Put 4 pegs on got use out of my sprocket and did some feeble 90s. Also did some very laughable left side feeble grinds. I also cut my bars down earlier so I was enjoying the bars I was throwing.

They're Odyssey Double Space bars. Before tightening the stem down the bars wouldn't even sit in the stem, they kind of balanced on the bottom half of the stem. This also happened when I had the Banned Sludge stem.

I'm running that exact Sludge stem(you sold it to me) and my Scerbo's, Shadow 4pc, Tree, and current Spacebars bars fit fine. :dunno:

What bars are those? They must be a larger OD than normal, (I believe it's 7/8"?) either that or fbm fucked up, but I kind of doubt that...

Maybe if the aluminum is soft enough it'll eventually fit? Haha

I have that space too. I thought it was because I ovalized my bars a tad bit when running a front load.

Quote from: Professor Horatio Hufnagel;3613017

(I made) a whole new chain out of spare links, as I've done before. This time however I had gold & black spare links from Bluebirds instead of just silver 510Hx links.

So now my chain is half black, half silver...

I went to check my chain the other day, and realised I knew exactly where to find where I joined it due to the different colours...

I wish that Bluebirds came with a different coloured link on the opposite end to the half link, so if you don't use the half link, you can still easily tell where you joined it. People could take the coloured link off too if they gave a shit about the colour diff

Edit: Could just mark where it's joined like bpn, or just check every part of the chain but where's the laziness in that

Hm interesting. Maybe these bars are slightly thicker by a mm or 2, I don't know either haha. Glad to hear you still have the stem though! :cheers:

Edit: Had to run to Home Depot today because my seat clamp bolt stripped out. Stoked they had the size I needed and bought and extra pair as well.

Tried to put a fresh coat of clear on my frame. Not sure if it
Was the humidity from the rain or different clearcoats reacting
Badly. I now have a nice coat of orange peel now. Guess I'll redo it
in the spring.

ordered odyssey cranks to replace my 10 year old SFA things.

I picked up an auto body touch up gun for cheap, I'll probably wait 'till the spring to use it though.

Assembling the Model-C I picked up in a trade to replace my wife's 125R.

Ordered some tires and picked up a DLT on another forum for the Mod-C as well.

Actually rode it because I got out of work while it was still still light out as well as it being like 50 degrees.
Then I came across these on BMXMuseum, tempted to buy them.

Slapped these little gems on my bike. Now I can say goodbye to those odd 7mm size bolts and have a much more convenient 6mm key size to use from here on out.

Profile actually make those? I was going to grab some B6 bolts off Dan's but I might just get some of those if I can find some...
