id imagine slams are pretty pricey across the pond

Yeah I think they're about £60 + an extra tenner if you want chrome.

Nice one, cheers I'll get em ordered!

get in contact with CK and see if you can convert it to 130. i wouldnt stretch an alloy frame, but thats just me

Sweet I think ill do that. Is swapping an axle hard?

[Admiral Ackbar]

haven't worked on any king hubs myself so i can't say, i can't imagine its very difficult tho - as long as you don't need special tools

Any one know if the Chromoly Shadow Raptor front hub guards will work on a profile? I love my Steel S&M Cymbal , so might try too mod the hub cones too run the front S&M guard. But just seeing if the Shadow was a direct fit.

Thanks

I think the Shadow front hub has a 15mm axle and Profile is 17mm, but don't quote me on that.

Have any of you tried the Cult Butter bars? I'm after a set of two piece with plenty of upsweep and a bit more rise.

Any opinions of them?

Anyone tried plastidipping on frames/forks/bars?

[thirks]

I haven't tried it, but id think that one of the problems youd run into would be the finish being too thick in the dropouts of the frame/forks

[Kinchy]

My wheels are white, and I don't want them to be. Will I get away with spraying them black without un-lacing the wheel? I can't be bothered to spend money/use effort. Spokes are black. Pictures of this working would be cool.

Unrelated kinda, but found a thread on vital where they are telling each other to sand the chrome off rims...

[Admiral Ackbar]

i think you should be fine, I've sprayed over a chrome rim on a wheel with black spokes and i thought it looked okay

[mrjimyjohn]

Just don't mix finishes. Like if your spokes are matte black and you paint the rim gloss, or the other way round. It'll look real bad lol
