HANDLEBARS - TECH OVERVIEW XGT bars are designed to offer the most comfortable ride possible with alloy, without excessive flex. They have a consistent gradual taper from the center clamping zone to the barends, improving dissipation of energy within the inner core. XGT bars are available in 5/20/40mm rises.

Additional processes are added to improve on the uniform cylindrical nature of the clamp zone (improving bar fatigue life), and work harden this critical area. SPANK Handlebars are constructed of MGR alloys, meaning whether you have a Zirconium Doped Alloy, Super-6 Alloy, or 6-Series Alloy bar, it received special multi-step drawing processes to reduce grain size and improve on grain orientation. Dual XGT’s butting to the extreme degree! Dual bars are tapered from center to bends, then thicken through the bends, taper again to the control mount area, and finally thicken again at the “Impact Ends”. DUAL XGT bars are available in 5/15/30/50mm rises. SPANK’s “Impact Ends” are reinforced to protect against damage from crashes or lock-on barends and grips

CNC Bending is unique to SPANK Handlebars, and means both improved consistency and the elimination of heavy grinding steps that create thin spots in crucial zones

Cutting lines allow users to customize length by up to 40mm

HANDLEBARS OohBah RIM --TECH TECHOVERVIEW OVERVIEW

SPOKE BEDS: Spank’s patented OohBah™ Profiles include our “360º Orbital Nipple Seats” which when combined with our advanced alloys result in much higher pull through strengths than competitors with soft malleable eyelets.

SPANK hoops are constructed of MGR processed alloys, further strengthening the Dynamal or Super-6 alloys by reducing grain size and improving on grain orientation. All 2011 EVO Rim profiles have been updated to further reduce weights & flange heights improving resistance to dents & dings.

JOINTS: Spank employs welded, sleeved and pinned joint technologies depending on intended discipline. Welded-ultimate light weight Sleeved-ultimate strength to weight ratio Pinned-economic bombproof alternative The “wave” shape of the inner tube well wall acts like corrugated steel roofing to strengthen the profile and support the vertical rim flanges.

Patented

SPANK’s patented Double Beadnip system ensures the tire bead cannot slip upward or inward. This means the rider can run lower air pressures with drastically reduced fear of pinch flats.

Oohbah convex tube wells, when combined with concave outer walls create a new “hoop strength” in the sectional profile, and allow the rim to approach a toroidal shape, lending massive rigidity to the rim in all directions.

Spank Industries - Tech Icon Explanations

Dual XGT - “Dual Extreme Gradual Taper” technology is a proprietary tube drawing process, afforded by Spank's secret state of the art tooling. Dual XGT technology tapers our bars from the thickest area at the bar clamping zone, slowly and GRADUALLY through the bend zones, to the thinnest areas at the control zones...AND...back to thicker reinforced barend zones, or "Impact Ends". Tapers that occur over too short a distance, or with defined start/end points, create isolated stress zones where breaks occur. We have utilized FEA (Finite Element Analysis), laboratory and rigorous real world testing to optimize the spread of material to where it is needed to withstand the specific forces at work in each zone, while offering better protection against crashes than ever before! The extreme precision enabled by Dual XGT drawing processes also eliminates the need for heavy hand grinding, with can result in imperfections and inconsistency in wall thickness, weakening bars.

3D CNC Bending - Spank went the extra mile by investing in automated Three Dimensional CNC bending machines, which offer better consistency, and even more importantly limit material structural damage during the bending process. Damage caused to competitors bars in traditional harsh bending processes is difficult to measure or detect, leaving the rider at risk.The precision of 3D CNC Bending allows us the optimize further our designs, where others must overbuild with buffer material. Spank has also taken extra steps to ensure the stem clamping area of the bar is uniformly cylindrical and true. This bar-stem interface is critical to improved fatigue life, and ability to withstand extreme loads.

XGT - Spank's XGT or "Extreme Gradual Taper" bars were designed to taper GRADUALLY and CONTINUOUSLY from reinforced wall thicknesses at the stem clamping zone, all the way to the barends. This allows energy to dissipate over a consistent and gradual tapering within the inner core, leading to improved strength, and better dampening of hard hits and chatter. To the rider, this means enhanced control and less pain! Similarly to our Dual XGT technology, extreme precision in the drawing process, allows us to optimize weights, and reduce the need for heavy hand grinding.

