig then we will see you next time hopefully. 

The SMT guys live in Vancouver Washington and are some layed back guys. We finally met face to face at Interbike and they were happy to show us all their cool new stuff. These guys definately have a different angle on the engineering which is a nice change. Check out the Bashguard they make.
Unlike most bashguards which attach to your crank, the CODE 240 attaches to the bottom bracket, where the mounting plate prevents the chain from falling or locking up in the chainstay. The CODE 240 is made entirely of UHMW and can withstand high impacts and abuse from mountain and freestyle biking. UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) Plastic has a coefficient of friction that rivals Teflon but will outperform PTFE in abrasion resistance by a ratio of 30 to 1. Your chainrings and bottom bracket are protected against impacts on logs, concrete, rocks, metal, or whatever you choose to assault. No more missing teeth!!! 

I cant say the same for JB though. Rock rings may protect your chainrings, but a high impact WITHOUT the CODE 240 will warp the crank spider or bend the bottom bracket. Available for 22-32-44, 28-38-46, 28-38-46 chainring setups. Custom bashguards and chain-tensioners also available. A review on this product is soon to follow this article.
