Straps Update

August 17 2010 posted by Jack

limited run pedal straps drop tomorrow

We’ve been getting some feedback lately on the newest premium pedal straps, the CHRONICS. It’s come to our attention that while many of you are stoked on the Gnar logo, there are those of you out there who want the premium Burro Pedal Strap but prefer a cleaner, simpler strap. We have heard your cries and tomorrow we’ll be releasing a limited number of a new Premium design. Which works because we’ve sold out of the CHRONICS anyway.

In light of this, we’ll be going back to the drawingboard with the CHRONIC Straps. They will be way more design and style-focused than the classic Premiums which will drop around the same time.

In the meantime, check back tomorrow evening for the new straps to become available. They are the same quality (even better actually) than the CHRONICS and look super-clean.

Keep It Wheel

guess we got us some printing to do!

So apparently Prolly found the good ol’ Keep It Wheel 2.0 image floating around Tumblr yesterday and wrote this post on it. Somehow, he didn’t know that the design is the second iteration of one of our oldest and most popular tees, designed and re-designed by our very own JOB. Guess we need to do a little better job of getting it out there. Unfortunately we haven’t been printing many t-shirts lately. We screen em all by hand, in case you didn’t know. But in light of this we’ll definitely be printing some more real soon and probably throwing it on a few more limited bags. I know we will have tank tops within the next couple of weeks and should have some regular tees soon as well. We’ll keep you posted. Accept no substitutes!

Video Break: Miles Mathia 3 Days in NYC

WRAHW edit with MM

Our boy Miles has to be one of the illest yet most unsung freestyle riders on the scene. Being from the sleepy college town of Gainesville, FL, he doesn’t get the same exposure as kids up in NYC or the West Coast but that details like that didn’t prevent him from taking a little trip up north (despite the rare temperature inversion) and hooking up with Torey of WRAHW to introduce himself to the world. Boy can’t stop, won’t stop. So without further ado, Team Burro’s Miles Mathia…

Bumstead Bicycles Prize Bag

July 26 2010 posted by Jack

cool prize bag

This past weekend our new buds at Bumstead Bicycles in Ontario, CA through this fried chicken-themed event. As we love taking care of our retail partners and supporting bike events of all types, we fried up this one-of-a-kind messenger for them. The pics are a little small but you get the idea.

I suppose I should take some time to outline our philosophy on sponsoring races and events. We love helping you guys out and expanding the awareness of our brand but there are some considerations we keep in mind when selecting what we want to sponsor. First off, if we do sponsor your event we will come through. Not with a sticker pack or a t-shirt but a product of some sort. Depending on the scope of your event, how well you publicize it, number of attendees and whether we simply like the idea or theme will affect whether you get something from stock or a custom one-off to commemorate the event. Honestly, we prefer doing the special bags but they aren’t cheap and they aren’t easy so the bigger your event and the more lead time you give us, the better the chances of getting something truly ill. We are still a small company struggling in these rough economic times so unfortunately we can’t help everybody so when you request Burro sponsorship be sure to give us your best pitch and let us know how sponsoring your event will help us in the end. I recommend you check out this Urban Velo article if you plan on soliciting sponsors for your next event. really good stuff.

Keep It Wheel!
