Misc. news.

Originally, Macneil had plans to make the Pivotal setup adjustable fore and aft, as well as just the angle of the seat. However, they decided it would be too expensive and shelved the idea. However, Alienation have decided to make it happen. I'm not holding out much hope, but maybe it's based more on the SL than the Odyssey/Fit pans. Not keen.





More pics, info and colour-ways after Interbike, which is in 2 weeks time or so. Always a busy time of year parts wise, so time to gear up for that I guess!

In other news, Daniel Dhers won the Summer Simpel Session. Isaac Lesser got second place - UK RPRZNT?

More S&M hub news.

Lurking pays off. Those were the shots of the S&M hub, and here's another one - this time with a drilled out 8t driver?



Shiny. Another rumour flying around is that they're potentially going to be out-sourced from S&M to none other than Profile? Who knows!

In other "Vague news about hubs" news - Alienation have popped up with a new clutch-system rear hub. Not a freecoaster! They're almost silent, and theoretically give almost instant engagement. Various companies have been doing them for MTBs for some time, and they're popular for commuter road-bikes and the like, so it was only a matter of time 'til they appeared in BMX. Allegedly the Ratchet was potentially going to be clutch-drive very, very early on, but Mr. French didn't like how quick it engaged going fakie. Hmm... Anyway, Alienation! More on Ride.



Might as well put this here too - Demolition have finally got a placca pedal out:



Apparently it's "Bad music, awesome riding" day for webvideos. First up is some nuts riding but awful music from DahStreets. Ben Hittle's getting dangerously close to breaking into the Top 5 riders to watch list?



BNQT decided to do a "Best of..." edit that teamed their best footage with the worst music they could find:
