Bike Wrap by Jooks

BIKE WRAP made by Jooks from STEADFAST on Vimeo.

Jooks in Hokkaido, Japan designed a foldable soft-case for traveling with your bike. At the CMWC everyone was rolling around on the last day with cardboard boxes. Not only did you have to locate one, but the cardboard would rip when you were packing your bike. Looked like a pain. I was using my Sunlite case, which is massive, making it hard to cart around. The Bike Wrap looks like a really good solution to traveling with your bike. The padded sides provide protection and it’s simple enough to assemble.

Nice video too!

If you want to pick one up, they’ll have a booth at the Tokyo Bicycle Film Festival. Checkem out! Maybe someone in the states will stock them.

You get Campandgoslow, a brand for which our readership needs no introduction. When Cari and John were meandering back to Santa Fe from the MADE Bike Show, they dropped into the Campandgoslow HQ. While there, John got a sneak peek at the new Campandgoslow Trout Bar Tape, released today, and some of Casey’s personal bikes. Check out this inside look into your favorite bar tape brand below…

Radical Rigs 01: Dillen Maurer’s “Fall Risk” Custom Full Suspension and “Lil Jim” 1992 Suzuki

Many bike tinkerers often have an overlapping interest in cars. For those of you in this sliver of the Venn Diagram, Paul Kalifatidi presents the Radical Rigs series. Like the bikes you’ve seen on The Radavist, these cars might be perfect. They also might be so far from perfection that they go full circle and become that which they meant to eschew. They might be dented and dinged, they might be muddy and mad, they might even just be rad. In part one of Radical Rigs, Paul juxtaposes Dillen Maurer‘s Baphomet Bikes “Fall Risk” custom full suspension and his “Lil Jim” 1992 Suzuki…
