When you can’t even see a part, you might forget about it, but it doesn’t mean it’s not important.
Flat tires are probably the most common bicycle failures. Many times, flats are caused by the rims, specifically the lack of protection from the rims sharp edges. Good rim strips didn’t exist for BMX rims.
Our new high pressure rim strips work well and improve the function of any 20 inch rim. If you forget about them, that means they are doing their job.

Team Illingworth got 2nd place at this year’s Mongoose Jam but now the Viewer’s Choice award is up for grabs. Click HERE to give ’em a vote!
For Mongoose Jam 2017 Team Illingworth went beyond simply killing it on their bikes and they had some fun with their video by adding in a little skit. With Greg Illingworth’s speed and style, Van Homan’s legendary full throttle burly action, new-school tech wiz Murray Loubser, and camper Jack Seeley with some street steez, every obstacle at Woodward was open game. South African lensman Kevin Schnider nailed it with the camera work, making a unique video that is fun to watch.
We’re happy to announce that Ethan Corriere is now part of Gsport. Coming out of Huntington Beach, CA; Ethan is high energy, always smiling and undeniable on a bike. You can now catch him killing it on our rims.
