407fixedgear : in Richmond

407fixedgear : in Richmond from Antimo on Vimeo.

About Damn Time! It’s been two months, so what the hell happened? I’ve been pretty overwhelmed with school the past few months, so it was nearly impossible to sit down and work on this footage. I finally got some time to spank this thing out and I have to say I’m pretty stoked on what has come out the other end of the pipeline.

The whole point of filming the trick jam was to test out a new camera and see how it handled for this type of filming. Surprisingly without having any sort of plan the footage looks great. I’ve learned a metric ton from just this shoot and had an amazing time. I want to thank everyone who helped put that weekend together, it was a blast.

I’m finally starting to get a feel for what looks best in combination with my tastes and how aggressive the style of riding is getting. There has been a ton more footage logged recently between my trip to Philly and here in Orlando. So keep an eye out for some more edits in the near future. Oh, and please drop some criticisms in the comments section, positive or negative. We like to know what ya’ll think to help us grow.

Lastly big shout out to Furoche for helping me kick this thing out.

Shimano XT 756

Like a lot of fixed riders, I have been going through rear hubs like girlfriends. I make it about three months before I do something horrible to them and they break down on me. In the past four months I’ve gone through two hubs, one was a Phil Wood, and I just don’t have the money to keep investing in new hubs, especially the pricey kind. My main problem is I keep stripping out my lock ring threads. I’ve thought about suicide mounting a cog to the rear, but the idea of trying to stop at 20+ mph BMX style if the lock tight gives out, seems like a death sentence.


So I did some looking and fell for the idea of a bolt on hub, but the two places that looked like the go to for them were way pricey, Level and Phil. Both hubs are super nice, very fast and amazingly well constructed but well over the $200 mark. The other issue is I wanted something that was beefy enough to grind on. Destroying an axle on one of those hubs would bring tears to my eyes.


After some massive inter-webbing I found that Shimano XT 756 front disc hubs could be converted to a solid axel. They come standard with a dinky quick release that a stair set would eat up and forget tossing pegs on. The axel size is a 10mm x 1mm thread pattern, which is a pretty easy order for your local bike shop, and beefy enough to take some decent abuse. With that size axle you can reuse the hubs standard cones in combination with 20mm of spacers used accordingly, the standard front hub spacing is 100mm and most track rears are 120mm. The hubs themselves are rough $50-60 and the axle shouldn’t be more the $5-10. That’s a bolt on hub for roughly $55-70, pretty fair priced to end the stripped lock ring issue.


If you take a look at some of the photo’s, the build worked out way better then I thought it would. I had a bit of a headache figuring out spoke lengths, because the wheels have to be dished to accommodate the disc. The other issue I had was getting the cones tightened just right, they came loose on the first couple rides, but after a few rides I got them dialed in just right. If this kind of dialing or build make you nervous, don’t fret, that’s what bike shops are for.


Anyway, now I have a pretty bombproof set of hubs and I felt they were totally worth sharing. They aren’t the fastest, the prettiest, or the lightest, but then again they aren’t meant to be. I needed something sturdy to trick on. If they give out or I break an axle, my wallet won’t hurt as bad.

Philly Trip

I just spent two weeks back in Philly for spring break. It was a lot of fun thanks to Ronnie, Mike Shark, and the rest of the Philly guys. I got a sneak peak at the editing of Ronnie's fixed freestyle video Endless Scummer. That video is looking like a straight punch to the face. Link Here



For anyone who's headed up to the Philly area, definitely go check out Water Street Sessions. The riders up there are going off. Buttons, the former Orlando native, has been snapping photo's of some of the sessions. The photos on this post are from his flickr account. Check them out.

Everything is exploding!

Just got back from Atlanta, and after a gnarly weekend with kareem, and the long bus ride home.... I come home to the new GRIME video. Mike and the boys up north have been working hard on this and it definitely shows. The game has been stepped up. Also, Kareem was generous enough to send me back with a copy of Death Pedal 2, if anyone wants to watch it, I will probably have people over to view it over the weekend.( dont ask me to burn you a copy! buy it here)

You can follow the grime here

The race is only 12 days away. A few things worth repeating...

- $5 (race entry and/or trick contest entry)
- All bikes welcome.
- No bag is needed to race.
- Registration starts at 1PM and the race starts at 3PM.
- Wear a helmet. Even better, if you wear a helmet on race day you'll get a ten second head start!
- There will be six checkpoints and two volunteers at each checkpoint. This will keep things moving quickly.
- The only task required at a checkpoint is that you stop to get credit for being there.

After-party Info...
I just confirmed yesterday that an after-AFTER-party has been set as well. This will take place at Fubar Downtown. 658 Central Avenue St. Petersburg (minutes away from Cafe Bohemia). Huge list of bands and drink specials all night. If you pay for Fixed Fight you'll get in for free. Just keep your wristbands on from the race. Doors will open there at 7PM.

There you go. You have a full day on the 24th. See you ALL there.

This rules!

Something to think about...

"Be the change you seek in your world." — Gandhi

If your not happy with the state of things, do something about it. And let me be the one to point out the obvious but riding your bike to the bar doesn't count as "doing something"...

Have a great weekend! :)

NYC Pays $98,000 to Critical Mass Cyclist

"New York City agreed Tuesday to pay tens of thousands of dollars to five cyclists who filed a lawsuit saying they were harassed during the monthly cycling group-ride Critical Mass — including one man seen on videotape being shoved off his bicycle by an officer. As part of the settlement, the city will pay the cyclists a total of $97,751, with each plaintiff receiving $500 to $30,000 apiece and their lawyers receiving a total of $35,000."

I found it a bit comical the lawyers got almost as much as the cyclists but what can you do? Tip of the hat to Cole for the link...
