know that prices from overseas mail order companies can sometimes look cheaper
than from your local bike shop, but with all the crazy economic stuff going on
now it looks like this might be changing... Check out what a few of our products
are costing on mail order sites compared to the recommended retail prices at
your local shop, and don't forget if you buy local you get warrantee, service and

Proper Bikes team rider,
Dan Baker has just left Aus for 10 weeks of demos at Tokyo Disneyland... That sounds pretty cool on its own but this will be Dan's first trip OS... and even his first trip out of NSW, can you say life changing experience...
I'm sure that Dan's laid back Aussie vibe will go down well in Japan... he's doing ramp demos while Simon O'Brien and Mike Steingraeber ride flat and I’ve promised not to publish photos of the wacky outfits they will all be wearing...

Simple
Weaver frame
UK rider Mitch Yates has a new
signature frame with Simple, the production version will be available in about 6
months so this is the prototype. There's more info on the Ride UK website with a
few detail photos. (please note that the website states that it comes with a Mid
BB, it comes with a Spanish).
We just received a new
shipment of Simple bikes products including the sought after Eject hubs.
Back orders will be going out this week so check your local shop if
you've been waiting for one. We also have the new hubguards for the
eject hubs as well.
The hubguard for the eject hubs comes in black, silver, grey or white
and replaces the origional cone on the hub for a really neat fit. We
also have a plastic version thats super light and slips over the
existing cone...
This shipment also included the new wheel
slammers...
These little gadgets fill the gap between
your axle and drop out, so they work just like a chain tensioner but are
super neat and light. One of the best and "simple"est ideas
i've seen for a while. The slammers come in 14 sizes from 0.5mm to 8mm
so will work with any frame / chain / chainwheel combination. Each
slammer has a different size on each side so theres 7 diferent
combinations available...
This pic (thanks to Simple's UK distro)
shows the slammer and a peg adaptor which provides a larger area for a
peg...
The sizes are as follows.
1.5 and 2.0mm
2.5 and 3.0mm
3.5 and 4.0mm
4.5 and 5.0mm
5.5 and 6.0mm
6.5 and 7.0mm

new issue of 2020 will be out soon, here's a look at the ads we are running this
issue..

New Proper hubs
Here's some photos of the inside of
the new Proper ceramic bearing hubs... as you can see the usual 3 small sealed
bearings have been replaced by one big ceramic bush. The ceramic material is
very hard wearing but also runs like a bearing so there's very little friction.
These ceramic bearings will last for ages because the forces coming through from
the chain is spread over a much larger area than with regular bearings...
The drivers are available with 9t or
10t cogs and because the ceramic bush takes up less space the whole driver can
be made smaller, which also saves weight.
These hubs are available now from
your local BMX shop... click the photos to enlarge...
Superstar and StMartin websites
Both
the Superstar and StMartin websites have just undergone a big update, check them out
with all the new 08 products added, plus heaps of news and info... click the
logos to check out the new sites...
We just received our first
shipment of 2008 Proper Bikes products... The new stuff looks great with
the first look at the new ceramic bearing cassette hub. This new version
of the MagLite hub weighs only 370g, making it one of the lightest hubs
around and with the ceramic bearing in the driver you will never blow
out driver bearings ever again... We also got the new Mike Miller TTL
frame, plus new colours in wheels, rims, chainwheels, barends, the new
seat clamp. Check all the
products here
