How would I be able to tell if my Tree sprocket is US made? It's a lite Bolt drive I got a little over 2 years ago.

what was said above is true, but you can also email me a picture to info@treebicycleco.com and i can see if sam will have more insight into where/when it was made. we used quite a few usa manufacturers before taiwan did them.

You never went to Louisville ?!!?!?!?!?!!!?!?!!  For shame.

Shoot, I definitely have been there a few times. I must have been too stoked to specify that I was talking about a "street" fullpipe setup. Seriously just look at this thing! Best part is that it's out in an empty field by the river. You don't even need to hop a fence!!

From Instagram:



I got to ride my first fullpipe on a bike yesterday. It was almost too much fun.

Dialed in the fronts, then had a solo session riding a wooden jersey-barrier-ish shaped ramp. It was awesome.

Does anyone know if the internals on the new Federal V3 coaster are compatible with the solid 14mm axle that came with the ACB style KHE Reverse? Are there any modifications necessary to make it fit?

My hub shit the bed on friday, and I'm not too keen on those studded tranny axles everyone is doing on their coasters now.

Tree-Sport wheel set would be amazing.  I would do Ribcage to Tree hubs.  Could you imagine how fucking stiff that wheel would be?!?!!?!?!

This is my exact setup, and it is fucking sweeeeet!

Re-laced my newly re-built Reverse hub. It feels great to go fakie again.

You need to demand a Tree protocoaster & then show us all (well at least me)

I'd like to see this happen, too.

Trust me, I make it a point to annoy Sam on a daily basis about making a freecoaster. So if it does happen, I'll be sure that Bikeguide will get first dibs on any photos/info.

Just laced up my straight pull cassette since my coaster shit the bed a night ago. Having it blow out over the holidays makes ordering replacement parts a drag, so backpedaling will have to do for now.

Hell yeah Topsey!


I just scuffed up my brake pads and cleaned off my rims, then put the bike in the car for the chilly indoor session later tonight.

My native/tree seat is the most comfortable seat I've ever had.

agree 110%. james does a hell of a job on those things.

Today I shall be re-dialing my brakes, and adding some new goodies. I managed to tweak my back all weird last night, so this is my way of not being too bummed about missing a few sessions the next few days.

Man up and go for 36-11 or 36-12

Ha! If we had 36t bolt drive sprockets in stock (all Tree carries in house above 33t is spline drive only, and I'm currently on some Fly cranks) you could consider it done.
