New Deal giveaway

Sorry, we just forgot to mention who won the custom built New Deal bike during Interbike show. Yes, it was 2 months ago... Anyway, the winner is Joes Bike Shop in Lafayette, Colorado. Sidewall Distribution proudly offered them the bike. And Joes Bike Shop is a cool shop : bike was sold and money was donated all the money to the Mike Aitken Fund. Thanks Joe.

Germany/Austria/Switzerland distribution (by Med)















Even if Germany is not too far from Andorra (BMX Groupment country), I only meet Marc and Tobias from La Finca (our german distributor) in Interbike show, Las Vegas. I know, it's weird... We had a good talk together. The main point about this meeting is that La Finca now handles distribution for Germany + Austria + Switzerland. 1 good distributor for 3 countries. Marc, Tobias, have a good work in your countries.


Bien que l'Allemagne se situe relativement proche de l'Andorre (pays de BMX Groupment), ce n'est qu'à Interbike, Las Vegas, que je rencontre Marc et Tobias de La Finca, notre distributeur allemand. Je sais, c'est bizarre... Nous avons bien parlé ensemble. Le point le pus important de la réunion est qu'à partir de maintenant, La Finca distribue en Allemangne, en Autriche et en Suisse. 1 bon distributeur pour 3 pays. Marc, Tobias travaillez bien dans vos pays.

Interbike 08





























Interbike 2008 show, Las vegas (by Med).

  • One more year, one more Interbike show. Some guys in the business might think it is boring. I don't. Travelling around the world is always a chance. Not everyone can do that.Well, Sidewall Distribution is displaying the new 2009 Superstar stuff during the show, a good opportunity to see how people react on our work. We'll tell you more about these new products soon. Sidewall Distribution is also giving away a complete bike with Superstar New Deal frame and Superstar U-brake. Thanks guys, that's a good promotion.

  • Une année de plus, un salon Interbike de plus. Certains s'en plaignent. Pas moi. Voyager autour du monde reste une chance. Tout le monde n'en a pas la possibilité. Bien, Sidewall Distribution expose tous les produits Superstar 2009 sur ce salon. C'est l'occasion de voir comment les gens réagissent à notre travail. Nous vous parlerons plus de ces produits bientôt. Sidewall Distribution organisait un tirage au sort pour gagner un vélo complet monté avec un cadre Superstar New Deal et un U-brake Superstar. Merci les gars, ça fait de la bonne promotion.

New USA distribution for Superstar.














Things changed in the USA for Superstar. A new distributor handles Superstar from today : Sidewall Distribution. After 3 years of good work for us, Greasy Comb Distribution decided to stop its distribution business to focus on brand management/development. The switch from Greasy Comb to Sidewall had been very fast. And now everyone seems happy of his new situation. Sidewall showed high interest in Superstar products, which is a positive point for our future development in the USA.
I say a warm thanks to Dave and Chistine Wootten, Dave Davenport and anyone else who helped Superstar at GCD.
I say a warm welcome to Mark Owen and friends at Sidewall Distribution. We have long years ahead of us to work in a good harmony for riders satisfaction.

Update about the stolen bikes



Anto just send me a message with a really good new, he just got his bike (along with Thomas’s one) back. They were walking on Thomas’s street on saturday night and found some girls cruising on the bikes. Weird. After some polite negociations they let them pick up the bikes. We just want to say thanks to everyone who posted the news on websites and forums, your help was greatly appreciated.



Anto vient juste de m’envoyer par message une très bonne nouvelle, les vélos volés sont retrouvés. Samedi soir en marchant dans la rue de Thomas ils ont croisés des filles roulant sur leurs vélos… Etrange situation! Après quelques négociations ils ont donc pu les récupérer.
Nous voulons remercier tous ceux qui ont fait circulés l’information en la postant sur les sites et forums. Votre aide fut grandement appréciée.

Bikes full of samples parts stolen!!!

Antony and his friend Thomas got there bikes stolen this weekend. It is a really bad new for us because these bikes were full of samples parts, like hubs, brakeless rims and some revised Revolte stems that are way much lighter than the current ones.


If you have any infos about these bikes, please contact us. Check the photos of the bikes and the parts list.





Antony et thomas se sont fait volés leurs vélos ce weekend.