Oohbah (Patented) Rim Profiles - The most important features of any rim are rigidity and weight. Rigidity or stiffness means more of your energy is transferred into drive force, (rather than flex) and acceleration/cornering/braking performance is improved. Reducing rolling weight in your wheels, more so than any other part on your bike, can dramatically reduce the energy needed to propel it forward. Take a look at a cross section of any given rim on the market. You'll see that both the outer and inner walls are concave. Now check out a Spank rim. Our unique patented Oohbah™ profile with inverted tube well, increases rigidity immensely compared with rims currently available. The combination of a concave outer wall with a convex inner tube well, results in the addition of a new, never before seen “hoop strength” in the sectional profile, which lends massive strength and stiffness to the rim as a

whole, and places the center of inertia in the optimum possition nearer the center of the profile. Furthermore the “wave” shape of the Oohbah inner tube well acts like corrugated steel roofing to add strength and support to the vertical rim flange walls and prevent buckling. Normal straight or curved tube wells must be much thicker to offer the same support. The increased strength and rigidity offered by our Oohbah™ profile affords us the opportunity to optimize wall thicknesses and material transitions, drastically reducing weight…AND…allows us to offer rims with greater widths, at much lower weights than our competitors. Wider rims mean stiffer wheels and more tire spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort.

MGR - Micro or Mechanical Grain Refinement, refers to mechanical processes which optimize the reduction and consistency of a given alloy's grain size and structure. All alloys are cast during alloying. Some are worked using high strain processes such as forging or extrusion, which strengthen material by reducing the grain size. New technologies employed at Spank Industries, have been developed to incorporate high strain and low reduction, while extruding alloys in multiple steps. These special processes allow significant further reduction of grain sizes as well as improved grain orientations, when compared to normal forging or extrusion. The result is increased ultimate strength, toughness, and ductility. When paired with recent advancements in alloy compositions, MGR alloys improve on components' yeild ability to resist denting and deformation, while retaining their absolute strength and hardness. MGR material refinement has now been employed in the production of Spank rims, bars, and stems.

Double Beadnip ™ - Another secret of Spank's patented Oobah profile, is our double Beadnip™. Traditional rim designs include only one set, called the bead hooks on the vertical walls or rim flanges. The addition of a second set of “nips” on the inner tube well ensures the tire always remains in the bead-seat, even when riding at minimal tire pressures. Without it, on conventional rim designs the bead can slip inwards, leading to snake bites (pinch flats). With Spank’s Oohbah patented rims, you can ride the tires you want, at the pressure you want, on any terrain…with far less fear of flats!

Fratelli Industries - Spank has partnered with the state of the art Fratelli Industries Rim Production Facility. The unique ability to drive material, tooling and process, and product development in-house, has afforded us the opportunity to leap years ahead of the competition from a technical standpoint. o *Proprietary alloys o *Micro Grain Refinement Process capabilities o *Highest precision extrusion o *Proprietary rim forming tooling and technologies o *Advanced virtual testing and analysis o *Industry leading empirical testing practices

Spank Industries Material Technologies New advancements in alloy chemical compositions have been changing the way we look at aluminum. 6-series alloys, or magnesium-silicon laced aluminum, have long been known for their tremendous formability properties, fatigue life, and resistance to corrosion, and have taken an important role in the production of complex bicycle components. However, commonly used members of this group such as 6005 and 6061 aluminum, suffer from relatively low ultimate tensile strength and yield values, and are not ideal for all applications, especially highly weight optimized rims. Spank enlisted industry experts and metallurgy researchers from around the world, and invested heavily in an in-house rim development and production facility, in a quest to isolate the perfect blend for each specific application.

â&#x2014;?

"Dynamal" is a new, rare, virgin alloy composition. Unlike standard recycled alloy mixes, Dynamal is a dynamically aged highly magnesium-silicon enriched, pure alloy. Compared to statically aged traditional alloy types, Dynamal shows a significant further increase in ultimate tensile strength and yield, without the normal reductions in fatigue life. Imported and rare in our industry, Dynamal is used in the production of our race inspired VoMax and Spike rim lines. It offers unparalleled rigidity in rims and a never before seen resistance to permanent deformation.

â&#x2014;? "Super-6" Aluminum is a specially blended, highly magnesium-silicon enriched, work hardened alloy. Super-6 offers the perfect mix of hardness, yield, fatigue life, and a superior ultimate tensile strength to standard 6 series alloys. It is ideal for the creation of thin walled, super stiff rims. Through recent adoption of Super-6 materials, Spank's Oozy, Subrosa, Tweet Tweet, and Stiffy rim lines are now stronger, and show greater resistance to deformation than ever before! â&#x2014;? Zirconium Doped Alloys are special 7-series alloys which offer extremely high hardness and strength. Spank has found the ideal Zirconium doped 7-series blend for specific stems and handlebars which require very low weights and high ultimate strength. Zirconium doped 7-series alloys are denser than other alloys used in the bike industry, thus heavier, but allow thinner wall thicknesses and less buffer material, and thus can create lighter parts if used carefully in conjunction with finite element analysis and rigorous lab testing. It is interesting to note that many companies will always label their most expensive parts as 7-series alloy (7050 or 7075). However, this material is not ideal for all applications, and may actually be the wrong material for components like highly weight optimized rims.

