I had a friend ride the city with me once, and after about three hours we noticed a big nail in his tyre. Entered through the sidewall (wtf!?) and out through the tread. He kept riding it. Slime tubes, apparently awesome.

Steel one off a complete. Is probably about a year old though, I've been doing lots of high speed uprails/upledges lately though, which I can't imagine would help, strengthwise.

I think most complete bike pegs are stronger than some others. I snapped an (admittedly lighter) JPEG in only a week or so, on the back.

1. finish stripping and clearcoat my fork & bars
2. make a spoke straddle setup
3. modify my avid cable hanger so the cable sits in place better
4. take 1/4 inch off my bars on each side
5. possibly strip my profile cranks and clearcoat

fixed it then noticed a thorn in my rear tire.
Id like to note that when i checked my microknobbie front after the flat, it had about 6 small goatheads in it, but only one actually went through. pretty thornproof for such a weight weenie tire, definatly doesnt get as many flats as the khe
crashed highspeed into some chick whose forehead was as tall as my chin, chin as short as my collar and her bite at my neck
hit so hard the back my head hurts

rode the fixie to sims metals to pick up some cash. usually i ride on the wrong side of the street passing by, but since i wasnt i decided to just ride up to the front... instant flat tire. got my cash, walked across to the street to an autoshop and fixed my tire with a glueless patch i had in my pocket
probably shouldnt be using some racing slick as a regular commuting tire, eh?
got it for 3 bux at the flea market tho :D

Had a flat session then pedalled off to pick up a back wheel for commuter bike.
Cruised home then headed to my local park - there was a roller blade comp on. Got a lift with a friend and jumped a few box jumps at another park.
Had dinner, then rode home. Right before my house, there was a BMW mashing wrong way down the street trying to get the green arrow, missed the cunt by inches, scared the shit out of me.

So I mounted up the ol' Hombres that I had modified to clear 25-9 years ago.
I also bent and reshaped my lever to sit flatter and closer to the bars. I wanted to get rid of the box wrench marks so I spent some time with a file, some sand paper and a bit of polish.

I had a couple local kids roll up while I was blasting Tom Petty in the garage and need some help. I ended up setting up a 12 year old with a new Monolever, Snafu dual upper, GTX, dual lowers, Evo II's, Eclat pads, a Ti Profile Imperial, 2 Aitken red walls, Eclat bb and some twisted PC's. The kid is a big kid but rides all the time and gets heckled alot by the older guys/skaters at the park so I wanted to give him a confidence boost. I felt good about getting him going...and then his mom gave me couple bucks. That kid could not stop giggling about how excited he was. It was a good day.

fixed a broke spoke on each wheel when i noticed a third spoke that was already cracked halfway through and had to buy another one.
I hate lacing up glands
also put on a new rimstrips on both wheels to replace all the ducttape/old tube rimstrips ive had forever (heavy as shit when i took it off and weighed it)
and when i reinstall my rear tire (same tube) it went flat after an hour of driving...
put in a new tube pumped it up, rode it about 10 ft and then PSSSSHSHHHHHHHHH!!!! a hole on the rimstrip side of the rear tube, wth???
replace that tube, go on this 15 mile group ride and at the furthest point while im just pedaling along, my front tube explodes, what the fuck
also got tirelevers and 2 patchkits from a pinata, that was dope
*just checked my tires, rear is flat

I'm in charge of the design and construction of the jump lines at the Castlerock Skills Park as well as the design and construction of the advanced pumptrack so I put in a couple hours of work down at the park to get things rolling for our demo day this weekend.

I really liked my shadow tire when I had it. I only got cause it was on sale at the shop and needed a tire in a pinch. It was a 1.9 Undertaker I believe.
Super grippy. Wore out fast but I got it cheap. Would buy their tires again.

as for the tires thats how it came and the front is a 2.35 while the back is a 2.25... i may swap them soon and see the results. either way i hate the dual giant tires i prefer 2.25 front and like a 2.1 back but if the bike came with that it wouldve been perfect

According to my fagwit yank housemates, they tuned four loko down so it's far less deadly.
If this isn't actually the case, I up your ante to a one RNC barend in exchange for said beverage.

I made an 11t cog/driver for my King hub. The stock lock-ring is designed to work with a 12t cog at the smallest so I had to turn it down. I don't have access to a lathe so... I built a ghetto jig to mount up on my drill press and used a file to take the material down.
you should find an 11t single speed specific cog for that. the lock ring looks sweet!

Thanks man. The lockring was fun. It's the first time I used my drill press as a lathe. I just rounded out the edges by hand after taking material off. It turned out alright.
No one makes an 11t singlespeed cog that I was able to find. 12t is the lowest.
I know I'm running on less material but I'm going to end up running a 3/32" chain on this bike anyway so it should be alright. I'm hoping this 11t cog won't be on there for too long...

Anyone know if there are any halflink solutions to the collapse. The plates are pretty thick so the normal half link just gets crushed.
Post by: Austin Tasseltine on December 13, 2011, 08:54:26 AM
find someone with a spare one? a shadow link might do the trick as well

i first cracked them while doing a 18-stair, they just broke when i did about 2m (80 inches or somethin) drop. it was quite a narrow place to land, so i tried it 3 times. first time my foot blew off the pedal, second time i drove into a wall, third time would have been perfect, when suddenly there was a loud boom and i saw my pedal flying around busting sparks and sh*t. i luckily didn't get hurt or anything. oh and they were the v2's.
also recieved my royal v2's today so luckily i can ride again! stoked!

i kinda wanted them to break, because they were pretty old and bent, also new cranks were on the way. i wasn't expecting the break and i had never broke cranks before so it kinda scared me.
Your foot would blow off those pedals, they're the reason I gave griptape a shot & still shinned myself. Hate those pedals

i think those pedals are really nice, they are magnesium, sealed bearings, light, and if you put on the long pins you cant slip pedals very easily, i haven't got a shinner in like 6 months, maybe you had the short pins? also, i got them for like 15$ so i'm happy. i slipped pedals because of the impact, im pretty sure that would have happened even i had twice the pins.

Holy shit. I wanted one of those so badly back in the day. Isn't there something funny about the seat tube?
It has the same seat tube that they use on the 125R frames. So you have to use a 27mm post, but it still uses a 28.6mm (1-1/8") seat clamp.
I picked this up earlier this year in a trade deal. It was in rough shape (a few layers of paint, dents, brake mounts cut-off, etc.) So I sent it to Standard and had the mounts replaced, then my brother-in-law fixed some dents and painted it the shop he works at.
Original color, Ford Dark Highland Green.

I really wanted a Deathrow or V2 deathrow but that MAC is looking great. I also am pretty partial to the Ivy5 since i liked my ivy3.

Why are some people acting like $40 for that guard is so insane? Normal aluminum guards are $25, United had some alum guard with a steel insert for $35 even. I think my old Mutiny guard with the steel piece was like $30... so for a 100% heat treated 4130 guard, $40 doesn't seem unreasonable. As long as it isn't made too thin, it should more than make up for the cost difference in longevity.

Some of you are aware that a few months ago I went to the hospital in an ambulance after breaking my ankle riding by myself. Within hours of the parameds locking my bike up to the closest rack it was already stolen. So needless to say it feels really great to have a bike, even though I still can't physically ride it.
A bunch of my bmxfu homies got all their spare parts together and were able to give me a really good deal. So thanks to the FU and Orb's Garage I'm rolling again.
I've got some black pedals, going to strip the chain/stem/headset and I think it'll be good. I'll do a bikecheck once all that stuff is done.

Purchased a gsport guard and some pedals that look exactly like diety compound pedals. Might get the plastic with metal pins set if the ones I got work great.
Are they cheaper versions? I'd give those a try on my MTB...

Why are some people acting like $40 for that guard is so insane? Normal aluminum guards are $25, United had some alum guard with a steel insert for $35 even. I think my old Mutiny guard with the steel piece was like $30... so for a 100% heat treated 4130 guard, $40 doesn't seem unreasonable. As long as it isn't made too thin, it should more than make up for the cost difference in longevity.
Well then guess thats why I grabbed my FBM second hand.
See, there is no description on dan's, & just now there is a picture. So if it is true 4130 & heat treated that explains it. I just figured it was mild steel.

