Proper have just reloaded their warehouse with a ton of slick new produce. Read all about it below. Give your local BMX store a nudge and tell them to hit up the crew at IMG Distro for availability.

Vanguard Sprockets

Available in black, polish, ox-blood red, or blue. 25t 27t or 28t. Guard sprockets are gaining popularity as the next wave of street riders seek to protect their chain during crooked grinds etc. This one is CNC’d from 7075 alloy and features squared teeth and four rotation points for maximum durability. This sprocket accepts half link chains and fits all cranks (except socket-drive Odyssey Thunderbolts).

Acala Stems

After more than a year of testing the Acala stems are finally available. There’s four options (front or top load, wedge or regular 6 bolt) and the four colour-ways. Again these stems are CNC’d from 7075 billet for maximum strength and have been considerably beefed up when compared with older stems. Proper’s wedge system uses just one 6mm (same as the four front bolts) bolt, which is obviously preferable for the stresses of BMX and more convenient (as you only need one Allen key).
