Product Story

These are from the same time capsule we found the “Blue Balls” in a few months ago…did you hear about this story?….
We were about to demolish the downstairs bathroom and there were a bunch of old Sierra Nevada beer boxes in the rafters above it, with an inch of machine-oil soaked dust on them. Most of these boxes were full of old paperwork, but upon peeking inside one of them, we were surprised to discover all the components and packaging to build up a bunch of this long discontinued product: “Fire Balls”. This was a seatbinder bolt we manufactured from 1992 to 1994. If you order one of these, you’re getting the original “New Old Stock” part, in its original packaging card with the peace sign on the back that Paul drew by hand. Don’t try to send anything to the PO Box listed on the back of these cards, that’s long defunct.
These only fit frames designed for an external seatbinder bolt or quick-release, like your dad’s 80’s mountain bike. The minimum distance between the balls is 26mm, and the maximum distance is 40mm (Using the stock bolt it comes with. But you can replace it with a longer or shorter 6mm bolt if you need to). If you don’t know if this will fit your bike, go to a bike shop and ask an expert.