Traction/Stiffness/Weight Coefficient Chart *The Traction/Stiffness/Weight Coefficient of any given rim is a simple index that can be created by dividing the weight of the rim by the inner width of the rim. Normally the lower the Traction/Stiffness/Weight Coefficient the better the performance of the rim. An index of rougly 20-21 indicates a rim that has been highly optimized for weight and performance.

*Most manufacturers will list the outer width of the rim, but it is the inner width (from beadnip to beadnip) which actually controls the spread of the tire, and thus is used to calculate this index. This dimension is normally shown as ETRTO and describes the diameter of the rim x inner width of the rim. For the purpose of this index calculation, rim diameters have been excluded. *Wider rims increase stiffness and tire-spread. Improved stiffness results in better performance, responsiveness, and toughness.Greater tire spread leads to increased traction, and allows use at lower air pressures, improving comfort. *Of course other variables such as material type, and cost must be considered to gauge the Value and Toughness of the rim against its Traction/Stiffness/Weight Coefficient. For example the DT Swiss XRC300 Carbon rim scores an incredible 18.2, but at $737 MSRP it is considerably more expensive than other rims in this comparison. Also, carbon maybe light, but will not show the same toughness at alloys in rim applications.

Spank Industries FAQ How do I choose which level of Spank parts is right for my riding style? – Spank uses this convenient diagram to show the disciplines that we had in mind when we designed our components. All Spank products were designed with safety first, so it is possible to go outside of these recommendations depending on your size, weight, and riding style. However, no matter how well our products do in reviews and testing, we don’t recommend that products designed for XC or Trail riding are used for applications like big-hit freeride or DH. Here is a quick breakdown of our recommendations.

o VoMax – “Pure XC Race” – the lightest parts in our range, designed for XC race applications,

touring, and trail riding. If you are a looking to shave those last few grams from your race machine, or riding long hours uphill, and you don’t often hit the big jumps and drops on the way down, then the VoMax line is made for you. Vomax rims’ strength to weight ratio and tire retention at this weight can’t be beat, making them the perfect choice for racers and touring riders who don’t want to give up confidence to achieve the lightest complete builds possible.

o Oozy – “The Perfect All Mountain or Aggressive XC Solution” – the Oozy line was designed to

offer all the strength and stiffness needed for aggressive trail and all mountain use, while remaining lighter than many of our competitors’ strictly XC components. Oozy is meant to offer you the confidence to push your limits both on the way up and on the way down your favorite trail, without the risk of walking your steed home. If you are equally at home on long grueling climbs, and fast, rough descents, then the Oozy was made for you.

o Subrosa - “The Definition of All-Round Performance - Strong enough for Freeride or DH, Still

Light Enough for All Mountain and DJ Applications” – Spank’s Subrosa line remains our most versatile and popular collection of components. Subrosa parts were designed to enhance your experience in any aggressive riding application and take just about anything you can throw at them. A Subrosa rider might start their day with a long climb to the trail head, a rough descent with scattered drops and jumps back down to town, and then finish with a trip to the local jump spot to practice some new stunts. For riders that want to push the limits but don’t necessarily like the weights normally involved with Freeride or DH components, or riders who want one bike spec that can do it all, we give you Subrosa. Subrosa was not designed for the everyday DH rider, but you will see Subrosa parts on World Cup DH/4X/DS bikes around the world! Although we recommend our DH or Big Hit Freeride lines for those of you who really dish out the punishment, if you are an extremely weight conscious rider, who still wants to go big…then Subrosa is the way to go.

o Spike - “Fully Weight Optimized - DH Race Ready” – Spank approached our Spike line with one thing in mind…making the best possible race ready DH products on Earth. Every part in the Spike line has been optimized to levels never before seen. To achieve such remarkable weights on DH parts, Spank had to turn to new age alloys, and special micro-grain-refinement production processes, combined with finite element analysis testing during the design phases.

Aside from weight, we worked closely with our pro-riders to offer designs that enhance rider positioning and handling performance. Long gone are the days of point and shoot DH rigs that handle like a truck unless pointed down a vertical wall. If you are a racer looking for absolute confidence in your parts, but still hate the weights involved with the average DH/FR gear out there, or you are a heavy or exceptionally rough rider who doesn’t always trust All Mountain offerings…try Spike, you won’t turn back.