Yep, heat treated 4130. It should last a lot longer than an aluminum guard IMO.

The compounds were $48 +shipping I believe. I got the all plastic Ezra pedals for $20. And the ones that are basically diety compounds are $30.
HMMMMM.....
I'll have to look into these. I've been wanting some wider pedals for my MTB but I'm on a tight budget.
EDIT: And for the record, while I usually try to support my LBS I cannot get over the ridiculous markup on pedals. I will never pay full price for a new set of nice pedals... so if I can save on them I will.

I don't know if the actual materials are different but $30 is awesome no matter what. And I was going to spend my money at the shop for some pedals but everything was $20+ so I had to pass.

Yeah, good price for what look like identical pedals. I'd also be throwing them on my 6" FR bike so it's not like they'd be seeing huge impact forces (as opposed to a bmx bike). I would be concerned about rock strikes ripping out the pins but I figure that will happen to any pedal.

Sputnic Stratocaster v2a, bought it for 50$ almost exactly 3 years ago. She served me well, hoping to have her welded then a gusset put over the crack. As for how it happened im clueless, heard some creaking to find that as the culprit.

i laced up a chrome gsport ribcage rim with new spokes. i also installed new hub bearings along with a gdh cromo axle and a shim pack. the last time i replaced my driver i didn't know i had to push the pawls inward as i was tightening the cone nuts so it slightly damaged each of the spots where the springs and pawls go. i cleaned that up though with some light sanding and bent each spring inward a tiny bit to make installation easier. it ended up a little bit quieter too, but it still has solid engagement. i switched from the stock old style 114mm profile axle to the new 110mm in hopes of getting my s&m cymbal hubguard to fit properly. i can't wait for winter to give me a break so i can try it all out.

It just needs a few more mods (brake arm removed, homemade un-brake adjusted) and a Standard 24tpi axle then it will be laced and put on my Shorty.

Got my second flat in a week. Anyone else running Momentums that feels like they get flats more regularly?
if you keep getting flat's, wrap the inside of the tire with 2 or more layers of thick duct tape. It really works good, ran a bald khe street for a year like that with no flats at all and my driveway is about 500 meters long with a thorn bush next to it....good stuff

Tried to find the source of a slow puncture and failed. So annoying. Can't find air leaking anywhere, put it in water to look for bubbles and nothing.
maybe its the valve pin? or just the valve?

I rode it. Did a rocknroll-disaster-revert, if that is at all the correct terms for it. I was happy.
Rock and roll would be translated from the skateboarding as a sprocket to 180 back in. If you rolled up and landed on your sprocket, then went fakie and did the revert......... sprocket chunk to revert?
Can't wait for the shit talking replies...haha. But I just watched the Russell Wadlin pedal grind naming video and it has my mind working on overdrive on the trick name front. But the important thing here is that you were happy. And that heart warming bull shit is what it is all about!!

I rode a bike with 48's the other day. The stiffer wheels made it worth the extra bit of weight you add, in my opinion. It didn't seem crazy heavy or un ridable by any means.

hugh. we have some stuff in the shop. you know, having a rider owned shop within commuting distance could be handy at times... if it's 48 hole stuff you're looking for, i'll have a look tomorrow and since it's not exactly popular, i'm sure we could do you a deal dude. just ask you lunatic...
It's only a front hub that I was looking for off someone else. The only ones that seem to be possible to find would be gsports and that's still pretty difficult. If you had a ratchet or v3 cassette in 48 I'd happily snap it up once I get a bit of money.

I am sore as fuck though, and I love it. I'm sure I'm equally as sore from falling as I am from riding.

Hah I hope not! The guy dosn't even live in Hawaii but wants our area code......yeah I dont know. On a side note the seat is holding up great!
808
1. The penal code for disturbing the peace. Refers to the sound of bass from stereos.
2. Refering to an analogue synthesiser called a Roland TR-808 used in many 80's tunes.
3. At times a reference to Hawaii's area code: 808.

1. The penal code for disturbing the peace. Refers to the sound of bass from stereos.
2. Refering to an analogue synthesiser called a Roland TR-808 used in many 80's tunes.
3. At times a reference to Hawaii's area code: 808.
Alaways a reference to Hawaii,....these guy wants to copy they exact same thing I did the hell....and his name is surfer79 so I assume it is because of Hawaii...such bs get your own ideas bitch...some people.

James, do you only do custom covers with bases you have or will you let people send you their seat/foam to be recovered?
if it happens to be a seat i do not have... I like to use new seats cause typically a seat is pretty nasty under the cover once it has been used for a while. I don't mind doing a seat for someone who wants to hold onto a seat that is not readily available anymore though

I break pivotal bases like crazy because I tailwhip like shit so I used the Animal Bikes padding and cover on an Odyssey Senior2 base which has beefed up plastic braces so it's tough enough to handle my sucktitude..
If I could get it recovered I'd try to get new foam and strip the whole thing down and clean it before sending it off because sending you an ass sweat harvest is pretty fucked up.

Umm been running the burns bars since they came out in Australia. So guessing since August or so. Saying that I prob ride one or twice a week and I'm not ultra hard rider pretty much nibbling. But I've talked to Jamie mauri ex bonedeth and jay Wilson current bonedeth and they have t had any drama's, yes they where/are sponno'd so might be biased info. I've bent the left side of the bars back. I can't feel it but can see it very easily
Ask Abe/big Ben he's a harder rider than me could give you a better run down

Are there a lot of front brake users on the board? I was just thinking today that I needed to see if there is a "riders with glasses" appreciation thread as well as a list of members on the board who use front brakes. I know Paranoidmexican gets down as well. And mattchu too!

wandering around the backstreets of SF we found this area
(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9043/120401002.jpg)
which also had giant pools of glass
got a giant shard in the microknobbie and put in a new tube and threw a fit faf in the front
then my rear wheel started feeling lumpy and before i could even stop and look down at it, my tioga powerblock sidewall blows out. so i put in a fit faf and another tube in the rear.
rear tube patch job blows a leak.
put in another rear tube and super sketchy old patch job that has been holding for a while... stops holding
and as of right now i have a big goathead in my front tire but its still holding air :/
my bike also feels heavy as hell with those fafs, fml, my arms are dead

Back wheel is 36 down to 28 spoke (snapped another last week) when I went to check realized most are on the same side, one after another.
Going to have to take the whole thing off and pretty much rebuild it.
What a pain in the ass.
Straddle cable looks haggered but no one seems to sell them online.
Also regretting buying purple pedals and grips ages ago. I want them black now but im not wasting money on cosmetics.

I think he may need to be careful, I have almost the same tire set up as him(but a KHE street), I almost pay too much attention as what is on the ground in front of me.

Rode home and bombed down a pretty large hill on a busy road under construction. I was nervous I was going to get run off the road and into a sign or something. But I then realized I needed to slow down because I am starting to pass the cars. As I was passing one car the guy yelled "I'm going 30, you're hauling ass". So I would say I was cooking pretty good in that crammed area.

Spokes came through! Replaced 8 broken and one that looked like it was on the way out.
I had to guess what I was doing based of what I had done years ago but I think it worked out ok.
Thankfully I chucked a spare tube on the order as low and behold I gave myself a snake bite putting the tire back on (Taking that fucker on and off was the hardest part)
Gave the hub a clean up, sorted the headset and tuned the brake (still needs work but itll do)

Not out yet, but should be sometime this summer. Sorry to be so vague about release date but that is all I have for now. You know I won't leave you dudes hanging and will spill the beans on this hub as soon as I can.

I measured my 4pc Federal 20/20s. I thought the 4pc version of the 20/20 were only made in 8" rise? Mine came out to 8.25. My Tree Branches felt a little smaller with I switched them out. I hope I can cut them soon because I like how solid they felt.

I just measured my Federals and they also have an 8.25" rise. I also suspect that they are considerably lighter than Federal's specification suggests.

My bike should be together shortly.

I got new shoes AND pedals today. I have run nothing but Eastern pedals for 6 years, and I got a pair of Odyssey Twisted PC's that make me feel like I'm clipped in... this could be an interesting 420 Dilly Jam
Are you saying the Eastern pedals are not grippy?

