Those of us who grew up in the 1980s and 1990s remember these pedals. Or at least our shins do! Before clipless foot retention, having a flat pedal with “bite” was necessary! The BM 10 pedals, aka the “Foot Jaws” feature a cage wrapped with teeth that grab onto your sneakers for a premium grip. These iconic pedals are coming back for MKS day 2024 and are in stock at Blue Lug today. The US should be getting these in stock any day now as well!
When the Surly Cross-Check got discontinued last year, fans of the rim brake do-it-all bike were rightfully upset, yet over at Black Mountain Cycles, the Monstercross frameset picks up where the Cross-Check left off, with an arguably better geometry (with proper stack numbers!), 50mm tire clearance, and a stunning Pacenti PBP fork crown. What more do you need? These framesets are now available at Black Mountain Cycles ($875), so let’s check out more below.
When it comes to the world of dynamo lighting, one name reigns supreme: SON Nabendynamo. The German manufacturer has made the world’s best dynamo lighting for decades, and to celebrate its accomplishments, Japanese bike shop Blue Lug just announced an exclusive, limited edition purple SON hub ($388.80)–in quick release and SON 28 ($453.60) 12 mm thru-axle–to match the purple Edelux ii ($230.40) lamp.
These are in stock now but probably not for long. Roll on over to Blue Lug to see all the details!
If you missed out on Blue Lug’s Dead Bear spoke reflectors (even we weren’t fast enough to catch them!), fear not, as the Japanese boutique bike shop has teamed up with the Grateful Dead on a run of officially-licensed Grateful Dead cycling caps. While the Dead may be best known for its bootleg apparel sold at shows in the parking lot, the brand’s licensed products are something special. These beauts run $32.40 a piece and ship internationally via DHL direct from Blue Lug’s International Webshop.

This is a long story. It is a story of Blue Lug‘s influence on me, an interview with the co-founder, and hopefully it will lend some inspiration to American bike shops.
The photos you are seeing are of Blue Lug employee bikes that I shot one after another as we visited each location. We thought it would be cool to document the personal bikes of the build artists whose handiwork you see each day on the Blue Lug Instagram softcore porn for bike nerds.
We will begin with the story of my 650b leather and canvas activation as a lead in…

Chances are, you’ve seen Da Brim before. I know you have. Usually, it’s the cyclo-tourists on the Adventure Cycling Bicycle Route 66, or the TransAmerica Trail that wear these kooky devices.
Let’s be real, skin cancer is a very real threat and keeping your nose, ears, and neck protected from the relentless sun is only going to get more important in the coming years.
Our friends at Blue Lug know how to take a product like Da Brim and make it look cool, meshing safety with fashion.
What do you think? Excessive sunblock? Or a kooky (in a good way) sum brim?
