>> HAMMER DON'T HURT EM.
Remember our infamous "hammer fork" video?
Atter abusing a carbon Niner fork with a ball peen hammer, we sent the very same component off to our testing facility and sent it through the same rigorous tests that our brand new forks undergo.
Niner forks are tested to the new European standards specifically designed for mountain bike use. To pass these safety standards the fork must undergo a load of 650 Newtons, both pushing and pulling on the dropouts for one hundred thousand cycles. Our hammer fork passed this test easily, so we kept going... and we upped the load. At 750 Newtons, the hammer fork passed another hundred thousand cycles, so we kept at it... and at it... In the end we were not able to get this fork to break until after three hundred thousand cycles! The Niner carbon fork tripled the most stringent bike product safety standard out there, after being beaten with a hammer! We would prefer that you didn't do this to your fork, but it is nice to know how tough these things really are.
Get your peace of mind by visiting your local Niner dealer. For more information on the carbon forks click here.

>>TRAIL FIESTA
We have a lot of great trails close to our headquarters in North Hollywood, CA. CORBA, the Concerned Off-Road Bicyclist Association, is one of the big supporters of these trail systems and as such we do what we can to support them.
Recenty, CORBA held their annual Fat Tire festival, and to help out, Frank from Niner, and many other local shops and companies, gave their Sunday morning to visit the event. With bikes in tow, Frank answered questions and show some love for one of our area's most fervent trail supporters.
There are a number of great crews like CORBA out there. For those in the Southern California area visit the CORBA website. We encourage everyone else to find their local trail advocacy group and support their support of the trails we ride and love. Check the IMBA site for more info on your local options.

>> ROLL: 3 LOCATIONS IN OHIO
roll: is one of a new brand of dealers on board with Niner. They have a very straightforward concept they have been able to polish to a high sheen. If you are in the area check them out. They are one of our many dealers helping to push the boundaries of bike shops and get more people out there riding.
"roll: was founded on a very simple idea. Riding a bike is fun, exciting, inspiring, and even life changing. Shopping for a bike isn't. We were left asking, how could something that inspires so much passion and enjoyment, be so complicated, confusing and difficult. We just didn't get it. So we set out with a clean sheet of paper, lots of questions starting with "why?" As well as a lot of ideas staring "what if?" Many late nights and light bulb ideas followed. From there we developed the core principles of roll: and founded our company on an unwavering approach to customer service that drives everything we do.
We wanted to find out from our customers why they ride not what they ride. Armed with much more revealing insights, we organized our store around the core ideas of roll:sport, roll:active and roll:family to make it easier for people to find their own path. We developed our roll:perfect fit system to make sure that everybody was comfortable and fit correctly on every bike we sell. We created an approach to ride wear that added an element of style for after the ride as well as performance for during the ride. Because I don't look very good in lycra. From there we added an absolutely unique collection of the best bikes, the best brands, the best accessories and the best apparel into the mix and roll: came to life.
Niner Bikes have been an obvious fit for us from the start. Same values, same vision, same passion shared. As a dedicated big wheel rider, it's great to be able to share the Niner love in the Mid-West as we create converts all over Ohio."

>> OUTSPOKIN BIKES, WOODSTOCK, GA
Out Spokin' Bicycles in Georgia has worked hard to make their shop the go to place for custom built bikes you can't get anywhere else. The guys have been around for only six years in the metro Atlanta area but have worked hard to build a following of dedicated cyclists.
"All the employees at Out Spokin' are serious cyclists, and all share passion for cycling in one form or another. From 365-day-a-year commuters, to fixie riders, road racers, cyclocross racers, and even one mechanic who is a nationally ranked professional mountain biker. Because of the staff's love of the sport, they enjoy seeing customers get on the bike of their dreams. "We're willing to build whatever our customers want," says Kevin Poske, store owner. "We have big bike brand options, but we have a passion for building a one-off bike for someone, something they can't get anywhere else... something custom. That's where Niner Bikes comes in. As a matter of fact, I just built up a new AIR 9 with a SRAM XX group last week. After a two day trip to Tsali (NC) this week, I can genuinely say that it's one of the Top 5 bikes in my collection."
The success we've seen with Niner Bikes has been phenomenal! We stock full size runs and multiple colors of most of the Niner hardtails, along with matching Niner carbon forks. The quality and craftsmanship showed by Niner is exceptional, and with the affordable retail prices of the frames, we have the ability as a small shop to keep a lot of product in stock and build a custom 29er for someone at a price they can afford. We also have one of the largest mountain bike demo fleets in the Southeastern United States. Putting Niners in the Out Spokin' Demo Fleet was one of the best moves we've made. Getting customers riding the bike on their favorite trails gives them a much better feel for the bike than a parking lot test ride."
