Red Your Dead Conflict

Yet another RYD post. RYD just posted pics of their new Conflict Trick frame which looks to have big tire clearance, and maybe negative bb? I like how its not drilled for brakes, which IMO, makes it look cleaner but I know theres still plenty of people who want to run brakes. The welds look clean and the frame and fork really compliment each other. There are several things that I dislike though. For one, they are still using euro bb which allows people to still use track cranks, but mid bb is stronger and track cranks are useless. Through all the track cranks I've rounded out, I understand that bmx cranks are a necessity. Next, I think the stickers look cheap. This may just be looks but I wouldn't want a frame with a logo that made it look like I bought it at Wal-Mart. Other than that, it looks like a solid frame and I can't wait to see it built up.

Red Your Dead V2 Forks

Red Your Dead just posted their v2 Havoc Forks and I must say, these are definitely a step up from the original. The 28 rake will give you mad clearance and it can fit a 50c which is amazing for people who are still a part of the 700c army. The peg cutout also seems like a neccesity nowadays with all of these 14mm hubs and negative bb drop frames in the works. Lastly, the original fork was known for being extremely heavy so lets hope that this one lost some weight.
