knob haha! Yeh I used to think eveything he made was badass too, it's not, here's a list of failed products (not to mention his old custom frames):
gland 1/2 (using a shoelace to hold on a hubguard???)
wombolts (up to v3 already)
elementry stem (v3 also, the first ones cracked or only fitted odyssey forks)
His new rachet hub (not cassette????), ok i'll give him that and the marmoset too and the rims as well.
But oh I forgot - Plegs haha!!!!
He also said he would never make 36 hole hubs.
Anyway yeh, he definately got a lot of BMXers through a difficult mid-school stage. But thats it, his products aren't any better than anyone elses.
I've never met him personally, he might be a gen up guy. From what I've been told though, he's weird.
Shimano made Biopace. Not everyone's perfect.
At least George French is always pushing the limits with bike design.
Most of this stuff was designed when BMX was all about jumping of the biggest building to flat. Homer hubs were the shit back then! I still have one!
