IPATH have recently set up a Bmx team consisting of some pretty good riders, the riders are Jim Bauer, Andrew Jackson, Brian Yeagle and Dave Thompson. shamefully ive never heard if IPATH but i had a look at there site and wow do they do some nice looking stuff.
One piece seats seem to be all the rage these days and fly have just released there final design for theirs.
here’s a quote from fly themselves:
“After lots of thinking and many prototypes, we have received the final design for the Uno seat.
For almost 1 year we have been trying to solve the problem on the post moving when tightening the clamp. We tried lots of diferent materials. Eveything available. But no matter how hard they were, the problem was still there. We didn´t want to just use a tube sleeve that will not only break the one piece seat concept, but also may create movement between the seat and post so it made it really hard to achieve.
Checking the marks when we tight the seat, we realized that there are two areas where most of the pressure. That´s on the sides and close to the clamp bolt. So we came with the idea of using two aluminum plates on that place and it worked!
The inside tube gives an extra strength to the whole seat and also prevents the plates and post to squeeze.
Now is time for some testing andi f everything goes fine, we´ll start production to have them avialble around september.
The weight is only 260grs. / 9.1 oz. And you will have it in black, white, red, purple and rubber.
Hope you like it!“
some pretty sudden news, Straight from thecomeup “Mike Taylor just hit me up to let me know that he’s off Sunday and now riding for BSD. Not sure why but I’ll let you know when I know.”
