The Radavist

Fyxation’s Sparta fork lineup just got two new additions, a QR version and the Sparta FCR, full carbon version. The Sparta QR takes the original 1 1/8″ aluminum straight steerer carbon fork design and makes it QR compatible. The Sparta QR retails for $299. The Sparta FCR forks have triple cargo cage mounts, internal dynamo routing, and a new thru-axle design which features a removable lever on the axle. The Sparta FCR retails for $420.

See all the details at Fyxation and holler at your local dealer for ordering information.

The trifecta of MTB destinations has inspired the colors of the latest release from Fyxation. From the bone white plains of Fruita, Colorado to the red dirt of Moab and high piñon and juniper of Sedona, each of these pedals take inspiration from the natural tonality of these high desert MTB destinations. Head to your local dealer to see them in person or to purchase and head to Fyxation for more information.

I’m sure I enjoy posting forks like this as much as you enjoy seeing new options. Fyxation throws their hat into the ring of the carbon fork with rack mounts circuit, offering up a 1 1/8″, 12mm thru-axle, flat mount disc fork. The Sparta will be available in a tapered option later on in Fall of 2017, but for now, this 1 1/8″ option is available. See more at Fyxation.

New this fall from Fyxation is their leather six pack caddy. Made in Wisconsin, carry it as is, or attach it to your top tube for the perfect porter portage. Pre-order now for an October 15th delivery.

When it really comes down to it, the way bicycles are characterized or described is a matter of a few degrees and centimeters. Finding that middle ground as far as angles, clearances and other key measurements isn’t easy. The Fyxation Quiver tries on the “jack of all trades, master of none” hat for size. Now, don’t read that as negative commentary, because you’d be surprised how similar the bikes in your own personal quiver are… Removable derailleur, cable stops and other design details make this a contender for the all-rounder market.

“In early 2012 when we started to work on the Quiver our goal was to introduce a frameset that was affordable, versatile and flexible enough that with a few different parts you could build your ideal bike. Whether you need an aggressive commuter, a comfortable city bike or an affordable frameset for cyclocross season, we feel the Quiver is the frameset for you.

Relaxed road geo, plenty of room for large tires and fenders plus Fyxation’s unique combination of removable derailleur hanger and cable stops make this frame just as at home as a single speed, internal or 1×10 build. Designed with horizontal dropouts, removable derailleur hanger and removable cable stops, the Quiver can be run as an ultra clean single speed or as a 2×10 build. We also made the rear wheel spacing 132.5 to accommodate a road hub or internal gear hub. Want to run a large tire? The Quiver can take up to 700x47c. Need fenders or a rack? The Quiver comes equipped with dual eyelets in the rear dropout and fender eyelet on the fork.

The Quiver is in production now and will be in stock at Fyxation dealers in mid April.”

“Made out of double butted 6061 aluminum the 31.8 Rodeo Pursuit bar is strong, stiff and light. The Rodeo Pursuit Bullhorn bar with 31.8 clamp provides a wide range of hand positions and a subtle 40mm drop for a comfortable and quick forward position. Whether riding the center for relaxed spinning or forward for sprints, the Rodeo Bullhorn bar is the ideal pursuit bar.”

Options are good, especially at this price!

As an homage to the classic “smokers” photo from the Tour of yesteryear, Kevin Dillard of Demoncats submitted this remake to the Fyxation photographer’s contest, landing him in the finalist list. See more at Fyxation.

Fyxation is on the move with yet another contest. This time, all you’ve gotta do is “like” their Facebook page to win one of their handlebar setups for 2012. Personally, I dig this flipped Alterra Cafe bar and yes, the photo has a little to do with it. Nice shot Pete!

Here’s a new video from Fyxation:

“The video is entirely composed of still photographs shot over two days in the studio and one day on the streets by Peter Diantoni of COG Magazine. Meticulous set up and lighting was required with the hundreds of component changes in the studio, and challenges of lighting and camera position on a moving rider. Special thanks to Milwaukee Bicycle Co. and State Bicycle Co. for donating bikes for the shoot; Ben’s Cycle for providing studio space; and rider Dan Mueller.”

Great photos Pete! As always!

– Drop: 140mm