Stiffy - “The Ultimate Extreme Freeride and Big Hit Gear” – Not many bike brands make gear with people like Josh Bender in mind. But, there are people out there who dream of pushing their bodies and bikes to the limits and beyond. For them Spank offers our Stiffy line of components. There are no better products on Earth for extreme Freeride or Big-Hit applications. 40mm rims offer the ultimate in stiffness and tire spread/traction for the most challenging of terrain and strength that cannot be compared, and the Stiffy line of handlebars offer insane stiffness and strength at reasonable weights. If you are more concerned about landing that 50 footer and riding away with a smile on your face than how long it takes you to ride back to the trail head, then we recommend Stiffy. Just be warned, they may be with you for the rest of your life!

o Tweet Tweet – “Up, Up, and Away” – Spank has earned a spot in the hearts of dirt/urban/park pilots world wide with our legendary Tweet Tweet line of components. Every part in the Tweet line was designed for one specific purpose…flying high and looking good doing it! Tweet Tweet components are highly weight optimized, meaning finally there are options out there for jumpers who don’t want to be “weighed down” with heavy freeride gear but refuse to take risks with lighter parts meant for life on the ground. We use high end alloys, and intensive testing to make sure that Tweet components can take the daily abuse of urban/park/dirt applications, but still build up bikes that flip, whip and spin with ease. Profiles and dimensions were painstakingly perfected for freestyle. Wanna fly Billy? Tweet Tweet was built for you.

o Spoon – Spank’s newest line “Spoon”, fills a gap in our Gravity Gear lines. The Spoon frame

(one2one), and all the Spoon components were designed to meet the needs of dirt jumpers and DH riders, who demand quality, dependability, AND reasonable prices. We have put our investments into making the Spoon line bombproof. Although not as light or highly detailed as the Tweet line for DJ or the Spike line for DH, Spoon offers the same confidence to riders at a reduced price. Graphics and finishes have been chosen to reflect the wishes of “Core” riders world wide, down-toned, minimal, and tough. The Spoon rims and wheels are equally at home on the DH course and in the skate-park or jumps. Need top end gear without the top end price… we give you Spoon.

How do I know if a Spank rim is an EVO or non-EVO version? – On all the EVO rims there are two distinguishing points you can see easily. First is the EVO tattoo, which is located directly across from the valve hole. The second mark is a material indicator decal which will read “Dynamal” (on Vomax and Spike rims), or “Super-6” (on Subrosa, Oozy, and Stiffy rims). It is important that when you buy a set of Spank rims, you check the dimensions for your wheel build. There are some important differences in profiles, which will affect your spoke lengths.

Are Spank rims pinned, welded, or sleeved? – There are 3 types of Spank rim joints, which are selected to achieve the perfect rim for specific applications. o Spank’s “Pure XC Race Inspired” VoMax rims are flashwelded, which allows us to approach the absolute lowest possible weight, while remaining stronger than the competitors’ ultra-light XC hoops due to our choice of new era Dynamal Alloy, and the employment of Micro-Grain-Refinement Processing. o Spike EVO, Stiffy EVO, Subrosa EVO, Oozy EVO, and Tweet Tweet rims are sleeved. This is a process of joining the two ends of a hoop with an extremely precise light weight sleeve, which fits inside the rim profile. Sleeved joints offer the best possible strength to

weight ratio, meaning our multi-disciplinary rims remain bomb-proof, while still being much lighter than traditional pinned joint rims. Because sleeved rims are not subjected to the high temperatures of welding, they do not require a precise second heat treatment process after welding and offer better consistency in ultimate strength. Tweet Tweet EVO, and Spoon Rims are created with pinned joints, which offer the rider a great balance between cost and strength. Pinned joints are very dependable, although a little heavier than welded or sleeved, and mean riders can achieve quality wheel builds without big ticket prices.

Why doesn’t Spank use eyelets on Spank Rims? – Soft, malleable, alloy eyelets go against Spank’s Oohbah rim philosophy for several reasons. Eyelets normally rely on isolated points of contact with the nipple. This means specific “point-load” zones are created, which put immense pressure on small points, and can lead to deformation of the eyelets. Eyelets are usually softer than the rims to allow this, but soft eyelets can eventually crack or pull through the rim itself! Another annoying problem with rims assembled from more than 30 separate parts, is eyelets can come loose as they deform, and rattle, buzz, or even cut short the life of a perfectly good hoop. The combination of Spank’s patented Oohbah profile, and our investment into precision machining of the spoke beds on our rims, results in what we call “Orbital Nipple Seats”. By tightly matching the radius of the inside wall of the nipple seat to the inner radius of the hoop itself, then machining out the spoke holes at the perfect angles, Spank has created nipple seats that allow 360° of contact between the nipple and the rim. This distributes the load from the spokes evenly, vastly reducing the chance of pulling a nipple through the rim or eyelet. So, if we can create rims with stronger nipple seats, lower weights, and just two parts instead of 34…a better question might be “Why are other companies still using eyelets?”

