Your authoritative resource for BMX, Old school to New

​

1980 introduced the Uni-Clamp stem which was years ahead of its time!  Instead of a traditional fork with threads the Uni-Clamp fork had a longer steer tube allowing clamping area for the Uni-Clamp.  The top headset race is not threaded so the Uni-Clamp is placed onto the fork.  Now the locknut for the headset is threaded onto the fork allowing the adjustment to the headset.  Once in place then the Uni-Clamp bolts are tightened onto the fork.


No more snapping stem/wedge bolts, much stronger, set & forget your headset adjustment, no need for a flex fighter, and talk about sano looking!!!

   

The rest of the bike is all Cook Bros. Racing parts and  era correct.

   

Gary and Craig Cook were crankin' out innovative US made products and appreciate all they did for BMX!
