FIXED GEAR SF – TOGETHER AGAIN

January 29, 2024

With the recent jump start of the channel, I’ve been capturing a bunch of photos alongside our film days. This collection of images is from our latest video in downtown San Francisco. It has been incredibly refreshing to reconnect with the crew and pick up where we left off. I’ve now posted a video a week for the last month and am already reminded of how difficult it is to keep up with the 24-hour content cycle. Social media is a beast, but we’ll be looking for new ways to streamline our approach and make it sustainable. All that being said, enjoy the photo collection and keep your eyes peeled for the new video dropping tomorrow morning.

FIXED GEAR BIKE CHECK – JAKE LANICH 2024

January 29, 2024

Wheel Talk’s very own Jake Lanich gives us an update on his MASH AC-3 Frameset (Black Scopes) fixed gear build. It had been 4 years since I last filmed a bike check with Jake and surprisingly enough, he’s still riding a lot of the same parts. There are interview moments peppered throughout this video which are my personal favorite parts of the edit. I added a full parts rundown as well as the gear I used to film this video below.

FIXED GEAR – MAXED OUT IN OAKLAND

January 8, 2024

Wow, here we are, blog post number 954. We’ve come a long way and it feels good to be back in here sharing photos for all of you. I’m not even entirely sure if people still read and follow blogs, but I’ve always found the Wheel Talk website as a useful resource when it comes to pulling up images at a moment’s notice. All that being said, let’s get to the reason why we’re here. MAXFXD came to the Bay Area, so we made sure his trip was complete with a trip over to Oakland so that he could see more than just San Francisco. SF is great, don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t have the same textural quality that Oakland carries. I’ll be sharing a video edit from this day tomorrow, so stay tuned, and keep your eyes peeled for that coming out on my YouTube channel.

MISSION CRIT VII – 2022 PHOTOS

September 6, 2022

San Francisco’s legendary Mission Crit popped off over the weekend with 6 days packed full of track bike racing & mayhem. The event tee’d off on Wednesday at Hellyer Velodrome, then moved back up to The City on Thursday with an alleycat + registration. Things then heated up on Friday night with a short circuit race held at an indoor go-kart track. This event brought to life the term “rubbing is racing” as riders were sent over the knee high barricades more than a handful of times (Video evidence HERE).

All of which brought us to Saturday’s main event, the Mission Criterium. Riders from around the globe came to partake in what has become the largest fixed gear race on the planet. With that being said, I’d like to take a moment and give huge shoutout to James Grady, the countless volunteers and everyone who helped to bring the fixed gear community together for this incredibly memorable moment. Things wouldn’t be the same without all of your continuous efforts. (More info on Mission Crit + the Fixed Gear Triple Crown can be found HERE)

After all was said and done there wasn’t a single person without a smile on their face. The course was cleared and the streets that were shutdown for the race were graciously given back to the city until we could do it all over again next year. If racers weren’t tired yet they could look forward to the Tracklocross race on Sunday followed by the “Giro di San Francisco” on Monday. If you raced all 6 days or even showed up to all 6 events, then go ahead and give yourself a massive pat on the back. It’s probably a good time to take it easy as we hopefully exit out of this mind numbing heat wave here in California. 🥵 🏁

FIXED GEAR – LOST & FOUND (PKT 001)

July 13, 2021

Any given Thursday. You know the drill, every Thursday we meet up in San Francisco to ride track bikes and do a quick jaunt around the city. Patrick Fixie King usually hosts the ride out and posts the route the day before. We’ve done this route in years past, but have never captured it on video, until now that is. Shout out to everyone who comes out to these and if you live in the area, you should definitely come ride with us sometime. The more the merrier. We’ll see you next time.

FIXED GEAR BIKE CHECK – BRYAN DEMPLER (NARRATED BY SLUMWORM)

June 23, 2021

Fixed Gear Bike check of the homie Bryan Dempler’s Low Track build. Bryan recently moved from San Francisco to LA. As we packed up the van we realized that there wasn’t going to be enough room to fit his bike. So I rode it to my house. Where it sat. For months… and months. Enough months that it collected some serious dust and feathers sitting in my bedroom. Recently I was able to get it back to him, but before I did I decided to shoot this bike check in Chinatown as a final sendoff.
