Finally here!
I love gladiator spikes. I love them on old lead sled Merc’s, semi trucks, and bikes. I’d love them on shopping carts and my mother’s walker if I saw them there. I just think they really elevate the level of badass on anything that wears them. And up until now I’ve been churning out just steel versions with a rusted patina finish. Ahhhh, nothing better than that. Or so I thought.
Lately I’ve been asked to produce an alternative that is more sleek, clean, custom and maybe I should just “hold the rust” while I’m at. So after I picked myself up off the ground and got over the initial shock of such a strange request, I got to work on a new line of spikes carved out of 6061 T6 aluminum and powder coated them in a satin black finish. Available in 7/8” i.d. for the older scooters out there, and 1.00” (25mm) bore units for our late model bikes. I think these are just what the doctor ordered for that last piece of detail to make you stand out from the rest of the group on Bike Night.
