SPIKE HI BAR

Breakbrake17 / Spike put together a mini edit with Wonder at their local park to promote their Hi Bar. Keep your eyes peeled on this crew, lots of new things in the works for 2012!

The entire team has been riding these bars for quite a while without any hiccups or complaints. They come in blue, black, and flashy chrome. They are plenty wide and have a comfortable backsweep as well. For the time being, I can’t see myself riding any bars but these.

Welcome to CSK

Here are a few clips for a new project I am working on called CSK. Fortunately, I have a group of friends who encourage the pursuit of fulfillment, so a long time running joke has now turned in to something real.

Chris made me some prototype stickers. Others are on the way. Get at me if you’re interested.

I’ll be introducing the rest of the group over the coming weeks with some short interviews so please tune in.

Spike 2 Piece bars

I’ve been riding the Spike 2 piece bars for a good month now and have to say that I’m really satisfied with how they came out.

The changes made to the v2 style were great improvements. The back sweep at 12˚ is pretty aggressive at a first glance but only took a day to adjust to. They come in a massive 29″ width. Really comfy uncut however I took off a half inch on either side. There are convenient notches on either end to guide your cuts. The 1.5˚ up sweep combined with 4.5″ rise give a great ride as well. Also, you really can’t go wrong with chrome. I think that most if not all of the team is riding them.

Contact us to purchase.

Breakbrake17 Production Charmer Build

Just built up a new vanilla cream Charmer. Real happy with how the color turned out and the geo changes that were made from the sample that I’ve been riding. Huge thanks go out to from Yang at BB17 and Spike Parts, Kengo at Phoenix, Zloggy, and Tre for all their help.

Spike Parts, 14mm Female Hubset and Y6 Sprocket

Pretty stoked on BB17’s new SPIKE PARTS hubs. They are 36 hole, female and will come with optional front and rear guards that replace the cone spacers. I will hopefully have my set rolling soon and will surely post photos of them once they are built! I’ve also been running the steel splined Y6 sprocket for the past month and could not be happier. This one piece design will surely be a great compliment to any bmx style drivetrain. It’s stiff and has stayed true after multiple slams. Be on the lookout for these parts in the Fall.

Jruff’s 26″ Charmer on 26’s

Jacob had been riding 700c’s his 26″ Charmer (yes the clearances are that good) and we felt it was necessary to put on 26’s to see how it handled with the appropriate wheel size. Besides the wheel being a little too far back in the dropouts (we could have taken a few chain links out), the bike seemed pretty proportionate with smaller wheels.

New Conversion: Bike Check

I’m really excited to share my newest build, the Breakbrake17 26er Charmer (on 29ers). I’ve been fortunate to have the support from Yang and BB17 for nearly 1 year now and I am very grateful to have been able to work on the Charmer frames and other parts. With all of the hype around negative bottom brackets I decided it was time to give a spin. As most everyone who has switched has commented, the raised center of gravity takes a few pedals to settle in to. A change in 5.5cm makes a drastic difference. Apart from that however, the 26er still has the same solid clearance as the original Charmer and rolls just as smooth. The higher bb does necessitate taller bars in order to off set the higher seat. Against the guidance of some of the Zlog crew I sought out some 4″ Immortis Bucket Bars. Torey seemed to get down with them and their cruiser style for some reason appealed to me. Definitely the stiffest handlebars i’ve ridden. The narrow cross bar and back sweep also required some getting used to. Apart from that, I’m running a slotted 14mm axle on 14mm dropouts (weight savings) that will soon be replaced by an appropriate hub and axle combo. Also, riding an Unknown chainring and a cushy set of Phoenix v2 straps. Also, the Premium pivotal was the best investment of $25 hands down. Thanks to all those who supported the build and my daily enjoyment on it.
