cleaned off some of the new rust... :(
Bike Check

With enough lube and brute force, anything is possible.

Bought some RNC Lite 19mm cranks and polished them up nice.
Before

After

Also replace the button bolts and washers with counter sunk cap screws made some matching spacers.

Managed to beast out a legit feeble hard 180 then started going for smith hard 180s. I also tried to do combos but I'm not advanced yet so ill crawl before I walk. 'twas a good solo day despite dodging rain.

Started playing with pedal slides. Feeble pedals and feeble to back pedal/bb chink slide thing.

Also started playing with airs. Hit coping and didn't geek out and land too flat. Was stoked on life

Broke in my chainstay and bb shell trying out crankslides. Crankslides are all the rage these days with the kids.

Today I sorted out the broken spokes in my wheels; 5 spokes in the rear and 7 spokes in the front.

This coupled with the new Bluebird chain last week has made my bike roll nice again.

Good feeling. I only use the DT spokes from now on and yeah, those bluebird chains are the best.

I've been using Odyssey spokes for years now, but when I built my new back wheel recently all my local bike shop had in the right size were Primo and Proper ones, I knew how much the Primo ones tend to stretch out so I picked the Proper. I shouldn't have because they're proper shit. Poor quality spokes and going from 48h to 36h has made me need to fiddle with it far more than I'd like.

Swapped my shadow noctis cranks for a pair of brand new odyssey 4x4 bars. Going to be going back to the good old powerbites till my new cranks come in

Brought it to London in a box, built it up outside the pizza shop so I didn't have to carry the box any longer...