When you do a ton of pedal grinds not many pedals stay super grippy. but actually due to the concave design a lot of the knurling is still used for traction… and Eastern didn't have any when they sent me more propaganda for my biased bicycle so I grabbed what was at my shop

My car got broken into last weekend and my car is in the shop right now getting fixed and I definitely forgot to take my front wheel out of my trunk. No bikes for me for at least a week.
Couldn't you just drop by and pick up your wheel?
As for myself, I fixed my blown headset and cleaned all the rain off it when I got home.

that sounds awesome, we should ride in a few days and check that out. my goal tomorrow is to strip my fork and crank arms. then by the weekend i'll try to get the frame prepped for spraying. then it's time for 4 pegs, a functioning hubguard, and better brake setup. linear cables and i do not get along. i think it's just my superhuman kung fu grip, since i almost broke the housing apart with the first pull of the lever.
It's pretty sick I'll snap some pics of it tomorrow of its not shitty out.

not having a $5 front wheel that wobbles so much it hits your forks is amazing!

Also to a crack at that gap I spoke of before. Didn't clear the sidewalk but I didn't fall so it's just a matter of shooting off and setting up for this in the short period of time you have coming off the downhill curve. Here's what it looks like.

Not the first owner, i traded my strands for these a while back and they were only a month old. Maybe they can do a crash replacement? I dunno about forks. I know this has happened to these more than usual. Maybe my lbs can deal with it.
Just find some used Odyssey Dirt Forks in the Sell/Swap and never worry about your forks again.

Went out for my third ride of the year afterwards and after just a couple 180s and manuals I snapped the chain... Sucks cause there is no good bmx shops near by, especially cause I need a half link. I seem to go through chains faster than fucking grips.

Thanks! I really love how this stem looks, especially when matched with a Tree cap. It could be sitting totally flush if I trim my forks down a little bit. I'm real lazy about that though, so it'll probably stay this way for a while.

Ripped the back wheel off, stripped it down ready for a new tire whenever I get one.
Cranks were creaking aswell so had them off and jigged it about, gave them a clean and moved some spacers about and its all good again.
Took the pegs off just to make it easier to move/shove in the storage space it lives in.
Considered taking the tire off the front and moving it to the back so most of the annoying shit like chain tension and brakes were sorted but changed my mind as sods law id rip the tube or fuck up the tire in the process and be even more stuffed!

This setup is in my friend's backyard... super tight and tech and nothing is huge. All the berms are epic. He is really good at digging berms and bowling out the flat bottoms. Most of the local pros pass this spot by because there isn't anything bigger than 5'5" lip by 9' gaps. You can ride here all day and not get tired of it there are so many options.
To get through the lines without pedaling you really need good bike control to be able to carve deep into berms and pump. OPTIONS man!!!!

Ohio. It is fun and there is so much going on packed into a small space that it makes it a challenge. Really good to hone your skills on. Pretty much everything can be ridden backwards too. So you can do loops out and back and pump up to the rolling and start again. Two main lines both can be linked and each one has about 3 variations. We have a wallride planned for the step up that will open up another line!

fixed it with a glueless park patch from a stranger who then said "that patch isnt gonna hold" and what happenes? the patch doesnt hold. thanks for nothing, bro.
also bombed some sweet hills this weekend including taking a free bus up to UC santa cruz, bombing down and arriving at the bottom of the mountain at the same time as the bus.... a couple of times.

So... I noticed a car with a door open pulled over to the edge of the parking lot where the entrance to the trails is (they are on state land behind a shady shopping center and high rise apartments)... a man and a woman were coming out of the brush going back to the car. Seemed odd... went back the jumps... came back out of the woods 10 minutes later and a she had another business looking dude in the bushes giving him a bj.
Nice a prostitute working within 100 yards of the trails. Well I guess it is a matter of time before they get shut down now. They have been running almost 3 years...

Went out to a trail spot 1.5 miles from where I work... we got a lot of rain today. I wanted to be able to gauge how well they drain so I know when they are ridable based upon puddle sizes along the road.

The small patch of woods where the trails are... are sandwiched between a spooky hr geiger esque high rise bombed out apt building and another apartment building that looks like it would be on a Beck album cover from the 90's. Lots of sketchy meth people around and a couple pimps. I ain't gonna fuck with them. Literally or figuratively.

Aggie from Federal hooked up a whole bunch of their new wax to try out. I know its just wax but the thought that went into making this stuff is impressive, the 2 sides for rails and ledges and the fact that it fits in your pocket is neat. I'm going to have to get over screaming at rollerbladers for waxing ledges now...

Is there a trick to staying over the coping? I tend to do fly out 180 downside whips whenever I try them.

My Marmoset is tightening really stupid in my forks. I have dual knight guards on it. When i tighten it one of the guards is fine but the other acts like a screw and pushes my wheel to the other side, like really bad. It doesn't do it when i put the wheel on backwards though. I would like to keep the knight guards on but don't know what to do. Only things i can think of is dishing the wheel to the other side or taking my tire off and putting it facing the right way with a backwards wheel. pls help
Fixed that problem today. I trued my wheel so it's in line now and doesn't hit. Went to ride it then my ratchet skipped, took my wheel off and lubed my driver up. Noticed the helicoil coming out so i clipped the part that i could not push back in but while i did that ,even more helicoil came out so i had to push it in with 2 screwdrivers. My bike feels nice kind of.

My axles always seem to crossthread and its a pain putting on hub guards and shit. I also put a new coat of flat black on my forks and added a 2mm spacer. Shit is rocking right now. Also put on 4 pegs.

Park looks fun.
Decided I need to repaint my cranks and front wheel, get some new grips and pedals and that I want to strip the anodizing off my sprocket.
Shame I cant atleast take the parts off and strip them for fear that Ill get asked to ride tonight :p

Love how people try to act like WD40 is useless, just to try catch people out.
WD stands for water displacer so it is in fact the opposite of a lubricant. WD40 is helpful in some applications but is for the most part something that doesn't need to be close to a bicycle.

Im guessing its the heat? checked the tube and it looks like how it comes out of the packet. Never seen a tube come out like that before.
What are the odds the air has just leaked out totally as I cant see any damage and I crushed t as much as I could underwater (no pump) and didnt get any bubbles..
Annoying as fuck though.

I'm trying to save time to focus on making the most of our time with the rented Cat so I'm building the trick booter at my house.
Right now it sits at 4ft tall with an 8ft radius. I still need to add the top 2ft for a grand total of 6ft. I also need to cross brace it and add the back-half framing.
We'll be launching into a dredge spoil/sand setup for a soft landing to learn tricks into.
I'm building this thing solo in my garage so I tried to do a little "self photography" work with a tripod and point and shoot.

Yep. Zane's got it. There is no surface. I just rolled it on my BMX bike and it's nice and smooth even with 100psi in the tires.
I'll grab some pics of it completed once I yank it out of the garage to load it up.

I'll help. What hub & frame?
Post by: Austin Tasseltine on June 06, 2012, 11:23:26 PM
its a v1 fit hawk (that was fucked anyway, dents all over, rewelded tt/ht), federal 9t coaster (with primo dsg which doesnt help the chainline as it pushes the driver inwards a bit), and a 30t mds with extra guard.
hammered the cs in a bit for some extra clearance, chainline is a bit better now at least (hopefully my chain will stop kinking up), but the sprocket still only clears by a gnats cock
i was thinking of buying a new frame soon but i dont know what would be compatible with my favoured sprocket setup besides another sunday (lots of clearance with a wishbone). i really wanted an sta though dammit
Post by: weedbix on June 06, 2012, 11:29:57 PM
You'll need to measure BB width and dropout-to-teeth on the coaster (probably 68mm & 13mm respectively but confirm it anyway) if you want to work it out anyway

The Harrington is nearly done, I'm just waiting on the sprocket and rear cog to arrive.

