AP took me on a tour of LA’s Downtown last week and we ended up running into Chris Thrasher in the process. This was only my second time riding in downtown since I moved here, but I can already tell that I’ll be spending a lot more time down here. Especially these crappy alleyways. Just don’t touch anything.
AP reached out to me on Instagram earlier this week and wanted to meet up to ride. We met in DTLA where he gave me a quick lay of the land considering it was only my second time riding there since the move. We grabbed some $5 Chinese food, found a place to eat it, then shot some photos and filmed a one day video that will come out next Wednesday (4.17.19). Mark your calendars and until then enjoy this photo set.

Mission Crit 6 is just days away and we’re getting really hyped to head back up to San Francisco for it. The planets are going to align this year as the race falls on 420.(A sacred holiday in the bike community) It basically a be there or be there type of situation this year so start making those arrangements and we’ll see you there. Until then, enjoy this video of our ride before heading over to watch the start of Mission Crit 5.
Devin Tolman is your Portland connect if you’re ever looking for somebody to ride bikes and shoot photos with. He’s an avid photographer himself and is an excellent person to have around when it comes to camera questions & conversations. It’s always good having another set of eyes on deck.
Devin is one of the few homies I know who is runs a 650 up front (for obvious reasons) and has a true Tarck bike. His Thrasher is one of those iconic builds that really takes me back to 2009, before 26″ became a thing and everyone was still focused on keo tricks. It’s awesome to see things come full circle as another fixie resurgence begins to take shape and more people start building up 700c setups designed for tricks. Bring back trick track.

NYC – Broadway to Williamsburg Bridge. This was filmed days after I got a GoPro / Gimbal setup and was one of the first times playing with it. I haven’t used the chest mount since, but after chopping this together, I think I’m going to have to. The camera height dropped midway, but hey we’re here to play. // 04.24.18
It’s been 3 years since we released a new kit. Not only have we been waiting for the right time but we have also been hunting for the right manufacturer to make the kits. Having worked with two companies previously we either had issues with high minimums or not exactly the quality we were expecting. We were looking for something that we felt would match the care we put into the brand. Luckily Rapha decided to step their toes into the custom game right at the same time we were relaunching the website and Wheel Talk brand. Being friends of the Rapha brand we were quickly put in touch with their lead creatives to see what we could come up with. After some emails and some toying around with their editing tool we were able to come up with a style that we were happy with. Also, knowing that it will get produced with Rapha quality leaves us with no worry that the finished product will be what we envisioned.
We hope y’all are as happy with this as we are. Pre-orders will be open all month with an 8 week lead time. All orders will be shipped priority mail once they arrive.
Happy riding everyone!

What up fellow Riders! Spencer here, the newest contributor to Wheel Talk. I wanted to introduce myself, go over my love(s) for riding, and provide a scoop on what you can expect to see from me in what’s shaping up to be frickin’ awesome year for bike riding. So let’s get into it.
I’ve been riding bikes for well over 12 years now, with the past 9 years residing in San Francisco, California. I was fully convinced I’d be able to push my limits and grow as a rider after diving straight into a truly fast paced topographically-rich city. And… I was right.
My first bike love was (and remains in many ways) forged on the urban track bike. I specifically say ‘urban track’ because I am not a velodrome track racer or possess (much of any) traditional track hardware on my current fixed rig. I always found myself firmly split between doing tricks and charging down hills, slashing thru car traffic to be my own personal bread n’ butter.
6 blocks, 3 minutes, 1 wheelie. Jake Lanich, better known as @brothalanich popped up this wheelie the moment we turned on the camera, then proceeded to wind it through the neighborhood on our way to downtown. This is a precursor to a much greater video we filmed during the week I was in San Francisco. Stay tuned.
