PRODUCT REVIEW // FAMLI STRAPS los angeles

I think the first thing that stood out to me with the STRAPS was the color purple. I have yet to see very many companies use such a deep color purple like FAMLI STRAPS does. Besides that I like how the straps are reinforced with metal at the ends of the straps to keep them from fraying over time. The straps are also fairly stiff yet not to stiff so for some it may be a more comfortable strap for everyday use as well as tricking. After 2 weeks of vigorous testing these straps look pretty good for the abuse they were put threw. So if you are looking for a good Fixed Freestyle strap that is not only affordable but comes in many different color options then I suggest you check these out. I will have them down at THE WORKSHOP LB on display for a few days so if you are in the area be sure to come by and check them out…. and did I mention they are HAND MADE RIGHT HERE IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA !

The top tube pad is definitely longer than most top tube pads I have seen or have used before. For those of you that are doing tricks this is definitely going to cover the entire top tube so if you are looking for a new top tube pad FAMLI STRAPS has got you covered their and they have many different color options to choose from as well.

The HIP POUCH is very spacious and also has a hidden pocket built in that if there was not a note attached to the hip pouch when they sent it to me I would have never found it hahahahah ! Besides the secret pocket I really like that this bag has plenty of space to fit all my tools, tube, and bike pump for when I want to go for a ride and not have to lug around a huge bag. One thing I noticed about this pouch was that it did not have a U-Lock holster built in to it as many other hip pouches on the mark have built in. However despite this I could really care lees because the size of the pouch makes up for that and I have always been one to put my U-Lock in my belt as I ride.

Since back in the day I have been a huge fan of HOLD FAST. Handemade in the USA and built to last I know that these straps can endure anything you throw at them. HOLD FAST straps are used by some of the best fixed freestyle, track, and street riders all over the world. When I had the honor of meeting the owner of back at the SF Bike Expo in November 2011 he offered me the chance to create a custom MASHAFIX X HOLD FAST strap collab. I am more than happy with how they came out and can not wait to put these on my bike. Check out the NEW MASHAFIX ONLINE STORE and enter the coupon code YOUKNOWWAZGOOD for a special discount.

If you have not seen these posted on the HOLD FAST website you need to go check them out. I am a huge fan of PURPLE anything and these HOLD FAST STRAPS are way to sick ! I have been a huge fan of HOLD FAST and I was using them since way back in the day when the only two good choices for straps were HOLD FAST or RELOAD. I never really ride fixed freestyle but if riders like JOE MCKEAG and CONGO and MICHAEL CHACON are riding them; well then you already know whats good ! Plus I have used these on multiple bikes and NEVER had one problem.
