Gabe and I keep working on the Little Giant power hammer and all the other projects around the shop....
Well.....
Like normal I am out having fun while he keeps working , its summer time..... cut me a break.....
Downhill MTB champ Greg Minnaar decided to give us a quick tour of Santa Cruz bicycles the other day which was super rad, we all drove down from Oakland to go to hang out in Santa Cruz, CA for the weekend.
We got to meet the Syndicate Race team mechanic Doug, who was getting all Greg's race bikes ready for the next World Cup races overseas in a few days and we also got to see the rad research and development dept, where all the custom creatures are designed and built by the cool cats around the shop.
The next stop for us crew was New Belgium Beers Clips of Faith movie tour, which was raising money for a rad group with a cool idea in the Santa Cruz, CA area.
The non-profit project is called Santa Cruz Project Bike Trip, which in a nut shell, its a group dedicated to bringing bicycle mechanics and repair classes back to high schools. Its neat to see a big company like New Belgium getting with small groups with a good cause and get kids turning wrenches again...

This is the set up New Belgium brought to show the movie shorts for the night in the empty field.
Hundreds of people showed up to have a good time and drink beer.
Gabe and I decided if we had the Little Giant apart we needed to replace the clutch
So with the new upgrade clutch material we wrapped it.
The way to learn to rig and lift stuff is by doing so I make Gabe do it.
Gabe has a blast driving that forklift.
Here is front without the spring and nothing tight
The front isn't painted because it needs a guard welded
The guard protects you from the spring.
And thats the spring...
Don't want that blowing out hitting you in the face.
These hammers are known for springs blasting out if over hit.
SCARY!
OK OK....
This is just a teaser for what showed up on a pallet at MLS the other day.....
Just wait.....