Removed decorative alloy cones from my front Hazard hub cone nuts so I don't have to remove wheel to adjust them (as I did with the original cone nuts it came with that got wrecked)
New grips yet to come, probably my old 28t to give my knees a rest from 3.33:1, and possibly swapping my old bars back in

Thanks. But it's been about 6 years since I owned some ody forks and I'm really diggin the f25s. Kinda waitin to see if they come in white or something
Sadly the F 25's will probably only ever come in black. There are enough people buying front brake forks to make them, but not enough people buying them to make multiple colors.
bmxelement - front brake brotherhood!!!! I liked the switch from my Classic Freestyle forks to the F-25. Felt like I gained just a tad more control on a few of my front end tricks.

Cleaned them all. mtb derailleur bits are such a faff to clean, too many little tight spots that collect shit.
If your pulling the derailleur off the bike there is a super simple way to clean them.
Grab a crock pot from a thrift store on the cheap, fill it with water and a little dish soap, not a lot, just a couple drips. If you have grease cutting dish soap use that, but anything will work. Turn the crock pot on low and drop the derailleur in.
The warm slightly soapy water will make grit and grime that's been caked on for years wipe right off.
I'm too cheap to buy a proper solvent tank for my garage(I've got one at work though if I REALLY need to use on). So I use the crockpot method for small parts. Some parts are too big for the crock pot, so I have a big 10 gallon storage container with concentrated simple green and a fish tank water circulator in it for big part.
Between the two, parts cleaning is super simple and easy.

then i got home, smoked a bowl to feel less murderous and got out everything i need to set up a different pair of brakes since these the fly brake arms i'm running keep slipping with the brake pad fully tightened down. plus the pads were toed in so that the top of the pad had about 2mm of space when the bottom of the pad hit the rim and they still chattered and vibrated loose. i haven't checked my spokes, but i bet i'm gonna need to true the rim where the pad snagged. i figure i'll put my evo2 on, then at least i'll have a functioning brake that won't lock up my rear wheel the same way 2 times in a week leaving me an easy target for grimy ass scumfuck bike thieves.

I woke up this morning and headed out the door to go take some measurements for the new bike shop we're starting and see that I've left my new wheel leaning against my truck tire all night right next to the sidewalk.
I rode BattleGround/Vancouver yesterday on my trails/DJ/bike, I didn't want to run the knobby Aitken that was on it in the park so I grabbed the wheel I laced up the other day that had an Aitken street tire on it and swapped them out when I got to BG park.
When I got home, I took the wheel out of my turck, set it down and unloaded the rest of my gear. I was tired, and fell asleep early and clearly forgot the wheel outside. Luckily no one in my neighbor hood decided they needed a brand new Marmoset laced to an Envy front rim with DT Swiss double butted spokes. It sat outside for 14hours, plain as day, and easy grab. Luckily, all my neighbors are old folk who don't have a clue about bike gear and theft is extremely rare.
I'm headed back down to the shop to take shipment of our counters/displays now then it's back home to build up my T1 Ruben!

when i relaced my marmoset, i fucked up by not keeping the original lace pattern. the outer grind spokes had formed indents in the hub flanges, and if i had repositioned the new outer spokes along the same indents, the spokes would have had less to aluminum to bend around after being smashned by the gland which was smashed by the ledge i was grinding... i dont even comprehend mh text anymore
i also dont like going from
48mm primopro topload stem > 50mm odsy stem
27.5x8 slams > 28x8,25 lumberjacks
feels heavier (even though it should be lighter)
w/ that extra .25in it seriously makes it about 5x as hard to xup, wtf
and that extra reach omfg i cant stand it. i cant explain it but it feels like shit

Covered for the 4pc to challenger trend. Now I just need to get some f25's and new front wheel and left brake lever

Drilled out the top cap of some P.O.S. forks with 990's to fit this awesome front brake set up I've barely got to use.
Replaced the cable wire in my Nokon cable.
Set up my front brakes.
Got blisters on two of my left fingers.
Rebuilt my KHE Geisha Lite freecoaster and reduced the slack.. Still need to find my spoke tool to finish that up..
Up next will be cleaning and rebuilding the hubs.. then cleaning out the frame and setting up new cranks..
My bike got completely submerged in some awesome salt water so now I get to tear the bike apart and clean all the rust/bearings/bullshit.

Re adjusted my headset so it didn't feel like shit.
Built my KHE Geisha lite up to a 48h Hoffman Generator and I'll get to play with that when I sort out my cranks.
Besides that, it's not what I did to my bike but what my bike did to me.. which was give me a peg to the shin while I was wearing shorts so it busted open and bled all over the friggin' place.

Back pedal? What are you not getting?
Way easier than peg feebles. Go FAST. Keep front tire going straight forward Push down hard on foot. Stay off sprocket/chain/shoes.

I've got a couple of folding tires I could give you a deal on. Odyssey dirt path klyte 2.20 and a folding ghl-r 1.95. The Odyssey is only a few weeks old and has like 99% tread and the animal is a couple months old and has about 90%. 35 shipped for both?

Hoping for a big difference going from a 36t/13t freewheel setup, to a cassette. Probably a lot lighter as well, since currently riding wheels of a 6-7 year old Wethepeople Compete.

Laced up the wheel for my flat bike project. Front hub is on order. Hope to be popping some wheelies by next weekend.
Odyssey Aerospace rim laced to KHE Geisha Lite (special shout out to Bunky Master Flex!!). The rim is the "deep purple" color. It essentially looks black until the sunlight catches it just right. It is really hard to get a picture to turn out. That was the best one I could get. Super rad looking rims through. I recommend them to anybody who likes the aero style rims.

Stock 2pc Strip bars, just custom powder coat. 8" rise, 28" wide, 10 degrees back, 2 degrees up.
They have the bars in stock, I just have to wait until the next batch of that color goes in for powder.

Went to the skate park and tried working on airing quarters a little. This is best I could get without getting sketchy in the air. Any tips for airing higher? It's scary going at a quarter pipe fast haha.
my advice would be learn on a big quarter but that one doesn't look a bad size. its also good in a pipe because you build up speed without realising as you do them so you go faster

freecoaster, plastic pegs (not impressed) and some fatty tires. Didn't get to fully ride as I'm injured (ribs are fucked) and the park was packed with small african americans running all around.

Hop earlier than you think you should and try to table into the wall,bend your knees a lot on impact so you can extend them and hop off of the wall.

you definetly don't need to do a table while trying to wallride, that will probably fuck you up. you need to tilt yourself with the bike, but the wallride is about crashing in the wall diagonally, not only tilting yourself, if that kinda makes sense.
i can wallride this at at my local to a fairly excepatble standard, but i'm trying it on a normal brick wall, tomorrow i'll give it another attempt

icepick chinked a bunch of metal gutters built into some curb cuts on the sidewalks, and then tightened up my headset from nosediving a curbcut and then hitting a downhill cobblestone brick street at high speed. i found a sweet tree stump sub-box kind of thing on top of this dirt bank near some library or church or something. i need to bring a can of bug spray to kill these shitty huge ants, and maybe a little shovel or something to help shape the lip up to the tree stump. i can't wait to fuck with it. it's been years since i've had a fun sub-box kind of thing to do stalls and shit. can't wait to fufanu it or ice to fakie. i'll post a pic to the local spots thread once i fix it up a little bit. maybe if i do that it'll inspire me to fix up some other spots around town. a little quikrete here and there, some wax possibly.
Btw tremont has rideable banks they're just blocked off from the construction they are doing for the new bridge.

The first Bluebird I've had that's been gold (matches half link colour) and I'm running a gearing I don't need a half link for. Stoked to have a spare unworn half link anyway as I have a billion spare lengths of 510 links and make new chains out of it from time to time
Brakes are going on when I CBF. I already have all the mounts/guides/gyro plate/gyro installed so I don't have to do it when I get around to putting the brakes (plural) on. The gyro is tied to the gyro plate so it doesn't rattle around while I'm getting around brakeless

I've always hated the way medium levers feel stock. I always take a wrench and put a nice curve in it. It feels better when its on the bend of the bars as well.

The one that goes to the west entrance of my job is dangerous since it goes right into a haul road and it's bumpy as fuck. The other one is to the east main entrance and it has a blind curve but it's smooth. And the one coming from the opposite end of the east entrance is just a straight shot down hill but the train tracks make it dangerous.

the brakes haven't happened yet. they more than likely will though, just to play around. wouldn't mind fuf'ing something. pegless came about out of boredom and to try and "de-rutt" my riding. really enjoying it to be honest, though you can't beat doing a rail or some sub box action.