What has changed on the new EVO rims? – Spank’s new EVO rim line is an EVOlution in rim technology! We have built on our legendary Oohbah patented profiles to now offer the strongest and lightest rims in their price ranges! o First, and perhaps most importantly, Spank has invested into a state of the art rim development and production facility, Fratelli Industries. This allowed us to develop new tooling, and production processes, and work with materials that were formerly not available in traditional rim factories. o Through our tireless efforts, Spank isolated the perfect alloy for each specific EVO rim application. For our race inspired Vomax EVO and Spike EVO rims, we have adopted the new era alloy Dynamal. For our multi-disciplinary Stiffy EVO, Subrosa EVO, and Oozy EVO rims, we have found that Super-6 alloy is the ideal blend. With these materials Spank was able to reduce weights by 5-15% across the board, increase rigidity and strength by up to 20%, and improve our yield/elongation by up to 45%, meaning lighter, stronger rims with better resistance to permanent deformation than ever thought possible. You can learn more about these materials in our technical information section of this website at this link. o All Spank rims are created by our own tooling, meaning you will never see the same profile on one of our competitor’s hoops or from an open model OEM producer. Years of experience with our patented Oohbah profile tooling, mixed with improvements resulting from new materials, meant we have been able to further optimize wall thicknesses and transitions, further reducing weights! Since the profiles of the EVO rims have been trimmed and modernized, please be careful to always take dimensional spec information from only EVO rim charts before ordering spokes for your wheel build. o Another advantage of Spank’s new EVO rim line is the incorporation of our proprietary MGR (micro-grain-refinement) processes into production. By adding additional work steps to our manufacturing processes, Spank dynamically ages and work hardens the base material. By doing so, we are also able to create rims (and handlebars), with more consistent, smaller grain structures. The smaller and more consistent the grain size of any given material, the stronger the final product! o Finally we have topped off the new EVO lines with new graphics and an EVO tattoo, located directly across from the valve hole.

What’s Oohbah and how does it improve the performance of my wheels and bike? Spank’s Oohbah patent is pretty simple as a concept, but took years of tooling experiments and various iterations on design to accomplish. The idea is this; a very important type of the strength in a rim is called “hoop strength”. Hoop strength is easy to understand. A circle, as a shape is very strong. If you took a long straight section of a rim’s thin extruded aluminum material, it would offer little resistance to bending. That same material, when bent into a hoop, can withstand much greater forces without deformation. If you cut out a sectional profile of any rim, you will find there are two horizontal walls creating a chamber, an outer wall of material, and an inner wall of material (the tube well). On any traditional rim, both of these walls are concave. Meaning they both curve inward like a bowl. Note: It’s easy to find sectional profile drawings on any rim maker’s website. Now, take a look at the Oohbah profile on the attached photo. The inner wall is curved outward, or it is convex. This is very important. The effect of one concave wall and one convex wall create a second feature of “hoop strength” in the sectional profile. In essence this allows the rim to approach a toroidal shape, which has the lowest mass and highest stiffness on all planes. This adds immense additional rigidity to the rim as a whole. It creates a positive force of resistance to deformation of the rims straightness and sidewalls (vertical walls), as well as lending further stiffness to the rim, (which improves performance). Think of it this way…If you take an egg, and apply equal force to two sides, it is remarkably strong. Now, if you took two haves of the same shell, and put them together, both in the same direction, they could withstand very little force without caving in. The incredible stiffness and strength that results allows us to reduce the thickness of the material, reducing weight. It is also worth noting that the “wave” shape of the inner tube well wall on an Oohbah rim, is also far stronger than an traditional design flat or curved wall. A great analogy to explain this is corrugated steel roofing, which can easily support your weight if you walk across a roof. Flat sheet metal of the same thickness would buckle and fail immediately under the same force. On other rims, as the curved tube well bends downward under pressure, it pulls the sidewalls inward causing them to fail and eventually collapse. Oohbah tube wells stay stable and support the side walls, maintaining the form of the rim. Having a lighter, stronger design affords us a really cool opportunity. It allows us to create wider rims than anyone else at equal or lower weights. The wider a rim’s material, the more rigid the hoop is. Rigidity means less of your energy goes into flex, and more to the ground and your cornering and braking performance are improved. Wider rims also mean greater “tire spread”, meaning more of your tire’s treads are in contact with the ground, and your “traction” or grip on the ground improves. So, wide rims equal better stiffness and traction. If you look at any of our competitors’ rims, compare weights to find similar models, and then compare widths, ours are usually 5 mm or more wider, (and often still lighter). The second major feature is the addition of a second set of “beadnips”, on the inner wall of the rim. Beadnips hold the tire’s bead in place (the bead-seat) when you are riding. Almost all rims have one on each side of the rim, at the top of the vertical walls. They keep the tire’s bead from slipping upward and coming off the rim. That is very important. However, there is a second type of flat that called snake bites, or pinch flats. This is when the bead of the tire slips inward, out of the bead-seat, toward the center of the rim. Then the sidewall of the tire collapses, and the tube is pinched, creating two holes (top and bottom of tube), and a flat tire. We have added a second set of beadnips, on the inside of the bead-seat. This keeps the tire in the correct position, even when riding at very low air pressures. Anyone who rides will understand that sometimes, especially on rough and loose terrain, that lower tire pressures improve traction and comfort. With other rims, when you lower your air pressure you run a high risk of pinch flats. Spank rims can run much lower air pressures with significantly reduced fear of flats! That’s Oobah!”

