What did you do to your bike today? (v2)
« Reply #2280 on: November 01, 2012, 01:23:38 PM »
Rode street with my best friends, and one of them noticed that I have a crack that runs halfway down one of my pegs. It's not even in my oldest peg either! Oh well. I think I'm going to flip my front tire so I can have what i s normally my left side guard on my right side, since my right guard is wayyyyy more worn down than my left.

Been thinking about ditching the pegs. While I like the idea of grinding and watching the peg possibilities gets me hyped to go out an try shit but when I do all I end up with is feebles and lame ice picks and smiths on short ledges. I can't get my body to do them on anything higher than 3ft and it sucks. I might give them ago one last time. I think I just need to build a grid box so I can work on shit at my house more often.

Dealing with a perpetual flat on the Nature Boy.  Want to squeeze one last ride in before I'm in SE Asia for a few weeks.

It would have been great to have parents, but it made BMX so much more hardcore and real not being able to buy anything new, ever.

I threw my pegs back on last week. It had been about a year since I ran any pegs.

So today I replaced my old Shadow pegs with some new Odyssey Rifle pegs (4140 version).

Bent my forks and found a crack in my frame this week. Bent them back and wrapped the ht in ductape. Broke more spokes. Wheel doesn't spin.

New bike time.


whereabouts do you ride lad? surprised i've never bumped into you if you live out my way. if you need any parts lemme know, i have a stack of stuff, some it's a bit worse for wear, but generally crack free.

Switched pedals from Hamilton PC to my old aluminum JCs.
So fed up with plastic pins, never buying another pair of plastic pedals ever again (excluding JCPC).

Sorted through some parts for my T1. Sprayed my forks and bars I'm using on it. Just needs a freeze stem, BB spacers(anyone like to donate some 22mm? :D), vandero 2 bolts, and a tire/tube.

Donations accepted!!!

Also, stripping some paint off of an old Trail Boss so hopefully I can get it in the paint booth this weekend.


Found a crack on the frame. It was supposed to go in the paint booth tomorrow morning. The crack is where the seatstay meets the dropout on the drive side. The frame is 15 years old, so it is to be expected.

Emailed SBC so hopefully I can send it to get repaied soon.

Super bummed. If anyone has a good condition 97-98 Trail Boss hit me up.
