Yesterday I got a question to my e-mail why I don’t draw the Simple frames with slightly bigger spacing between the dropouts to accommodate for hubguards. The standard is 110mm and making it bigger might make sense at first glance. Below, I’ll go into the details of why it’s a bad idea. Personally, I had never [...]

Back home in Stockholm the winter season is in full swing and the guys are now limited to ride the few indoor parks that are available. 5 more months until outdoor season again. Jesper Stern of Team Tumult recently did this edit from a session in Fryshuset. At the end there’s a nasty crash and world champ [...]

Just got this one sent to me by Matty from TemperedBikes. It’s an edit made of an afternoon riding session. Nice! I wanna go ride now!

I believe most people who visit this site knows that I currently work at a bikeshop. I’m pretty much doing all of the mechanic work there and of course I get to assemble/swap/service a lot of cranks. New and old. One thing that frustrates the hell out of me is 48-splined cranks. I can’t believe [...]

New edit from one of Simple Bikes teamriders, Eduards Zunda. Kid’s got skills and good style. I like.

From the driving forces behind Focalpoint comes Defero video mag that will showcase a wide variety of riders all around Australia. Read all about it on the Defero site after watching this promo video.

Kert Petersel of the Simple Bikes team in Estonia has got an interview up on the BMX Union blog. Interesting read for sure. He’s a nice guy and he seems to have his head on straight. He’s also a bad ass rider if any of you guys have missed that fact. Another Simple teamrider and good [...]

Focalpoint has got a new promo video for their new clothing line up on their index page featuring the FP crew doing some nice street stunts. The new flat peak caps look great, so does the new tee designs. Also, I’ve added a new link to an aussie bike company, Nightfall Bike Co., based in Cairns. [...]

I just saw these two cool looking custom completes built around Simple frames. These two bikes are available from Hell On Wheels in Sydney. I spotted (and snagged) the photos from their blog. The white and black one looks Ace!

A couple of days ago I received a nice little package of things to be tested. It’s the new “Symmetric stem” and the yet to be named cassette hub from Simple Bikes. The stem is short (49mm reach) and works about the same as the previous frontload stem, the “System”. It’s got an internal wedge/piston that [...]
