If you have a vintage MTB or basket bike and are looking for a light ‘n’ supple, file tread center tire that excels for mixed terrain biking, and want a pop of color, then check out the SimWorks Homage tires in 26″. These Panaracer-made tires are back in stock in the classic bright green tread, or black tread gumwall if you’re seeking a sleeker look. Both colors are back in stock at SimWorks for $68.

Inspired by designs dating back to the 1930s and 1940s, the new SimWorks Short Fenders combine Honjo construction with a vintage sensibility. Used by road and ‘cross racers looking to protect their braking performance as well as cycling hunters who feared mud-clogged fenders, this truncated design is designed to keep mud away from your rim brake calipers and headset. They’re also ideal for bikes that might have to be transported on a bike rack on a car or public transit.

Available in silver or black and a variety of different widths and finishes, and in stock now at SimWorks.

After SimWorks ogled the bronze Taco pedals and the bronze Bubbly Pedals, the brand decided it NEEDED to have a Bronze version of its Standalone 001 rims by Velocity.  These stunners are available in all your favorite wheel sizes, 26”, 27.5”(650), 29” (700), and in Machined sidewall AND Non-machined sidewall. They will be priced at $139 for the Non-Machined option and $149 for the Machined option, and available as of July 25, 2025.

SimWorks and MKS teamed up to develop the Bubbly pedals a few years ago. Now the Nagoya, Japan and Portland, Oregon based Sim Works has unveiled a limited run of olive drab cerakote pedals. Unlike anodizing, cerakote is a matte finish, which contrasts the steel pedal spindle body’s low-lustre quite nicely.

Features:

• Ultra-wide Concave Platform: MKS boasts one of its largest platforms in history. The tread’s concave shape naturally accepts a wide range of sole positioning for the rider. Move those feet around periodically throughout a long ride, and watch some muscle groups thank you.
• Triple Sealed Bearing Assembly: Pedal spindle has increased sealed bearing support in three points to maximize rotational performance while minimizing stack height, reducing rotational resistance to the utmost. (Flawless and effortless pedal spin capabilities with no slop)
• Chrome Plated Forged Spindle: Cold-forged steel spindle with chrome-plated finish for precision and durability

SimWorks USA just took a shipment of a unique run of pedals: black paint over brass. The intent behind this product launch is an homage to black paint Leica M cameras, which patina over time as the black paint rubs off the brass camera bodies. SimWorks’ delivery consists of Promenade, Sylvan Stream, and BM-7 pedals.

Each of these pedal models comes packed in a specially designed box inspired by the Leica M bayonet lens boxes. We just wanted to commend SimWorks on a lovely project that is full of exceptional photography and studies. Check out the full post on SimWorks’ Blog.