Why did my spokes loosen after my first ride? – Spank Oohbah profile rims are designed for ultimate stiffness. In fact, the profile and advanced materials incorporated into our rims make them so stiff, that after your first good ride your spokes will often stretch, making them feel a little loose. This is normal and does not normally affect trueness. With competitors’ rims, the rim itself, or soft malleable eyelets often deform slightly under initial forces before the spokes and this effect may not be noticed by the rider as the spokes feel tight. New wheels should be tuned, then stressed, and finally retuned to the exact desired torque, locking in that trueness and desired feel. Once achieved, most riders report they can run Spank wheels for years without truing! Note: We always suggest that spoke prep is used in every Spank Wheel build to improve on the build quality and torque retention.

What do I do if I dented my Spank rim? – Don’t worry! Spank rims were designed with safety and finishing your ride/race as primary points of focus. Spank rims almost never bend or “taco”, meaning even under extreme punishment like direct hits that compress the tire and result in direct contact with the rim, normally our rims will at worst dent on the vertical flange. Although we understand that everyone likes a pretty bike, and dents don’t look good, they are in fact a blessing. Traditional rim designs fold over under far less pressure or crack when struck directly, and thus leave you stranded or worse. Spank rims, with our patented Oohbah profiles, provide far more support to the vertical rim flange walls of the rim, and even after a severe hit that causes a dent, usually still hold the tire in place, rarely bending to the point that you can’t finish your run. Additionally, Spank rims are constructed of some of the best alloys available on the planet. This means that they can accept a little “reworking” if done carefully. When many other rims get quite brittle to achieve the hardness required, and would crack if you tried to bend out a dent, Spank rims readily accept a little manipulation. We do not warranty against damage caused by attempts to rework a rim, but if you have a dent and want to try, you can attempt the following. Protect the rim from damage caused by pliers with a section of old inner tube or a strong fabric. Grasp the rim firmly at the dented area with pliers and slowly, in baby steps, bend the dented area back slightly. You don’t need to get it perfect. The double bead nips and strong bead hook on our rims enhance tire retention, and will allow you to run a dented rim for years without risk!

Can I cut my Dual XGT handlebar? – Dual XGT handlebars are created with “Impact Ends”, which are reinforced, thickened barend zones on the bar. On our Dual XGT bars, Spank has marked the allowable cutting zones with convenient cut-lines. It is possible to cut roughly 20mm from each end without compromising the function of the “Impact Ends”, or voiding warranty. This means a Spike 777 EVO bar (for example) can be cut from 777 mm to a minimum of 747 mm. For this reason, Spank now offers Dual XGT bars in the Spike 777 EVO, and Subrosa 747 EVO, which share similar geometries, tapers, and thicknesses and allow a range of 777mm to 717mm. For riders looking for something a little trimmer in a Dual XGT model, we now offer our new Oozy line of 700mm bars for XC/Aggressive Trail.

