Back in 2001 Steve Carvajal got tired of constantly making adjustments on his then 6 year old son's bike just to make the components work properly. The only components available at that time for small bikes were shrunk down versions of of big bike components. The geometry on those didn't seem to have been reconfigured to fit the smaller bike or it's rider so they didn't work as well as they could
have. Since Steve had a background in machining he started playing around with designing and machining components that would fit, and more importantly, WORK on his son's bike. After many hours and days spent measuring the bike and rider, and testing of the parts, he finally came up with parts that worked, and worked well. People at the track started noticing the components and the difference they made on his son's riding. Since there were no companies specializing in race components for kids Steve decided to start his own company, doing just that. He named the company Little Dude Components in honor of his son, who was a "little dude" at the time. Since that time LDC has evolved into one of the leading manufacturers in the BMX industry. We now have a full line of BMX components for ALL sizes of racers. Our components are CNC'd here in our facility in Chandler, Arizona USA. We choose to do our manufacturing in America even though in the BMX scene that is not the norm. By keeping it in house we have 100% control of every component that leaves our shop. That and our strive for excellent customer service are what we believe to set us apart from the rest.
