The SURLY booth was one of our favorite hangouts at the trade show. Hurl and company are cool guys with some great products. Although their main market is single-speed mountain bikes, these 1X1 hubs are a fine crossover for BMX bikes. The 1x1™ single-speed hubs are forged and CNC-machined from 6061 aluminum and feature 4130 Cro-Moly solid axles, spinning on sealed cartridge bearings. The 135mm-spaced rear hub allows the use of BMX freewheels and as an added bonus, it’s threaded on each side for the convenience of quick gear changes. Front hub spacing is 100mm, and the matched pair is available in black or silver, (32° only). Both feature the handsome 1x1™ laser-etched logo. S.R.P. Front $45, Rear $54. The more products you buy from Surly, the more often Hurl can go and hang out at the pubs. So please help them out.

Hurl is also the editor of a cool zine called Cars-R-Coffins which promotes bicycles as a means of transportation instead of automobiles. There are some hysterical stories, anecdotes, artwork, and a bunch more.
