\"_DSC6981\"<\/a>
\nMakken showed up a bit early to Santa Cruz for Cruz FEST
\n\"_DSC6993\"<\/a>
\nTrek painted up this super sick matte black Session Park frame with silver decals. After drooling over it for a while we asked him to do a bike check.<\/p>\n

\"_DSC6949\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"_DSC6950\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"_DSC6948\"<\/a>
\nCustom FEST series HOPE bits. The UK brand takes good care of Makken and their beautiful parts hang nicely on his bike.
\n\"_DSC6951\"<\/a>
\nNarrow wide ring and beautifully made cranks.
\n\"_DSC6958\"<\/a>
\nV4 Brakes
\n\"_DSC6963\"<\/a>
\nHope pulleys in his “derailleur”
\n\"_DSC6971\"<\/a>
\nWhen you go big, you crash big. Gotta protect the assets with metal bar caps.
\n\"_DSC6942\"<\/a>
\nBrushed metallic. Drool. SO METAL!
\n\"_DSC6945\"<\/a>
\nClose looks at the decals. So sick!
\n\"_DSC6944\"<\/a>
\n600 Pound spring on his Fox shock. Gnarly! Oh, and an acid stripped Cap.
\n\"_DSC6953\"<\/a>
\nIntegrated bumpers look so goood.
\n\"_DSC6957\"<\/a>
\nA little sharpie action.
\n\"_DSC6964\"<\/a>
\nMakken is known for not running a shifter. He runs a 4 speed cassette and picks his gear with the limit screws.
\n\"_DSC6965\"<\/a>
\nThat leaves this one lonely brake line coming out of his frame.
\n\"_DSC7000\"<\/a>
\n\"_DSC6962\"<\/a>
\nA not so pedestrian drivetrain requires and chain that’s tough as nails. Connex are known for being durable and stron.
\nOdyssey pivotal saddle. Light and simple.
\n\"_DSC7001\"<\/a>
\nBontrager G5 tires. 2.5front, 2.35rear.
\n\"_DSC7002\"<\/a>
\nAnd the best rims on the planet. Mavic 721 rims have been going strong since the mid 1990’s and they won Rampage last year. Pretty incredible.
\n\"_DSC6985\"<\/a>
\nTattoos and FREEdom. Sensus Grips wire tied. Makken knows what’s up.
\n\"_DSC6966\"<\/a>
\nAcid stripped adjusters on Makken’s Fox 40. Makken’s bike’s ethos is : “the absence of color.”
\n\"_DSC6998\"<\/a>
\nCat scratch fever.
\n\"_DSC6966\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"_DSC6970\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"_DSC6968\"<\/a>
\nMakken has been working on his own brand lately : “Rolling Solid” 45mm rise bars will be something relatively new. He’s taking his time and doing the R&D himself. Riding in FEST series is a good indicator of how tough your parts are.<\/p>\n

We’ll be keeping you in the loop on the first round of FEST series. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
