Volume Bikes: Resist.
Posted by: kris on Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 10:43 am
In an announcement posted by Volume today the launching of a new component brand Resist was announced. This is going to be Volumes outlet for fixed, 26″ and apparently commuter parts in an effort to keep the Volume branding minimal. The Resist site is live but with nothing other than the logo below above. Here’s what went up on the Volume site:
“Some of you guys probably are wondering what the hell happened to the Volume Stamp sprockets we showed samples of awhile back. Volume started to make too many parts that we swore Volume would never do, Volume was always to be a frame, fork and bar company. We decided to start a new parts brand, Resist Parts. Resist will focus on parts for fixed, 26” and our new line of commuter bikes. It’s endless on what the possibilities are for Resist. The natural progression of Volume in making new lines of frames, Resist will always be able to supply the parts.
We’ll have more info on the Resist Parts site on what will be available. Production of parts will be available Oct. Stay tuned!”
The once Volume splined sprockets have now become these pretty Resist pieces…

Mission Workshop Goodies.
Posted by: kris on Monday, August 30th, 2010 11:07 amThese are the last of the videos…for a couple hours anyway haha. Some new cuts from Mission Workshop with the Monty, the Tokyo launch party and their London shop setup. The amount of growth Mission has seen this year is awesome…really making moves with some solid products.
BreakBrake17 Cobra.
Posted by: kris on Friday, August 20th, 2010 12:11 pmI first head of BB17 when they dropped their riser bars some time back. They continue to expand their offerings to the fixed freestyle world with some fresh colors on their Cobra fork. If you havent seen this before its definitely a fork to consider when setting up a new front end. Integrated top cap and fluted steerer tube definitely set this apart form most other forks on the market as of yet. Clears 47c tires with a 408 axle to crown. This green piece is purdy.
Coming Eighthinch Goods.
Posted by: kris on Friday, August 13th, 2010 10:14 amThe dudes at Eighthinch are constantly expanding their line of products. Over the past few months theyve come out with at least 15 new bits ranging from trick frames to polo mallets. This new batch of stuff, coming in shortly, covers much of the odds and ends of having a bike. Pedals, grips, chains, headsets, bottom brackets and bar ends to finish off a new build or keep your current one in top shape. Fixed freestlye has seen me going through countless sets of pedals, grips and a few chains (forks and seats are the worst for me!) so these are a nice option!
V2 Julians!
Posted by: kris on Wednesday, July 21st, 2010 11:33 amEighthinch just got in the newest addition to their selection of wheels…the V2 Julian! These differ from the previous version in these are triple wall instead of double. They’ve also knocked the price down a bit so getting rollin on these is that much easier. Ive been beating up my current set of the original Julians since January and they’re still going strong. Adding that third wall will just make them that much more beastly. It looks like they went with the same hubsets on these which means, though not necessarily intended, pegs will fit easily on the rear axles. Fresh logo layout that im digging too! As of now they have these in matte black, high polish silver and white…snag ‘em in the Eighthinch online store.
The Rummy.
Posted by: kris on Wednesday, July 7th, 2010 10:59 amRolltop meets “Messenger” bag in the newest offering from Mission Workshop, The Rummy. This thing is looking pretty fresh and comes in three colors (black, gray and olive). Really like that the hardware on this beast is aluminum, anodized at that, hopefully lasting longer than some of the plastic fasteners i know ive laid waste to in the past. Cool deal on the reversible strap too…sure that’ll get a few more people into it. Ive been back to backpacks for a while now but this this is looking pretty tasty. Check the MW site for more info and photos along with a slew of other bags!
Polo All Ova’.
Posted by: kris on Wednesday, June 30th, 2010 4:17 pmIts summer…which means youll likely see more people out hitting balls with sticks on their bikes. Theres a good number of polo tournaments and such planned for the coming months all over the place. Below is a couple videos of recent event, an upcoming one in Moscow and another new piece from Eighthinch…the Golden Mallet. If youre hosting an event hit the guys up for a set of these! Meant for tournament winners, as denoted on the shaft, im sure people would be in to winning one of these. Ill be getting some of the new polo stuff in to try out so be on the lookout for some photos and bits about it.
Eighthinch Stockpile.
Posted by: kris on Tuesday, June 29th, 2010 2:37 amIn addition to the splined sprockets that went up yesterday…a few other goods made their way through the Eighthinch doorway. Bash guards and polo sticks!
The sprockets have been shot and are now ready to take home from the store.
