Knog Boomer Lights

These have some serious power! They’re insanely bright and fantastic for making sure you’re seen at night on the streets. The silicone casing makes it so easy to attach to your bike, feels funky too! The Rechargeable Boomers really are the bee knees, they have an internal light that comes on to let you know when the light is running out of comes on to let you know when the light is running out of juice and you can recharge them by plugging them into your USB port on your laptop! Which is amazing because you won’t need to buy batteries anymore! They have 4 different settings and you can hold the button down to turn it off. Both front and rear lights last up to 12hrs when full charged and are on the flashing setting which is so sick! They have a slick, waterproof design and last for ages! They have a slick, waterproof design and last for ages! Super bright, super flexible and super rechargeable!

Continental Comfort Contact

Need a slick tyre? Then look no further! Continental sent us their biggest slick tyres they had; they come in 29” and 26”. They’re super chunky with a measurement of 54c which is a banging 2.1 – If you’re thinking of getting bigger tyres, go for these, they’ll make you feel so much more confident when landing some big stuff! They also more confident when landing some big stuff! They also have a puncture protector system with kevlar and polyamide filaments, which makes a super strong belt under the tread. We’ve been riding with these tyres on the rears for over 2 months and they have hardly any skid patches! They also have a reflective strip going all the way around the wall of the tyre… The bad thing is, if someone takes a picture or video with flash it makes if someone takes a picture or video with flash it makes the tyre look like insanely white! The good thing is, you are seen by traffic when riding from spot to spot. Great tyres, shock absorbent and slick with a nice tread!

Zontrac Straps

These are the sickest of the sickest right here! Zontrac straps are the sturdiest & strongest straps we’ve ever had! They have some serious heavy duty velcro with a simple and effective design! No metal buckles, no excess material hanging around. These straps are one of the easiest straps to fit and adjust, even when you’re pedalling! easiest straps to fit and adjust, even when you’re pedalling! They currently have 3 awesome graphic designs, my favourite is the psychedelic design. They feel really comfortable and you feel more confident with your feet in them. They’re super thick too so you just know they’re not going to fail you! Make sure your pedals have big enough holes in the sides so you thread the straps through! So if you need some new straps, get Zontracthrough! So if you need some new straps, get Zontracand you won’t go back.Available at www.catacombbikes.co.uk

ESB Forks

Originally hand built by the man himself Super Ted, (Ted James) in Brick Lane, London. These forks are made from 853 Reynolds heat-treated tubing with a strong T45 steel steerer, with a sick internal threaded CNC’d one piece, with a light aluminum top nut so youcan use an allen key to tighten/loosen it! The ESB can use an allen key to tighten/loosen it! The ESB forks are remarkable, we recorded a survey around London and the ESB forks were voted one the strongest forks ever! I’ve had these forks on all my trickframes in the past 5 months, doing plenty of stair sets and drops and they haven’t bent or shown any signs of damage at all! They also have drilled out bits near the dropouts, and they are tapered so you can run pegs! the dropouts, and they are tapered so you can run pegs! The ESB forks are fantastic but would be even better with the ESB frame. Easily one of the strongest forks out! Available at www.14bikeco.com

This picture (on the right) was sent in by HectorWard from London, being part of the Ninja CatsWard from London, being part of the Ninja Catsyou gotta keep up with the crazy tricks. Here’s Hector’s story:

“It was really wierd, I did a hop-up on to a slim wall then into a 180 off the end which then went onto a road. I put my foot down and roll'ed my ankle real nice”

This picture on the left was sent in by Daniel Feefrom Newcastle (Newcastle Fixed Gear).This crazy magpie broke his elbow!

“I was riding the bowl in my skate park and my back end slid out just landed straight on my elbow. Thought nothing of it just hurt a bit, drank whiskey and pain killer then woke up drank whiskey and pain killer then woke up the next day and I couldn’t move it!

So I rode to the hospital then they wouldn’t let me leave because it was so bad! Got out the next day, fully casted up and rode my bike home...”
