PRD01
Felt Seatpost
Price: $39
Colors: Black
Web site: feltbmx.com
Info: This lightweight aluminum post from Felt uses a four-bolt design for “stronger clamping,” according to Felt. The post also fits 9mm rails and you could probably kill a man with it…but you can do that with just about anything.
PRD02
Profile Gas Pedals
Price: $120
Colors: Polished, black, blue, red, tangerine, antifreeze
Web site: profileracing.com
Info: CNC machined from 6061-T6 billet aluminum, the newly improved Gas Pedals feature 36 easy-access “traction pegs” for “superior grip.” These pedals also have three sealed bearings per pedal and weigh in at 24.6 ounces (21.2 ounces with titanium axle upgrade). Where’s the fart joke?
PRD03
Premium Chain Tensioner
Price: $10
Colors: Black
Web site: premiumproducts.us
Info: This cute little thing from Premium is made of 6061 aluminum, and is designed to work with short dropouts, comes in either a right or left side version (although you can just run them upside down and they’ll work on either side), and has a weight of 0.9 ounces.
PRD04
Kink Featherweight Sprocket
Price: $55
Colors: Black
Web site: kinkbmx.com
Info: The Injin Chi (current featherweight boxing champion-thanks Google!) of the sprocket world, the Featherweight sprocket is made of 7075-aluminum, and comes in a variety of sizes (25, 28, 30, 33, 36, and 39-tooth). The 28-tooth version shown here weighs in at Vaseline-covered 2.9 ounces. And, in case you’re wondering, it doubles as a really shitty plate.
PRD05
RNC Brake Lever
Price: $35
Colors: Black, silver
Web site: rncmfg.com
Info: Departing from your typical brake lever, the RNC lever uses a pinch-bolt system to hold the cable rather than the traditional ball-end, and this allows you to reuse a broken cable several times over. The lever itself is made of 6061 aluminum, has a sealed bearing for smoother pulling, and weighs 4.5 ounces.
PRD06
Standard M5 sprocket
Price: $40
Colors: Blue, black, red, gold, silver
Web site: standardbykes.com
Info: Probably the closest you’ll ever get to driving/riding something called an M5, the M5 sprocket from Standard is made of 6061 aluminum and comes in a buttload of sizes (25, 28, 30, 32, 33, and 36-tooth) and colors (above). Do any of you actually know the exact size of a “buttload”?
PRD07
Odyssey Midway Rim
Price: $65
Colors: Hard-anodized black, chrome
Web site: odysseybmx.com
Info: As the name suggests, the Midway Rim is a more heavy-duty rim than Odyssey’s Hazzard Lite, but not overbuilt like older triple-walls of the day (see: the original Hazard rim). The Midway is available in either 36 or 48 holes. Note: if you plan on using the Midway Rim as a wedding band for your giant girlfriend, we suggest going for the chrome version.

Animal Beanie
Price: $22
Colors: Blue, brown
Web site: animalbikes.com
Info: Once you get done slobbering all over our sultry model, you’ll be sure to notice this 100% cotton beanie from Animal. I said stop slobbering-Dave Clucas can feel you undress him with your eyes.

PRD03
Eastern Pedals
Price: $33 (unsealed), $54 (sealed)
Colors: Anodized red, anodized blue, anodized gold, black, silver, navy
Web site: easternbikes.com
Info: According Leigh Ramsdell, these pedals “can smash walnuts with ease.” You may find them useful on your bike, since they have heat-treated chromoly axles, removable pins, a knurled pedal surface, and come in either sealed or unsealed versions (both weigh in at 23 ounces for the aluminum version).
PRD04
Inopia Bag
Price: $55
Colors: Black with brown
Web site: inopiafootwear.com
Info: Composed of a backpack-style upper body and an extra-padded lower camera bag compartment, the Inopia bag also features padded and contoured shoulder straps, chest and waist straps, mesh side and front pockets, and a tripod strap. You could even fit a severed head in the thing if you wanted to.
PRD05
Perv Ringlet Sprocket
Price: $50
Colors: Black
Web site: greasycomb.com
Info: While I find myself too lazy to actually find out what a “ringlet” is, you’ll be safe knowing that a Ringlet Sprocket is a CNC-machined (of 6061 aluminum), 8mm-thick sprocket that comes in 30 (which weighs in at 4.55 ounces), 36, and 39-tooth sizes.
PRD06
Profile Slim Jim Seatpost Clamp
Price: $17
Colors: Black, red, blue, gold, tangerine
Web site: profileracing.com
Info: Remember when you used to have that quadruple-bolt seatpost clamp a few years back? Well, Profile can help you forgot those days with these single-bolt clamps made of CNC billet-machined aluminum. They weigh in at just a smidge more than, well, nothing (.78 ounces).
PRD07
S&M Hot Seat
Price: $26
Colors: Black/gray
Web site: sandmbikes.com
Info: After you stop peering at the sewn S&M logo, you’ll notice that this new seat from S&M has a generous amount of padding protected by a Kevlar-type front and rear, along with plastic nose and tail guards, and 9mm rails. And maybe, if you’re like those dudes at fairs who guess the weights of people, you should be able to tell that this seat weighs 17.4 ounces. If not, then I’ll take the big pink bear up in the corner.

Hell, they even come with a cute little sticker that Bob designed himself.
