CHROMAG 2018


History // Chromag was started in 2003 by Ian Ritz in Whistler, BC. Ritz had been in the mountain bike industry for years and owned the renowned Evolution Bike shop at the time. He wanted to design bikes and components that would live up to the demanding riding conditions around Whistler. He designed a frame and had it built by a well known local bike builder. It was called the TRL and soon friends wanted one too. Those early adopters are the people who helped bring Chromag into existence. Saddles, stems and handlebars became the staple products that would go on to establish Chromag as a sought after brand. Design, functionality and creativity have always been cornerstones of Chromag products. The line now includes everything from complete bikes to chainrings, clamps, grips and pedals. There is also a comprehensive technical clothing line coming in 2018.

About Us // We like designing stuff ourselves. That’s how we started, by making the frames and parts we always wanted. It starts with our own personal use and extends to the community in one of the best testing environments in the world, here in the rugged Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. As we grow we are continually evolving and refining our designs and expanding our product offering. We make high quality and innovative bikes and components. We design relevant products with a heightened sense of detail and creativity for function, performance and beauty. Our design process starts with function and performance with an emphasis on durability and reliability, then extends to every detail we can think of including the final graphic and creative options for colour. All our bikes are built by hand, either in BC or by our skilled team of welders in Taiwan. Whether locally or abroad, Chromag frames are made using our own proprietary subcomponents and tube sets. Our custom geometry, CNC’d dropouts and junctions, custom tube sets and modern designs are what set our frames apart from the rest. We are a passionate group of mountain bikers who have chosen a lifestyle centred around mountain biking. We value quality products that are suitable for our style of riding, we are creative in our style and our sport, and we are committed to providing exceptional customer service. We welcome our customers into the Chromag Family. 22////

BA30

Introducing the BA30 and PHASE30 . A series of rims built with high quality features and innovations that set them apart from anything else available. The BA30 is a quality alloy rim designed to withstand a real beating. This is the rim for high-impact riding when the trails are rough and rugged. With an internal bracing structure, the BA30 has torsional stiffness for directional control in demanding circumstances. The BA30 features a thick bead wall adjacent the tire to resist impact deformation, with a wider, rounded top-edge to reduce sidewall cuts. The nipple/spoke bed is oriented to the spoke direction to reduce weakness caused by bend in the spoke at the nipple hole. The BA30 is made with premium alloy, extruded with an internal brace profile and carefully formed for consistent shape. It is then fusion welded and ground for a strong precise finish. Our fusion welding system leaves a perfect seamless joint that becomes the strongest section of the rim ensuring that your rim won’t split if you impact at the seam. Features: Premium extruded alloy Fusion welded seam-ground finish Internal bracing profile Tubeless ready Impact resistant design 27.5: 570g 29: 610g

PHASE30

The PHASE30 mirrors our BA30 profile but in a lighter format that suits all mountain and trail riding conditions. It is a high quality alloy rim that is tougher than most with added protection at the bead-walls for impact resistance and reduced sidewall cuts. The nipple/spoke bed is oriented to the spoke direction to reduce weakness caused by bend in the spoke at the nipple hole. The PHASE30 is made with premium alloy, extruded and carefully formed for consistent shape. It is then fusion welded and ground for a strong precise finish.
