Laced up a new set of Madera hubs too Sun Big Ballers. Been slacking on this I got the hubs about a month ago, haven't felt up too building them. The front one went together so smooth, probably the easiest build I've had in awhile.

Caught the last flat I plan on getting in a while. Fixed it and now I will stay away from that spot for a while. My wall rides suck at the moment but I can almost hop a bush!

Installed new cranks and forks. The bolts bottomed out on the spindle when installing with minimal spacers (good chainline with arms spaced out evenly) so I had to add spacers between the drive side crank and my sprocket. Also cut down the bolts before doing that but it turned out to be unnecessary. Think of the weight saved! 48 spline cranks btw, coming from Powerbites of 6.75 years. Straight cranks feel weird.

No problem with the forks, but the advertised 160mm steerer turned out to be exactly the same length as my 170mm Odyssey steerer, as I could use the same amount of spacers. Odd.

Bike feels good, could use a new chain with a half-link though. I used to run my axle halfway out of the dropouts before slamming my wheel with a stretched chain. You can hear the unsmooth.

I rebuilt my buddies freecoaster. Installed new bearings regreased everything and swapped out some broken spokes and trued the wheel. First time seeing inside an external adjusting coaster.

all kinds of shit, dunno what youd be interested in. not keen on parting with my lefty 48h ss hub, or the homer and monkey fronts i already have, gsport stem, rnc ti clamp, wtp everlast bars, or any of my haemorrhoid seats. thats probably the best bg collectable shit i own, so can i interest you in cash?
this year i am going to have sex and it will be awesome

And I'm a complete dickhead who had forgotten to get back to you! Sorry about that, I couldn't have got that low on price anyway if it's any consolation.

hey that's cool, as it goes i didn't need any new parts. well, a new race but that's coming and will take ten mins so pretty much job done. how was barca (?) ?

HOWEVER, can i hit you up for 40 x 186mm spokes, nips and a bsd marmy guard (all in black)? if you can do me the marmy bearings aswell i shall worship the ground that you walk on and give praise to the place where you sit

Yeah no worries! I'm back in on Monday but will drop you a message with my Facebook because I don't sign in here to often and forget to check the messages! Malaga was amazing btw - it needs to be on everyone's bucket list (we've been three times now do that says it all!)