I like to compete with very light wheels. Are the Oozy and Vomax rims okay for DS/4X or DJ? – Spank’s Vomax line was designed with only one thing in mind…winning XC races at the highest levels. Although there have been a few reviews where test riders successfully took the Vomax rims to new horizons to see just how much they could take, we do not warranty the Vomax against freestyle or gravity applications like 4X or Dual Slalom, and do not suggest that they are used for these purposes. The Oozy line on the other hand was designed for mixed discipline use. It is equally at home in All Mountain and XC applications. Several of our pro-riders use an Oozy spec for DJ and 4X/DS competition. At Spank we suggest that Oozy be applied to aggressive gravity disciplines if you are a very smooth, but not exceptionally large rider.

How are the new Tweet and Spoon One2One Frames different than last year? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The new Tweet and One2One frames have been through a major update this year. After years of research with our pro riders and consumers, the direction was clear but truly challenging. The goal was to preserve the lightness and overall feel (what our riders call whipability), of these models while improving on toe clearance during spin tricks, and downtube clearance for some forks with taller adjustment knobs, as well as to optimize responsiveness in pedal bursts and power hops for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bigger and bigger slopestyle courses and DJ lines. To achieve this without increasing overall wheelbase, we lengthened the top tube slightly, and reduced the total length of the rear triangle. In the process, we tightened the whole rear triangle while maintaining clearance for larger diameter tires by tuning our chain/seat stay bend tooling. To complete the new rear triangle, Spank invested in forge tooling to create the lightest and strongest rear dropout we could. This new custom dropout is knurled to reduce annoying axle slip in the horizontal drops. The seat tube too was shortened to compliment the new rear triangle, and allow riders to slam that saddle. To keep the weight under 2.5kg, Spank has implemented a new double butted tube set, with a classic round profile. Finally, all new welding fixtures and angles had to be worked out to allow for all the changes. Our riders were stoked to find that we were able to achieve all of this without revising the comfortable 69 degree head tube angle and short wheel base they loved. The Tweet was topped off with an all new graphics package over our brilliantly translucent ECO coat finish in black, aqua blue, apple red, eggplant purple or chrome. To keep the One2One attractive to the Core Rider, its finished in a matte powder coat with down-toned graphics, black on black or white on toxic wasabi green.

3D CNC Bending –Three Dimensional CNC bending machines, offer better consistency, and more importantly limit material and structural damage in the bending process. Damage caused to competitors’ bars in harsh traditional bending processes is difficult to measure, and put the rider at risk. 3D CNC bending allows us to optimize our designs where others must overbuild with buffer material. Spank has also taken steps in our shaping processes to ensure that the barclamping area is uniformly cylindrical and as true as possible. Improving the bar-stem interface is critical to withstanding extreme loads and improving fatigue life.

MGR - Micro Grain Refinement – Processes such as extrusion, forging and tube drawing can increase the strength of alloy materials by reducing the grain size. Spank uses state of the art proprietary metal forming methods which further improve grain size consistency and orientation, and significantly reduce the grain size beyond that of our competitors. No other bars are subjected to the number of drawing steps, or level of refinement as those offered by Spank. This leads to greater ultimate strength, toughness, and ductility...meaning confidence, comfort and safety.

Dual XGT with Impact Ends – XGT or “Extreme Gradual Taper” technology is a proprietary tube drawing process, afforded by state of the art tooling. Dual XGT technology tapers our bars from the thickest area at the bar clamping zone, slowly and gradually through the bend zones, to the thinnest area at the control mount zone, AND back to a thicker reinforced barend zone. Tapers that occur over too short a distance, or with defined start/end points, create isolated stress zones where breaks occur. Dual XGT designs with Impact Ends optimize thicknesses to withstand the specific forces at work in each zone, while offering better protection against crashes than ever before! Extreme precision enabled by Dual XGT drawing processes also eliminates the need for excessive hand grinding, with can result in imperfections and inconsistency in wall thickness, weakening bars.

OohBah™ - REVERSED WELL DESIGN

SPANK’s patented OohBah™ profile combines a concave outer wall with a convex inner tube well resulting in a never before seen “hoop strength” in the sectional profile. OohBah™ “wave” inner tube wells remain stable under immense loads, offering greater support to the side walls than traditional straight or curved tube wells. Stronger, lighter designs mean SPANK can offer wider rims than anyone, meaning further increases in stiffness and greater tirespread, traction, and comfort.

ADVANCED ALLOY COMPOSITIONS

DOUBLE BeadNip™

The addition of a second set of BeadNip™ on the inner tube well ensures the tire always remains in the beadseat, even when riding at minimal air pressures. Competitors’ rims allow the bead to slip inward leading to snakebites (pinch-flats).

