Brick Lane Bikes released a full carbon clincher disk!

“We are hugely excited and proud to introduce the new BLB Notorious Zero full carbon Disc Clincher Wheel.
Rolling on Japanese EZO bearings, the wheel features a very low rolling resistance compared to standard sealed bearings and using 4 bearings ensures a prolonged lifetime of superior performance.

Constructed using an Aerospace Grade’ Nomex honeycomb core (an ultra-lightweight yet super strong structural core material developed specifically for the most demanding aerospace applications) and featuring a flange design that improves power transfer yet more, while lightening the overall mass and the convenience of a carbon clincher rim.”
Let us know what you think about the Notorious Zero Wheel on our Instagram.

“The 8bar KRZBERG v5 is a totally new design that was developed by 8bar. It now comes with a Low-Pro Geometry, lightweight 6066 double butted Aluminium, a full carbon tapered fork and semi-integrated seatpost.

You can Pre-Order your 8bar KRZBERG v5 now at the 8bar online shop until Jan 18th and get a free 8bar shirt if you write as a comment “I want a free shirt” when you checkout. The first orders will be shipped beginning of February.

– custom 8bar dropouts
– full carbon tapered fork: integrated type 1 -1/8″ – 1 -1/2″

We Are Back!

clThe last two months have been crazy for us since we got back to the states. Traveling, riding and spending time with family have been the main items on the agenda. . Recently we both started working 7 days a week and it has seriously consumed our time. We have now settled in and are very excited to catch up on everything.

We have tons of emails to go through and a shit ton of pictures to edit. We are going to start chipping away at it tonight.

We shot this rad Claud Butler while in London. The full photo set will be up this week.

Hope everyone has been getting miles in this winter!

If you need anything from us hit up the email. We will get back asap.
