Looks like they finished up the Project YZ125 over at Two Stroke Motocross. The bike looks great! Check it out…
See the previous post on this project bike for links to TSM’s website and facebook page.
Those are our Eco series hubs with D.I.D DirtStar ST-X rims, and our spokes and red anodized 7075 nipples.
We’ve built up a custom wheel set for a project bike being built by Two-Stroke Motocross, a website based around 2 stroke dirt bikes. Check out their website, which has a nice discussion forum. You can see more photos of the project here.
They started with an older YZ 125, and have stripped it down and rebuilt with aftermarket parts. Here’s what the bike originally looked like.
The bike will be finished in a red, white and black color scheme. Here’s the wheels we sent them today. Should be a pretty sweet ride once it’s all done!
Queensland Yamaha rider Tamara Gray racks up a second consecutive round win in SSMX.
The sand of Hervey Bay played host to the fourth round of the Shell Advance Sunshine State Motocross Series over the weekend and Tamara’s strong performance of 2-1 in the Senior Women’s class did the trick in securing her a second consecutive win in the series.
With four rounds still remaining, this latest top score continues to keep her pressing hard in what’s shaping up to be a two horse race.
Moto one saw Tamara charging hard from the start taking the hole shot. With series leader Sarah Guthrie hot in pursuit, Gray was able to hold off the rookie over the following fifteen minutes only to lose the lead on the final lap.
In moto two Gray was amongst top two off the start, making her way to the front. Guthrie continued her hard charging making a pass only to have Tamara return the favour and run away with the win.
“I am happy I didn’t lose any points in the series standings today, I don’t have the best track record in the sand here. I am glad that’s the last of the sand tracks as technical hard pack is more my specialty.”
“In the first moto I felt like I struggled, riding tight and not letting the bike move in the sand. I felt I was keeping it together just well enough to take the win until I got slowed up by a lapped rider and I lost the lead.”
“A bit devastated after the first moto I had a good re-think and went out on the track with a different goal – just to ride smooth and get in to a rhythm. That approach worked for me, despite the track being rougher I definitely felt I rode it better.”
The win in the final moto not only secured her on the top step of the podium for the day but landed a spot on the local Channel 7 and 9 news broadcast representing her sponsor’s and women’s motocross.
Next stop on the WMX calendar for Tamara is round five of the Shell Series at Kingaroy June 5th.
Tamara considered a pioneer of women’s racing is currently ranked first in Queensland for Natural Terrain MX, and second for Motocross, with a ranking of seventh nationally. Tamara has won 10 QLD senior women’s motocross championships and was the first women in her state to be graded to intermediate amongst men’s competition.
Tamara continues to race for the love of racing and riding motorcycles.
Tamara would like to thank her sponsors; Yamaha QLD, Bayside Yamaha, GYTR, Motul, Fox, MPT Fitness, Ward Racing Developments, Kustom MX, Pirelli, Polisport, Alpinestar, RK Chains, Promo Shack Jersey ID, Sixty-nine Designs, Excel Rims, RAD hubs, JT sprockets, Hiflo filters, Vee Rubber, Ferodo & Barkbuster.

Here’s a copy of a new write up on RAD wheels that will appear in the next issue of Dirt Bike magazine. They gave us a nice review. Check it out.
Here’s some great looking wheels we just built in all black. Black everything! Rims, Hubs, Spokes, and Nipples….all black. I think the A60’s really make this wheel set shine. Something about that stripe. It really brings it together. Dig