Common rim alloys 6061 and 6005, although easy to work with, suffer from relatively poor yield, ultimate strength and fatigue life. In a quest to isolate the perfect alloy blend for each specific application, SPANK has enlisted metallurgists and industry experts from around the world. For our new EVO line of rims, we have adopted rare new age alloys, which offer unparalelled strength and yield values. All SPANK EVO rims receive additional micro grain refinement - MGR processes, meaning greater rigidity and better resistance to denting and permanent deformation than ever before!

“DYNAMAL™” is a new, rare, virgin alloy composition. Unlike standard recycled alloy mixes, DYNAMAL™ is a dynamically aged, complex, highly magnesium-silicon-copper enriched, pure alloy. Compared to statically aged traditional alloy types, DYNAMAL™ shows a significant further increase in ultimate tensile strength and yield, without the normal reductions in fatigue life. Where 6061 measures impurities in parts per thousand, DYNAMAL™ measures them in parts per million. DYNAMAL™ is composed of 11 alloying elements and 4 restricted elements, compared to just 6 alloying elements and a few restrictors in 6061. Imported and rare in our industry, DYNAMAL™ is used in the production of our race inspired VoMax and Spike rim lines. It offers unparalleled rigidity in rims and a never before seen resistance to permanent deformation.

Super-6™ aluminum is a specially blended magnesium-silicon-copper enriched, work-hardened alloy. Super-6™ offers the perfect mix of hardness, yield, fatigue life, and a superior ultimate tensile 150% strength to standard 6 series alloys. Super-6™ alloy is composed of 8 alloying elements and 4 restrictors. 130% It is ideal fo rhe creation of thin walled, super stiff rims. Through the recent adoption of Super-6 materials, SPANK’s Oozy, Subrosa, and Stiffy rim lines are now stronger and show greater resistance to deformation than ever thought possible.

Spank Industries Invests in Exclusive Rim Manufacturer Fratelli Industries Due to the amazing success of Spank Industries’ Oohbah Patented Rim Designs, and a desire to push the limits in the development of new material and process technologies, Spank Industries co-founder, Gavin Vos, has recently invested heavily into exclusive in-house rim and handlebar production factories, locally in Taiwan. Fratelli Industries is a state of the art, 1000 square meter facility specializing in the exclusive production of high end rims and spokes for the bicycle industry. Located in the Chang Hua area, outside of Taichung, Taiwan, Fratelli employs proprietary extrusion, cutting and hooping tooling and techniques, and works with exclusive new era alloys. By combining a unique level of attention to material spec and consistency with newly developed micro grain refinement mechanical production processes, Fratelli offers its partners a rare ability to achieve optimized weights, improved consistency, and increased rigidity. A vast experience base has been achieved by Fratelli’s founding partners, who together share decades of wheel building expertise, combined with some of Taiwan’s leading material and process experts in this field. A spoke program is also planned for the near future. With built in abilities to perform extensive material analysis, FEA simulation, in-house tooling design and sample assessment, and laboratory and real world testing, Fratelli has in a very short time taken Spank Industries’ wheel development program to new levels. In 2010, Spank introduced its new EVO line of rims to the bike world. Immediately Spank Industries realized from 5-15% reductions in weight across their range, along with up to 20% increases in stiffness and ultimate strength. Mike Dutton {Spank Brand Manager}”Spank Industries started business in 2003, primarily distributed to Germany and surrounding area. Since then we have increased distribution to global levels and recently opened a new sales office in the USA. Our objective has always been to offer cyclists in all disciplines the ultimate synergy of performance, light weight, and design. Although Spank Industries gained its early fame servicing the Freeride, Downhill and Dirtjump markets, recently Spank has extended its lines to offer some of the most competitive XC, Trail, and All Mountain components on Earth. More and more, weight consciousness has become a primary concern. The only way to push evolution at the pace that our industry demands, and to ensure the level of production consistency that is required to offer both light weight and cutting-edge performance, is to bring development in-house. Last year our investment into a handlebar development and production facility paid off in a huge way. This year we are ecstatic about the work we are doing on rims with partner Fratelli Industries, and the future that holds. Taking a look at the advancements we’ve made already on our new EVO rim series for 2010, there are no limits to what we can accomplish together!” Gavin Vos {Spank Co-Owner / Fratelli Co-Founder} – Fratelli Industries has afforded Spank the opportunity (as an opinion leading component upgrade brand), to partner in a manufacturing facility with a deep wealth of processing and materials knowledge. The result is an exclusive and technically advanced line of product. The primary focus of Fratelli is adding value through design, advanced process capabilities, and the application of exotic materials. Spank is now better able than ever before to provide its riders with performance enhancing components at competitive prices! Fratelli Ind. can be contacted at fratelli.ind@gmail.com.
