I’ve been riding this thing around on the weekends/days off.
I moved to NYC with two bikes and one was a one-niner but it didn’t last very long. Other than that and a few loaners here and there I’ve just been on single speeds and fixed bikes for the last 5 years.
This bike is not build [...]

Last year I was working for The Travel Channel on a TV show about NYC bike messengers and finally they have a page on their site devoted to the show. This is the first I’ve heard the title of the show. Triple Rush.
Triple Rush gives you an insider’s look at the chaotic workings of [...]

Fyxation sent out some of their new plastic (really they are high impact nylon) platform BMX pedals. I’m a little between polo bikes right now ( i don’t have one) so these went on a work bike. I have been riding them daily for a few weeks now.
When I rolled the bike out for the [...]

I’ve been riding this fork since before 2010 Worlds and it’s great.
When I was working with Drew at MKE to make this happen I had this to say about the idea.

Seen in Urban Velo
Here is another pedal ad in the current issue of Urban Velo that has bike polo in it. This ad is a little less obvious but that is no doubt a mallet shaft on the left side, and where else do you see bike riding through a chain-link fence.
These pedals being plastic [...]

I would never suggest riding metal pedals for hardcourt bike polo. The opposite really, metal pedals are the first thing I’d suggest swapping off a polo bike. Plastic all day, pedal strike will happen and you want it to happen with a soft material, not with metal pins griping the pavement.
That said, [...]

32h RADIAL front wheel for polo play????
about 3 years ago
are you playing polo on these? Why the radial lacing in the front?
about 3 years ago
very nice, how you like them so far?

with rims that deep, I don’t think the fact that they’re radially laced is going to matter much.

Radially laced front wheels are plenty strong. Only consideration would be hub flange strength. If they are cold forged (like Shimano) they can often handle it. Hub warranties most always indicate if radial lacing will void the warranty or not.

Yeah, this is the Gangsta Polo. The one big difference from the Gangsta Track is a seat stay bridge w/ brake mount.