Chainsaw lines on Sweet Sweep bars

From now, Sweet Sweep handlebars come with 3 cutting lines on both sides. No more chainsaw-style end on your bars. These lines are actually usefull when using threaded bar ends. A straight cut will not damage the thread inside the tube. Remember that Sweet Sweep bars have a sweet 13° backsweep and 4° upsweep. 3 sizes : 7.35", 7,85" and 8.15". Threaded bar ends exist in alloy and synthetic material.



A partir de désormais, les guidons Sweet Sweeps ont 3 lignes de coupe de chaque coté. Finies les découpes à la tronçonneuse. Ces lignes sont particulièrement utiles si vous utilisez les embouts filetés. Une coupe droite n'endommage pas le taraudage dans le tube. Rappel : les Sweet Sweep se caractérisent par un backsweep de 13° et un upsweep de 4°. 3 tailles : 7,35", 7,85" et 8,15". Les embouts filetés existent en aluminium et en matériau synthétique.



Thanks to Hellride, Superstar russian distributor for the picture.

Do the test : sure you loose

(posted by Med)








I've always thought that UK is ahead of Europe on many subjects. The city of London prooves it on more time.
Look at that video : www.dothetest.co.uk . It is just a simple test. I tried, I lost. My wife Nadège tried, she lost. Bart de Jong from FatBMX tried, he lost (Thanks for the link Bart). Try it, sure, you'll loose too. I have a big respect for the people who got the idea of this video. That's perfect to explain the problem.



J'ai toujours pensé que le Royaume-Uni était en avance sur l'Europe continentale sur bien des sujets. La municipalité de Londres vient d'en donner une preuve supplémentaire.
Regardez cette video : www.dothetest.co.uk. Il s'agit d'un test simple. J'ai testé, j'ai perdu. Mon épouse Nadège a testé, elle a perdu. Bart de Jong de FatBMX a testé, il a perdu (Merci, Bart, pour ce lien). Essayez, vous allez perdre vous aussi. J'éprouve une grande admiration pour les gens qui ont eu cette idée. Elle est parfaite pour expliquer le problème.

Superstar hubs









One year ago, we started working on our own hubs. It's time to show you the first samples. We don't know where these ones will be available. We designed most parts of these hubs. Axles are female using heat treated cromoly. The driver spins on a bushing bearing. These hubs are lighter than most of existing female hubs (including those with aluminium axles).


Team riders and friends are currently testing the first samples. Check Anto Lille's bikecheck for more photos (february 15th). Other bikechecks with these hubs are on the way.





Cela fait un que nous avons commencé à travailler sur nos propres moyeux. Il est temps de vous montrer les premiers protos. Nous ne savons pas encore lorsqu'ils sortiront. Nous avons dessiné la plupart des pièces de ces moyeux. Les axes sont femelles, en cr-mo traité. Le driver tourne sur un palier lisse synthétique. Ils sont plus légers les que la majorité des moyeux à axes femelles existant actuellement (y compris ceux avec axe alu).


Riders et amis testent les protos. Regardez le bikecheck d'Anto Lille pour plus de photos (en date du 15 février). D'autres bikechecks avec ces moyeux sont en chemin!

Soul 53




I haven't seen it yet since i'm in Barcelona, but the Soul53 is out, and Antony and i have a mixpart featured in the dvd. I edited this part with some unused clips from the last year. So try to grab a copy! Hope you will like it!





Je n'ai pas pu mettre la main dessus comme nous sommes actuellement a Barcelone, mais le Soul 53 est disponible avec une part Superstar à l'intérieur! J'ai monté cette part avec des clips inutilisés d'Antony et moi filmés l'année dernière. Essayez de vous procurer un exemplaire!

Back from Taiwan by MED








I am on the way back from another Taiwan trip for production control. Everything looks fine on the parts and frames for this batch of 2008 products. Coming Chinese New Year creates a little delay so, within 3 weeks, orders will be shipped to our kind distributors.


Je suis sur le chemin du retour d'un autre voyage à Taiwan pour un contrôle de la production. Tout semble en ordre pour les pièces et les cadres de cette 2e vague de produits 2008. L'arrivée proche du Nouvel An Chinois décalle un peu les expéditions vers les distributeurs. D'ici à 3 semaines, les bateau prendront le large.
