Piste has become a little more versatile.
The irregular F RIM order event has started from yesterday.
Don't miss this opportunity, as you can order carbon rims with the look and specs of your choice at the same price!
Today we will be introducing a custom bike using F RIM.
I started riding piste about 17 years ago, and the number of bikes and parts available has increased incomparably since then.
It's not like anything has changed dramatically, but I feel like my range of activities has definitely expanded.
If I were to mention one of the completely new movements, I would say that the ``Tracro'' is a good example.
A race similar to cyclocross where you race on unpaved terrain in fixed gear without brakes and compete for position.
The guy who started this is seriously crazy and probably stupid.
I've been there before, and it's really tough, and I thought about retiring in the middle many times.
Since it is such a minor race, of course there are no professionals, and the entry barrier is extremely low.
It's rare to experience something so silly and fun as an adult.
At SLOW BURNIN' 2023, which was held last month, our staff member Tatsu appeared in Torakuro.
Perhaps because of this, I felt less resistance to wearing thicker tires on piste, or rather, I became more interested in it.
In fact, the number of such consultations has increased.
Even if you don't go to the track, it's okay to ride a block tire fixie bike in your daily life.
If it looks interesting, you should try it. That's what a piston is supposed to be.
ALL-CITY BIG BLOCK
Finally, today's main topic.
I recently built one with a setting that I've been wanting to try.
The theme is "Crossover Fixed Gear."
It has been designed to allow you to seamlessly drive from urban areas to gravel roads and off-road.
The key point this time is the wheels.
Thick tires tend to be heavy and feel sluggish when riding around town.
We overcame this with lightweight F-35 carbon wheels and all-round tires.
Panaracer Gravel King SK+
F RIM has a wide design, so it goes well with thicker tires.
For city riding, it offers quick and direct operability typical of a piste.
With its stable performance even on rough roads, you will be able to ride in various environments without stress.
Carbon wheels tend to be used in racing situations, but wouldn't it be fun to use them like this?
If you ride a bike with wide tire clearance such as this BIG BLOCK, LEGACY or BLANKS, this is a customization you should try.
In that case, please order your own custom-made carbon rim.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
