i miss eggits old bikechecks, dope mods on there for sure. shame they're not on the current server or whatever.

Thanks man. Have some old pics.





Not much has changed on it since then. I got a new seat and some new bars. One of the springs on the front brake broke so its been replaced with a rubber band wrapped around the brake arm and the fork and it works pretty good. Those brakes use some wacky spring I can't find anywhere, and no one makes low profile canti's anymore. I've been wanting a pair of avid Tri Aligns for years, but they go for about $200 on ebay.


The only new thing I have done on the BMX that I was satisfied with has been fufanu to canadian nosepick, I need to try and get a clip of that. Other than that its just been failing to re-learn my old tricks. You guys might have inspired me to put together a shitty web edit though.
In lieu of BMX have some stupid trials clips.

I think my fave Eggit mod was either using hydro fronts or when he ground his Director welds off

I wonder if hydro levers are any better now, or more able to be routed down the steerer a la Pott's mod

[badlight]

Eggit, why dont you have your lower cables running straight to the arms?

[Eggit2]

You could run hydros down a steer no problem, my issue with them was that the stock magura lever just feels like garbage. My trials bike has these Echo levers on it and they feel awesome. I have been thinking about going hydro on the BMX again.

Although BMX bars might not be wide enough for that lever, on my trials bike there is about 2" of exposed handlebar between the brake clamp and grip.

I don't like running dual cables straight into the brake arms, I don't think the cable angle ends up right and you lose a lot of power. That little adapter is some thing SST made but only ever sold on completes, essentially turning a dual cable set up into a straddle and getting a better pull angle. Its also the same principle as the people that cross there dual cables over one another before going to the brake.
