Seat Collars Ahoy!

So… first off a slight diss to the industry! WTF is up with all the collar sizes? Can’t we all get along and bring it down to two? Took us some time to figure out what to focus on but we are offering 4 sizes: 28.6/30.0/31.8/34.9 their weights are from 20 grams to 21.3grams. Then when we get time - soon… our seat post will arrive and your bike will thank you.

 

The seat collars utilize Straitline Components patent pending design where you turn a bolt and tighten it onto the frame holding the seat. Actually we did trick it out a bit and use a custom barrel nut and they look really sick for such a simple product.

Once you buy the collar the need to match up kicks in and you start thinking of Straitline before food.

Now you have to tie it all in with some sick pedals then get bored of that color and repeat the process all over again!

This we cannot help you with but if you play your cards right, who knows.

Anyone ever play on Bing? I just found a blog feature for maps and I found my Van but it wasn’t there earlier today when I was looking at our warehouse! I wonder how close they can really zoom in?

EVOLVE… old school vid with Lenosky!

I admitted a few posts down that we now Tweet and I too can stalk and follow with you guys. And while I was stalking… stumbled onto Evolve on Jeff’s Lenosky’s Twitter account.

 

Jeff Claims this video is what pretty much Started it all for him and it definitely started it for me. I find it a trip that we now work with Lenosky because between him and Leech setting the standards we all went out to try and at least manual like them.

Jeff sent me a shot of Jack his son wearing some fresh threads! My grandma actually knitted Jeff some custom green slippers to match his older pedals and insisted that I get them to him, they are epic in hardwood floored homes!

 

Anyways here is the video that Jeff claims started it all-

Lenosky’s personal edition pedal is soon to drop and if you have yet to see it they are the sexiest pedal we have produced to date!

24 Karat gold pins –plated of course- and matte black body!

Oh and this is a trade secret Lenosky will deny if you even ask him about it!

WE NEED YOUR VOTE!

Freeride BC in North Saanich simply needs you fingers for one minute!~

 

This is a bike community correct? Well I am here to tug at your heart strings and ask for your and help and launch a modern bike park North Saanich BC.

 

We have been working for years on a local project with the community to develop a world class training center- www.freeridbc.blogspot.com www.freeridebc.com Now we simply need you to vote online!

I was planning to shout out about this park next summer but we really need to ask a serious favor.... go to this site and vote for our local park: http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf4470

You could help us open up the last phases faster than you think. Slalom tracks, advanced pump tracks and pro DJ lines are coming and from there indoor facilities with foam pits and ramps much like Rays.

 

The leading project on AVIVA is at 2800 votes, the most votes by the community wins the grant money up for Grabs.

So please treat this like a early xmas gift from yourself to the riding community and vote on this park!

 

This park is winning awards for it's concept and opening up the doors for other communities to do the same. Voting takes two minutes max and you will not get spammed for voting.

Thanks in advance guys, we really appreciate it!

Evil Pump Track of Death with Explosions and stuff!

Pump Tracks just sound so wimpy so the title ensures that you understand this will be a epic new addition to the Freeride BC course. http://www.freeridebc.com/
Chris Lamb is the man behind many of the best trails we love to shred in Whistler and last Summer he visited the park and got stoked on what we had planned. We were stoked just to have a guy like him build our slalom track!
So He has signed on to help future track development next Spring in http://www.freeridebc.com/ our local project of love!

The amazing people of Rotary have also agreed to help fundraise and in return we will have Chris make the Rotary Fitness section the place to be!

Straitline is on twitter!

Man how many online societies will I have to join in the next 3 years? But twitter can be syndicated on the blog so now it is easy for me to do it.

Yes, we Twitter and yes you should follow us and peer into our minds.

Lets make it fun though!

4 links... one goes to the Twitter acount but 3 do not! One will make you smile, one may make you go kill yourself after, maybe one is a hidden passion you hide, one will erase all the previous bad things and make you giddy!

Choose wisley my friends!

LINK 1 Must be this one!

LINK 2 Are you sure?

LINK 3 May be illegal in 43 Countries!

LINK 4  No for real it is this one!

Alan Hepburns first post!

Alan and Casey are going to be posting.. yay!

They are what I like to call little MAC Bi***s and there is no easy program for Mac to blog from. It is like they are that annoying guy in the coffee line up. You know, the guy who is soo fancy and advanced his coffee order has 32 words in it.

But we forgive them like we have almost forgiven America for buying our beer companies and Whistler!