If that Mosh hub uses the same axle/hardware as a sealed Suzue/og Vandero it should fit.
Removed my 30-10 and went back 28-9 in anticipation of my new wheels.............. expensive drivers suck.

I've been trying to put new tires on my road bike and I keep getting pinch flats just installing the fucking things (I am using a Quik Stik). Wheels are 27", tires install fine without the tubes but when tubes are added to the mix it's like they are too fat.
Please enlighten my dumb ass.
Install without tools.

Quote from: Ralph Wiggum;3587201
I had a Carlos kind of night. Was going to go for a ride on the DB24 and discovered the front tire was flat. Drove to the bike shop and got a tube. Installed the tube and headed out. Made it a little over a mile before I heard a hiss hiss hiss coming from the back end. Ran over a fucking nail just long enough to puncture the tire/tube. Since the puncture was so tiny I was able to make it home before it went completely flat. Went back to the shop and bought two tubes, installed the rear tube and decided to drink beer instead of going for a ride.
I feel ya, that's how it is down here in Mexico sometims! I threw away so many tubes back in the day before I realized patching works great.

I only patch in an emergency. Whenever I'd try to patch to save a tube and continue riding it, the patch would always fail at the most inopportune time. Yet I had friends that could run tubes with a dozen different patches and never have any of the patched areas fail. :dunno:

The only patch I've ever had fail is one of the self adhesive ones. That was only because it was a cheapo supermarket brand shit one. Patching tubes is like the first thing you learn how to do to your bike, surely?

Hand rails. I never do them and always seem to think I can but I never try. I like grinds but I'm just not good at them. I am good at some grinds on small ledges but when they get about stem height I can't connect. Plus I get bored of grinds because I can't do anything out of them.
Maybe I'll get more comfortable on my frame and can manage to get over some hurdles. But yeah I have a love hate relationship with pegs.

Rode a concrete skatepark for the first time. I enjoyed riding the hips but the rest was a bit meh, small ramps so probably made more for skaters than bikes. Loads of foot high ledges for long high speed feebles.. Taking my pegs off as I completely overdid those today. Decided I only really enjoy riding trails now though, too many skaters and scooterers with no park etiquette. Considering selling the bmx because trails are rideable on my mtb :\ Gonna clean up the road bike today, its filthy.
Street on a MTB feels so goofy though.

Did this a few years ago due to complete laziness, works amazing considering how little work it takes.

Haha! Yeah, that was me. Early monday morning I was just minutes away from placing an order for a tan one through blackout, but I decided to check T1's website first for the freaky-friday update. I'm super thankful that I did, because this thing to me is one beauty of a bmx bike.

I love my SFA, i got this/last years model direct from Joe. I bought it for a trails bike & have gradually been piecing it together, waiting on a cyclops stem & then im gunna get some new forks, a brake set up & probably some 8.85" T-1 bars & it'll be pretty much complete. On the other side of that ive got a Custom FBM coming which is for Flatland/Street which is worlds apart from the long, stable & smooth feeling SFA.
PS.. Bike Check! :)
That sounds so badass, man! Joe has always been awesome whenever I've purchased frames/etc. from him in the past, and this time was no different. I'm super pumped to have another T1 frame with welded mounts, and to have supported one of the best dudes in bmx. A bike check may happen soon, depending on when I can get out my camera.

How did you get that paint job like that? Curious your method. The smoke appearance looks really awesome. I <3 spray painted bikes.
I put a few coats of gray primer on the frame/fork/bar and a friend airbrushed all of the detail on with a bunch of stencils he had for splatter detail. then put an entire can of matte lacquer on it.

Currently putting some Tree 9" bars on, along with chopping down my non-front brake forks, and then going over to the skatepark to get some riding in. Stoked.
Where'd you get them bars?
I'm curious what the difference is between the new "Moto" bars and the Sequoia bars, because it looks like both are going to come in 8.5" rise...

9" bars, are they out then? Or did you get some special hook up? i cant imagine 9" rise bars i cant get on with anything over 8" myself!
I started working at Tree a bit over a month ago, and was lucky enough to start just as new parts were coming in. The bars aren't out yet, but if Sam is happy with them and the dudes like everything, then things should be flowing quite soon. I snagged these sample 9"rise/4*up ones earlier today because we didn't need them for any team/photo stuff.

I guess the most notable difference is the more traditional box shape. They aren't as tight as the Sequoias were, but thankfully they don't look like just another huge slam bar copy. They come in three sizes (8.5"x28.5", 9"x29.5, and 9.5"x30) and all of them have cut lines, come threaded for bar ends, and they are all still available in either one or four degree upsweep.
I went from uncut Sequoias, so before I went out to ride I cut my 9"s down to 28.5" wide, and chopped close to half an inch off my non-front brake forks. I only got two hours in at the park tonight, but I like the way they fit/feel on my bike so far.

Can't wait, will definitely be fitting a set of the 9"x4° up on my bike. Can you cut them to 27.75 and still have threads for the barends?

Yeah, you should be able to do that no problem. The threads went in pretty far on my pair still, and thats only 3/4" difference to what mine are currently cut down to.

No word on when they'll be available for purchase yet, but if I remember, I'll ask Sam about them tomorrow. I know we took some photos of all the bars last week. More info will be out there soon.
Glad you dudes like them!

You'd better pick up some bearings for that remix while you can, those things won't last long.

It uses 6802s in the shell, the same bearings usually used in drivers, if you're careful they might survive, but it's probably best to have a set of bearings on hand...
where do you take this information? i have a remix. haven't done a singe fucking thing to it for over a year. did a huge 180 drop and messed up my back real hard, my ribcage got heavily out of true (broke like 4 spokes or something). not a damn thing happened to the hub. not to mention all the other stuff i have done and just daily rididing/commuting. so please, if you don't have any personal experience then stfu :) no offense though, im just saying.
i must say it skips sometimes though and that is kinda annoying. its nice and clean and on the inside and the all the springs seem to work well, dunno why its doing those small skips sometimes. still a pretty good hub though, it isn't very expensive and all the replacement parts are cheap too.

I'm not saying the Remix is weak, or even that it's a bad hub, I'm saying that 6802 bearings are tiny, and in most cases, are really not very durable at all.
A friend of mine got a remix shortly after they came out, and if I remember correctly he was on his 3rd set of bearings when he got rid of it recently.
If you don't get any dirt or sand in there they should last most people a while, but I guess I'm just butthurt that Primo made such a shitty move with the bearings.

eh, i must say i wanted to buy the og mix but it was sold out. the bearings are fine like i said but it kinda rolls slow. when im riding it, it feels good, but when you spin the wheel in hand it is kinda slow. but meh, since it hasn't given me any headaches and the driver bearings are perfect, i'd say it's a decent hub. always could be better though.

I have fucked wheels up hard before, i've owned various mixes in the last 5-6 years and can definitely vouch for their durability. I just jumped at the chance of getting an up-to-date wheel at a good price.
I'll just be careful with it and check all the bearings every few months, it can't be that bad and bearings are cheap anyway I daresay.

Well, I waited for parts to pop on craigslist that I wanted, then I would buy them.
I think I can go through most of it off the top of my head:
Wheels = $50 +$3 for 3 replacement spokes, craigslist
Tires = $25 each, wholesale
Tubes = $10 each, retail
Cassette & Chain = $40ish, retail hookup
Crankset & BB = $65, craigslist
Pedals = $80, wholesale
Bar Tape = $15, retail
Frame, Fork, and Seat post clamp = $120, Craigslist
Stem = $20
Bars = $25
Shifters = $135 for the set (Ultegra Rear and 105 Front), Craigslist
Derailleurs = $30 for the ultegra rear, $10 for the Dura-ace front
Seat Post = $100, retail
Headset = $50 retail
Seat = $80 wholesale
Cables = $20
Which would come out to about $900, but keep in mind I've been building this over two months, tires, tubes, stem, bars, pedals and seat I already had, and a lot of this stuff came with extras, so I have extra Front derailleurs now, and couple little nick nacks. I enjoyed meeting all the random roadies on CL most though.
Also, keep in mind that I may have spent $900, but there's a lot of parts on here way better than what you'd find on a $1600 ride.

