CW is back!


I did a double-take when I first saw this on a German BMX site. At first, I thought the Germans were doing a CW tribute. I then did some more research and found out that CW Racing had indeed been set up, by none other than Mike Miranda, their old pro! Check out the framesets above. They are made like back in the day, with some new-school influences. If you manage to get one of these, you will need a quill stem and a 1" threaded headset. Looks like Hollywood Mike Miranda is back on the gas! Check it out at cw-racing.com

Good wheels for racing


If you are serious about racing, get a good pair of wheels. The rims that I would choose would be the rims pictured above. Those are Atomlab Aircorp rims. These are no ordinary rims. For starters, they are one of the strongest rims out there in the market. the second good thing about them is that they were designed by a person that actually used to race BMX and not just talk about it. I would rather buy from a guy who has been there and done that and the owner of Atomlab, Mike Flaherty, gets my respect anyday. All my bikes, with the exception of my Kuwahara Survivor and my 29'er, run Atomlab rims laced to various hubs. Oh yes. Before I forget. Get a good wheelbuilder to build your rims.
