MTB Drops – New Jackson Goldstone edit, Chris King updates GripLock, and more

We’re back with just a few more drops to keep you stoked for the upcoming season. A new video from Jackson Goldstone, great deals from Revel Bikes and an Chris King headset for the DH crowd.

Jackson Goldstone – “Solo”

While his 9-to-5 is piloting his Syndicate V10 downhill bike down heinous tracks in pursuit of podium glory, Jackson Goldstone absolutely loves to get out on his local trails with his daily driver and have some fun.

Filmed this winter in British Columbia before the snow really fell, Jackson spent a couple days looking for the side hits and the bonus air miles on familiar trails.

The Warehouse Sale over at Revel Bikes continues, with just a few model left in limited sizes.

Probably the best deal of the sale? The lovely Tweedy DJ bike in raw steel at 50% off. A well-equipped $1250 bike, the frame alone sells for $969.

Chris King Precision Components Releases DropSet™ 6 Headset

In the 10 years since being awarded a patent for their GripLock® headset technology, Chris King has released headsets for a wide variety of bikes, from road and gravel to XC and trail. Now they are bringing this innovative tech to a new generation of downhill mountain bikes by adding the DropSet™ 6 to their headset line up. The DropSet™ 6 is a new fitment of the DropSet™ family, using IS41/IS41 bearings to fit the straight head tube and steer tube combinations found on many contemporary downhill bikes.

King’s GripLock® technology protects a fork’s steerer tube from excessive preload and protects the headset bearings from excessive shock load created when riding. The system uses two isolated wedges to separate headset bearing adjustment from steerer tube location. GripLock® solves the problem of loose headsets on long travel mountain bikes and also eliminates the chance of headset inflicted fatigue on the lightweight carbon steerer tubes found on modern road forks.
