Chicken Adobo Fixed Gear
Haven’t posted here in awhile. Sorry about that. But I made an edit, clips from the last couple of days. Some leftover footy while helping out filming for Gnarcotix. Hope you all like it, enjoy.
H+son EERO
Ever since H+son realeased their rims, they’ve been part of the talk of the fixed gear wheel world ever since. I remember a little more than a year ago ( maybe more. maybe less) when I first discovered these wheels, all I thought to myself was, ” wow, now thats a DEEEEEEEEEP V”. Virtually being double the depth of a Velocity deep v. The hype began and everyone started purchasing these rims overseas. Dishing out about $45 more per rim than a Deep v. Then sadly an unfortunate incident occurred. A rim exploded, and was blogged about on about every single fixed gear/ track bike blog in the world. H+ did their homework and made some adjustments and to my knowledge, that is the only rim failure they have received.
With all of these super deep v’s being released such as the velocity B43s, H+ plus sons formation face and SL42, and now our friends over at IminusD , many of the “fixed gear freestyle” riders out there simply say, make a wider rim, and I’ll ride them.As what everyone said about the velocity deep v. With wider rims being the answer to the beads of the tires popping off from doing tricks such as flatground 540s. So velocity re-released and somewhat improved one of their older rims, the chukker. Gnarcotix is currently riding the IminusD rims, and many velocity sponsors such as Chris Fonseca and other No Cassettes Riders are riding the B43s and Chukkers.
Now H+son has once again made an attempt to be at the top of the charts with their newest release. The EERO ( pronounced air-0, weird I know, then again its coming from a company called H+ son)
43.333333 mm deep. That is about .333333 mm deeper than a b43 and 1.33333 than their previous rims. Also it is 22mm wide which is about 2mm wider than their formation face and sl42.
The velocity chukker wins the battle of width with a measurement of 24mm wide.
I think these things are pretty cool. Just hoping that they don’t “taco” again.
One Gear, No Idea. Chris Akrigg
When I said that you’d be hearing from me soon. I wasn’t joking.
First off Chris Akrigg is a six-time National british trials champion. He rides for mongoose. Yes, Mongoose. He may be new to the fixed gear world, but he isn’t new to cycling. It’s awesome seeing him transfer his trials skills, to a track bike. After watching this video, I feel that it’s safe to say. He’s one of the best out there. On any bike, that is.
Now let’s see if Danny MacAskill will hop on a track bike.
Introduction: Manny
I bought a polished Sugino Zen chainring off of Eric about a couple of months ago. Didn’t know much about him. Now I’m here introducing myself as a blogger on his website.
I hope everyone will enjoy all of the crap that I feel is necessary for the world to know about.
Now I guess it’s time for an intro.
My name is Manny.
That is my car. Just got a new paintjob. Maaco. Cheap.
One of those bikes is also mine. The Cinelli to be exact.
That’s all. For now.
You’ll hear more from me soon.
