I stole this one off Facebook. Colony rider Liam Fahy-hampton has got a new rig and it’s looking mighty fine. And yes, it has a chain this time around.
On a side note, Liam is probably the only person in the world who used to run Eject hubs both front and back, one modded of course, to make it fit in the rear of the bike.
Came across these photos when looking through my photo library. Sure is a long time ago that I made the first prototypes of the Eject hub. The first one was finished on the 25th of September in 2005 and I had the first wheel built up a few days later. Sweet!
Good friend, videographer, multimedia student and all around ripper on the bike, Jesper Stern, has made some updates to his bike since last time and I wanted to add some content here with a new bikecheck. This guy has been riding with the first edition of the Eject hub since it was first released in 2005. Still using the same guard and it’s still going strong after just one bearing change.

Here are photos of some of the new Simple products that will be hitting the distros around the world shortly.
The new batch of Simple Eject hubs are shipping now and the new colors look great. Very bright and fresh. In a few weeks I’ll have a new bike built up with the latest parts. It’s gonna be super nice.
Ok, so a few posts back I speculated about Scotty Cranmer the machine running a Simple Eject hub in a recent video of him. Seems I was right… today a bikecheck shot at the Simpel Session turned up on FatBMX.
I have to admit that it’s nice to see my product on a high profile rider’s bike like that.
Kert rides street like a madman.
Kert rides for Simple Bikes.
Kert rides an Eject hub.
Kert is in a Simple Bikes ad in Props #67.
Go Kert!
This is the new Simple ad that is in the new issue of Ride UK, featuring Oba Stanley and the Eject hub. The photo was shot by Rutger Pauw during the Simple Bikes rider gathering before the Roskilde festival.
I really like the photo. Good work Rutger!
It recently came to my knowledge that chainless internet hero Liam Fahy-Hampton’s runs not one, but two (2) eject hubs! He runs two front wheels, both with Eject hubs and has drilled and tapped one of the axles to take a 12mm stud for extra strength use in the back. Liam rides without a drivetrain and that’s just plain insane!