Similar situation here, I work 50-60 hour weeks (second shift), so that pretty much kills my week except Sundays. Thankfully I start a new job on Monday. Salary position, 1st shift hours and more free time....... I can't wait. More time to ride and finally finish some work on my house.

What's a custom standard go for if you don't mind me asking?
Post by: Austin Tasseltine on October 11, 2012, 07:12:43 AM
I also originally enquired about custom standover height ($45) cos the new style STAs from a couple of years back were real low, but the newer version has a better standover. im kind of torn cos i like a short backend but i also like running my bashguard on the inside which doesnt allow for much clearance unless the frame uses a wishbone design (like a sunday) so i dunno.
I really want an STA but to get it how i want is gonna cost a lot. The guy i was talking to suggested getting a juke, maybe a juke with the classic standard gusset would be a good compromise

Originally made in the USA but supposedly the majority of them broke so they switched production to Taiwan.
Theyre about to change the shape, I was on the fence about ordering them but the new ones look real crappy compaired to the originals, so the current model was ordered.

Wroked on the road bike a little instead. New tube, adjusted some stuff since I finally have about 100 miles on it.
Looking forward to Monday. New job, will be off work by 5 daily, so I should be able to ride all of the bikes a LOT more.

I haven't had any issues. I'm running 180mm cranks too. However I do ride left foot forward and x-up to the right. I'm too much of a puss to try barspins, so as far as I'm concerned the foot/tire clearance is good.

I have not gotten it checked out, the swelling has gone down quite quickly as has the bruising. There is just a little resonating pain and swelling but overall its not too bad.
Was the pain terrible with the bone and ligament gone? because I'm not in all that much pain about a week later

Cut the lugs off & removed brazed part of the nut as it was going to be Tig welded on. To gain the height back on the mount we welded the cut down mount to a nut (the same final height as before) & then moved the mounts 13mm closer to the seat tube (to where they should be)
No mounts

There goes my rear roll cage.
I won't guess at warranty since we have an Odyssey employee on here, but just because it has this hole, there is no reason to retire the rim. I had a hole like that in my 7ka for years and it had no effect on anything. I later sold it to a kid that is really abusive and eventually it cracked at the weld, but the hole never got worse or caused a failure.

(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff195/Back2Bmx/20121025_075307.jpg)
Pretty certain that wouldn't be anything covered under the normal warranty. From the picture it appears that there was some sort of impact that caused the hole. You can email warranty (at) odysseybmx.com and he can give you the final answer. Might be worth sending his way just to see what he has to say.
Did you hit it on an upright on a rail or something? That is a crazy looking hole.
I laced up a wheel once and cased the shit out of it first run at the skatepark. Completely ruined the rim... I feel your pain.

I've seen a dude do this to a Hazard Lite rim by clipping the corner of a ledge real hard. He rode it for nearly two years after that just fine.

the only thing I could think of as to how it happened was, the other night I was trying a thread the needle Ice Pick between a ledge and a barrier and got sent. I thought my peg had caught the end of the ledge, I guess not.
Yeah its a bummer. I might have to lace up my old 7ka as that is the only rim that has held up in the rear for an extended period of time for me.
BTW Pegs, wondering in a general forum without directly contacting the company only offers the opportunity for speculation.

I am fully aware of where fault lies when it comes to bike parts, I am no dumb 14 year old child. It was merely an attempt at a topic of conversation.

Man up and go for 36-11 or 36-12

Ha! If we had 36t bolt drive sprockets in stock (all Tree carries in house above 33t is spline drive only, and I'm currently on some Fly cranks) you could consider it done.

Did this to my rim sometime in the last time I rode. There goes my rear roll cage. Any idea if this would be a warranty-able? Shot in the dark, I am not asking Gsport to give me a new rim. Just wondering
(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff195/Back2Bmx/20121025_075307.jpg)
The warranty is against defects in materials workmanship that kind of thing, we are pretty generous with it, but there doesn't seem like a lot of doubt that an impact that can do that to a Rollcage would mangle pretty much any rim in a similar way (and many would fair much worse)...
Having said that, Logan (warranty at odysseybmx.com) is a super nice guy and he might well be offer you a crash replacement deal that will save you a fair bit of cash and get you rolling again, so worth hitting him up...

I've seen a dude do this to a Hazard Lite rim by clipping the corner of a ledge real hard. He rode it for nearly two years after that just fine.
my mate bought a second hand wheel with a gsport rim that had been clipped like this as well (not as bad as pats mind) but yeah he rode it for ages with no problems.
i had to take my gland off today cos its ruined. i landed on the edge of it a couple of times when grinding a square rail and it bent a bit, and one of the holes where you tie it to the wheel pulled through. since then the rest of the holes pulled through as well and the whole thing got bent over and totally fucked which is a shame. had a good 7-8 years use though, gonna have to buy some new ones

Closest you will get is a sunday 3rd wave. Runs 30t with space and fits huge tires. You might be able to fit a 33t without spacers.

if I did that to a rim myself I wouldnt even think about a warranty, it'd be my own fault fucking it up while riding
either way your fishing got you a bite so you might get a cheaper replacement, I still say just ride it though

Not for my bike....but I usually build up new wheels for everybody in the office. Here is my first ever ti spoke build. Odyssey Vandero 2 laced to Aerospace rim with G-Sport nipples. I used 182mm spokes. I also went with the G-Sport nips because I heard you have to really tension ti spokes. Laced up like a champ. This is probably the 4th or 5th Aerospace rim I have laced up. Really really digging this rim. Seems like once you get the spokes up to tension, the rim just goes straight.

So i tried the Stranger bars out today. Whilst my back loves them, I cannot get used to the height. Ive been running larger & larger bars & my hops keep getting lower & lower. So the Stranger bars are on my Marv, my mate rides it quite alot so i doubt he'll have the same issues i have. Ive just emailed Solid about getting some custom bars, theyre copies of the last bars i actually felt comfortable on & enjoyed riding with a little tweek of being slightly wider. Hopefully they will be able to do them & i shall be paying for them in a week or two after the FBM has arrived & all duties etc are paid!

Bought a new frame. Turned out to be off a complete. Absolutely screwing.
Painted forks & bars a random blue colour. Painted my frame a gunmetal grey type colour, after mixing a waterbase with a base coat. in the final stages of lacquering now.
Stiiiiiiiilllll waiting on my back wheel to come through the post. epic amounts of long.
Bought two new marmoset bolts so I can run 3/4 pegs again without the fear of a shitty bolt snapping in half and ending up looking like Tom. :rolleyes:
Haven't ridden in nearly two months. Very excited to say the least.

The last bars i ever really felt comfortable were Odyssey Civilian Highs but i bent them & had to throw them away in the end (before i really knew about odysseys great warranty) Over time ive got used to slightly wider bars, not a great deal wider than the Civilians mind, so 26" feels perfect to me. I think there are 2 or 3 handle bars under 8" now-a-days too so custom seems like the only way really.
winstanleys allegedly have them in stock still for 20 quid (http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/product/1021/Odyssey_Civilian_Bar_41Thermal). id ring up before you order though cos theyre notorious for listing shit they dont have in stock

Rode street with my best friends, and one of them noticed that I have a crack that runs halfway down one of my pegs. It's not even in my oldest peg either! Oh well. I think I'm going to flip my front tire so I can have what i s normally my left side guard on my right side, since my right guard is wayyyyy more worn down than my left.
i have a crack in my rear peg, but it's 6 years old, it's been there a while and nothing's happened. not too worried.

Found a crack on the frame. It was supposed to go in the paint booth tomorrow morning. The crack is where the seatstay meets the dropout on the drive side. The frame is 15 years old, so it is to be expected.
Emailed SBC so hopefully I can send it to get repaied soon.
Super bummed. If anyone has a good condition 97-98 Trail Boss hit me up.

i got the t1 ruben bars and a 2.25 FAF i ordered from empire, along with a dvd-r of the new VEIL bmx edit. gotta love the "bikeguide, i hold you forever true" hookup during checkout. i got a flat after putting the new front tire on, fixed that and then went on a 35 degree test ride to the atm and back. that's probably my 3rd or 4th time riding since hurting my wrist in august, then becoming sick for 4 weeks and being busy after that getting married. my legs felt like jelly tonight, so all i did was hop up 6" tall curbs and manual through leaf piles haha
i had a dream last night that i had relearned manual to 180s, so i feel like maybe it's time to start fuckin with those if and when the weather gets better. why did i ever leave california? it was 85 in my hometown yesterday

I've been trying to figure out why my zodiac cap keeps rubbing and I can't figure it out. Sucks because it looks awesome and I can use it.
that happened to me with my eclat headset, you just need to get some micro-spacers. The ones I have are basically like little paper thin 1 1/18 rings that go between the bearings and cap.

Don't the Zodiac spacers come with a bunch of little shims for this reason?
Plan B would be to just use sandpaper on a flat surface to make the lip a little shorter...

I went from from 4 steel pegs and a straight cable (26.2 lbs), to pegless brakeless and removed my hub guard (probably <24lbs). Put on new (2nd hand) tree sequoia bars (up from branch bars, .5" taller, 1.5" wider, angled further forward), with new long necks, new odyssey aitken railed seat, dropped my thomson post down about 3/4" so my seat won't touch the ground when the bike is flipped over (in an effort to make it last longer), new madera seatpost clamp (had to go buy a 3/16" allen as this is the only part in the world that uses this wrench), new stainless ceramic headset bearings (free 2nd hand off a road bike at work), new 9t driver for my ratchet hub (now running 28-9 instead of 28-10), new specialized compound 2.1 rear tire (about 1/2lb lighter than my old glh, and retails for $20), and did some touch up coats of paint on my frame.
it feels like a new bike. I'm loving the bigger bars for everything except tables so far. no handers are about 10x easier.

For hangers start low on the ledge and let the rear end come up if that makes sense. Gives you a longer grind, looks better, helps you find the balance point more.

Post by: CHROME_RIMS_YO on November 19, 2012, 02:39:52 AM
today it was decent so i actually took it out to the little prefab metal skatepark nearby. the place has a horrible layout, with no flow whatsoever so i was just hitting this one 4 foot quarter with all the basic lip tricks i could think of. then i ate complete shit on an abubaca which my tire slid off the coping and went to my back. absolutely shredded the top of my crack and lower back, so sitting down isn't so pleasant. after i took a break i tried again and pulled it.
the next little upgrade i've got planned is adding a front brake. i haven't had one since 1999 or so, and there's some banks downtown that i really want to no foot canadian nosepick. if this does happen then i'll make sure to get a photo.

I have a back wheel too, but 25-11 is not on the top of my list, primo pro to a hulahoop. I just want my old bike back.

I've tried using all 3 spacers that came with it and it still rubs. I'm not even sure where it rubs. I'm using the WTP headset which is similar to the eclat. I'll just buy a new FSA headset soon and it should work fine. I've had the wtp for like 2 years already anyway.

Nope. It works fine until I tighten up the compression cap. Then it starts grinding very little. Just enough to annoy me. I'm going to buy a FSA headset soon so I'll just throw it on then.

Those ti imperials aren't 15/16 bore, but luckily my friend has some power tools and a lot of patience.

And I could never run 165's,180mm are the bee's knees
Yes I did, and I do feel a loss in pedal efficiency. I very well may go back to my 170s soon, but I'm going to give it a little more time, just to see. Other than burning my legs up quicker, I've adapted to them in every other ay and could easily ride them full time now.
In the spirit of the thread, yesterday I tossed a very small spacer on under my stem to compensate for the amount that my feet being pushed closer put me more over the bike. Worked like a charm and everything felt like before with 170s, as general body posture goes.

Flipped my front tire so my less used hub guard could take the brunt of my abuse for a while, tapped my seat back down and put a sweet 25t ti imperial on to make my ratio feel better due tot he lost leverage with the 165mm cranks. Those ti imperials aren't 15/16 bore, but luckily my friend has some power tools and a lot of patience.

Ti teeth should outlast aluminum teeth, no matter what chain I use, I believe...
I've never had issues with that chain and my old sprockets, so I'm not sure why this would be worse.

Profile had issues with the KP sprocket being too thin and shattering and I don't think the Imperial is much different.. Profile also uses really fucking thin teeth and half link chains wear the hell out of sprocket teeth.
Pretty awesome sprocket though, I want to straighten a friends old KP for my flatland bike since it won't take much abuse.

it was largely cos the corners in the cutouts werent rounded enough i think-focusing stress into one small area which meant they eventually shattered. they were also really thin. the imperial design is better for resisting this i reckon cos its all circular(ish) cutouts

Installed my Crown Royal TL stem I got back from warranty. Looks pretty sweet, although my bars don't sit flush in the stem. There's a tiny space between the bars and the clamping area of the stem.
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

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:

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

Interested to see the seat, did you get the enclosed drop out forks?
It looks real subtle...sort of graphics that you wouldn't notice unless you were looking for them which I'm into, I don't like brands emblazened over my bike.
I went for the open drops, I have Profile titanium button head bolts and whenever I put my bike in the car I have to take the front wheels off so fuck unwinding them all the way out, I'd prefer the closed one but I do that too often to bother.
Quote from: Brooklynrider;3617440
I'm interested in how comfortable the tripod seats are compared to the tree. My native/tree seat is the most comfortable seat I've ever had.
I can't compare it to the native one but I've ran pivotals from Fit, MacNeil, Mutiny, Shadow and probably a few other brands which I thought felt right but the angle and the shape on the Tripod just feels so much better. I started with the steepest angle but changed it the next day to the mellow one. Both are sound to be honest but the mellow one is more normal.

Custom PiR Handle bars for the Flatland bike. Over the years i have tried numerous bars & got to know what sort of geo i like so they feature that obviously. The look is basically a KHE Swiss Miss bar/stem combo with out the built in stem. Theyre gunna be welded up shortly & the forks should be started pretty soon too!

Post by: sinkoman on January 17, 2013, 06:19:55 PM
I wasn't too bothered though, but when I bolted everything back up, I discovered that the hub was binding slightly. The ride into work today seemed to loosen things up a bit (yay bearings!), but I think it's just time to change out this hub. It's been 5 years and a tone of problems already, so i'm over it (great hub though).
Trying to decide now between a Primo Remix and the Animal Javelin.
In the process of fiddling with my wheel, I also discovered that my shadow chain has stretched so much that I can pop a whole 'nother link out! It's either that, or I didn't slam it properly when I first threw it on, but i'm 99% sure I did.
Still trying to decide if I should even bother taking the link out, or just leaving the back end long. I run 4 pegs, so not clipping my heel on the peg anymore is kinda nice, and my frame is a little on the short size anyways (20.5"), so I don't think the longer rear end will really make for a radically different feeling bike.
Anybody have any advice on hubs? Also, has anybody heard of a chain stretching by as much as an entire (half) link!?!?!
Post by: mrjimyjohn on January 17, 2013, 06:37:23 PM
What hub were you previously riding? If you grind a lot you'll probably like a Ratchet. If you aren't such a hack but you still want a good big axle try an Odyssey Antigram.
Primo Remix is shit IMO because it uses tiny fucking bearings, but apparently not all that many people hate it. Animal Javelin is nice if you want to go male, (for whatever reason, lol) I have a few friends riding them with no problems so far.

Only running 25/9, but maybe the stress from the smaller gearing is what caused the thing to stretch so much.
Now I gotta do epic battle with my bicycle OCD to determine if I actually want to take that extra link out!
The hub that's fucking up on me is a Primo Mix. I think it's a great hub, but i'm being 100% honest when I say that this thing has been nothing but problems since I got it. I've had all sorts of nasty issues with the cone nuts not staying put. They typically tighten themselves down when I bolt my wheel back up, which causes the hub to stop moving in either direction, so any back wheel fiddling becomes a nightmare. On multiple occasions they cranked down so hard that the spacer between the driver and hub shell bearings flattened itself out into an egg shape, rendering the entire hub useless until it was filed into an at least slightly circular shape, and some random washers were added to get the spacing back.
My choices are based mostly on what the LBS has in stock. They've got a Ratchet too, but i've heard a bunch of local hearsay about them blowing up, so i'm wary...

Quote from: mrjimyjohn;3625018
I assume by blowing up you're talking about the bearings? In which case I find that very hard to believe, as all the Gsport hubs have much bigger bearings than anything else on the market...
Well, to be honest, i'm not too sure exactly how it went bad. Like I said, it's all hearsay (IE "Yeah brah, I hear X Y and Z all broke theirs bla bla bla!!!") , so it's probably not fair for me to really slam the hub at all. I'm sure they're great, it might have just been one of the earlier ones (which I heard had problems).
I think i'm gonna go with the Javelin though, since I can get that + the guard (or the female axle kit) for close to the same price as just a ratchet. That, and they just look super slick too!

Only running 25/9, but maybe the stress from the smaller gearing is what caused the thing to stretch so much.
Now I gotta do epic battle with my bicycle OCD to determine if I actually want to take that extra link out!
The hub that's fucking up on me is a Primo Mix. I think it's a great hub, but i'm being 100% honest when I say that this thing has been nothing but problems since I got it. I've had all sorts of nasty issues with the cone nuts not staying put. They typically tighten themselves down when I bolt my wheel back up, which causes the hub to stop moving in either direction, so any back wheel fiddling becomes a nightmare. On multiple occasions they cranked down so hard that the spacer between the driver and hub shell bearings flattened itself out into an egg shape, rendering the entire hub useless until it was filed into an at least slightly circular shape, and some random washers were added to get the spacing back.
My choices are based mostly on what the LBS has in stock. They've got a Ratchet too, but i've heard a bunch of local hearsay about them blowing up, so i'm wary...
I've had pretty much every single problem you mentioned about the primo mix. The trick is to tighten the non-drive side first, then take an adjustable wrench and adjust the drive side locknut to your liking. After that, just tighten down the drive side and voila. It's a bit tricky to get it perfect but once you get it down, its simple. I've tried out so many hubs already and the primo mix is by far the best feeling. I'd recommend to just replace a few parts (should cost about 40 to replace all the hardware and axle) and stick with the mix. As long as you don't mess around with it, it's the best hub out there in my opinion.

And if your chain is that stretched its going to wear out your new driver real quick.

I made a thread not too long ago where I was having problems lacing up a fresh Ribcage to this same hub, and I was getting some bad tight/loose spots because the hub flanges are bent. There are actually stress fractures on the inside of the flanges. On top of that, it's been slipping A LOT lately.
I probably could just swap the axle and cones, get a new driver, and keep running this hub, but i'm over it already. I've been wanting a new hub ever since this one started giving me problems 3 or so years ago, so I think now's the time to do it.
(I actually just got back from the shop with the hub :P !!!)
Quote from: montymitch;3625082
I'd check out your dropouts. If you're having all these problems with your hub, Chances are good that your drops are messed, in which case it's not going to matter what hub you go with.
And if your chain is that stretched its going to wear out your new driver real quick.
It's definitely not the dropouts. This hub has been giving me all of the problems I mentioned for the past 3-4 frames (can't remember if I had issues on the first one I ran this wheel in), one of which was a Sunday, so i'm almost positive it isn't the drops.
You're probably right about the chain, but I think i'll take my chances... I think the 4130 driver will be able to hold its own against whatever grade steel the chain is for however long till I change it.
This sprocket's got a pretty bad hop in it too, which is probably what caused the chain to stretch so fast. I've got a brand spanking new Tree sprocket at the house though, so now that i've got a fresh driver, i'll probably throw that Tree in there with a new chain relatively shortly. I'd been avoiding the new sprocket since the driver's pretty badly worn too, and I wanted to just redo the whole drivetrain at once.

Hooked up the Chrome Kit. Had a toploader for a few years ago but never been stoked on the way they look. Picked up a pair of 9.2 WeThePeople Wham Bars and went down to a front load for effectively the same rise. Super stoked on how it turned out. Also after about 6 years of running a full set of pegs I decided to take em off. With 4 pegs being so saturated right now, thought it would be fun to switch it up. Loving it so far!
Full bike check coming soon.

If the part is anoed then there is a few ways you can strip it, The best way I have found is dollar store oven cleaner. spray the part let it sit for no more than 15 min and scrub the hell out of the part with fine steel wool and then rinse the part and repeat until the part is a dull raw color similar to this.
(http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k571/timc377/39218A54-3795-4B94-8AC6-E70F8C5F0671-9330-000001E5B84BCD36.jpg)

********Be careful not to leave the part in the oven cleaner too long because it can cause the aluminum to start to pit .
and then use some kind of polishing compound and a buffing ball or a rag.
you can keep polishing with the compound as much as you want.
This was my end result. but I could have kept on with the polishing but I was lazy and quit.

for example pipe cleaner works as well.
everything that includs sodium hydroxide (NaOH) works...
Quote from: G;3626452
You really shouldn't let oven cleaner get onto the bearing seats. It works by eating away the aluminium so you will be fucking up the bearing seat tolerances very quick. Decorative anodising (like hubs use) should buff off pretty fast with a polishing wheel and you are not going to fuck the bearing seats.
:)
G.
greasing the bearing seats helps ;-)
Edit: works with aluminium only

Quote from: Kinchy;3626465
While you are talking about anodizing, G, if I remove the paint off a 700c rim, and leave the bare alu, will it corrode or should it be ok?
On rims the eyelets will be in the way so you won't be able to do a nice job around them and they'll all have a halo of funky looking nastiness. On top of that the oven cleaner is a caustic soda that if you don't clean away totally will continue to eat at the metal until the caustic soda is used up. And the surfaces left behind are prone to the white corrosion that occurs with bare raw aluminium. For example, around the eyelets (again) or inside the channels of the extrusion where you can't rinse very well. If not rinsed well enough you run the risk of premature failure at one or more eyelets or in some other area due to more of the metal being dissolved than just the anodizing.

I fear I may have the same experience. Lubed it, spun it around, and when i let a crankflip rip it came around, but felt like I had a freecoaster on, like full force to kick a single CF. My buddy is real stoked on the chain and doesnt do that trick, so if it doesnt get better after a few rides I'll sell it to him.

Sure thing!
This was before I busted out the buffing wheels, so it's not quite as shiny as it is now, but you can still see some decent shine, especially on the rear triangle.

I was amazed how well that stuff worked, this was taken even before I could coat the entire frame! I went through about 3 pairs of gloves doing it though, haha.

I have it built up in my room right now, but the light outside is less than ideal. I'll get some better pictures tomorrow, maybe I'll post up bike check. :)
What did you use on your frame? Is that stuff available in Europe/Germany? I need to raw my frame as well.

The stuff I used was called "DS Super Remover". Trent recommended it to me, and I think it's only available in Canada, but apparently it's the same stuff as "Nitromors", which you might be able to get your hands on. It looks like this:

I've never had a problem with these brakes before. I emailed Joe already, hopefully once the barcodes come out I can get one with welded mounts. I'm riding front brake only for now, if i get a barcode i'm just going to give this frame to whoever needs it i guess.

Today I re-built the freecoaster hub to an Odyssey Hazard Lite rim, installed Primo Stricker PC pedals and prepared it to be ridden tomorrow.
The whole bike is REALLY nice for being "free".
As far as my bike goes, I pulled the wheels off and on between skateparks/heading home and I worked on 2-3 other peoples bikes today along with once again proveing that most of my local bike shop employees know jack shit about bikes.

No sanding at all it was rawed with stripper and I polished it up with fine steel wool and used mothers polish and a foam buffing wheel and went to town on it.

i wouldn't do trans red, blue, purple or green, then.
aslo, i'm not too much of a fan of painted forks and bars on a silver/chrome frame.
i would either strip and polish the forks and bars as well (would then look very similar to Tom's bike.) or keep the black forks and bars and paint the frame trans black/gray.
it's up to you, of course.
whenever i can't make up my mind about a color theme, i usually browse bmxmuseum for a bit.

Unstaple it and use a heat gun (or hair dryer) to get the vinyl nice and warm. Makes it a bit stretchy. Also if it's the mat backed vinyl you can peel that off to make it a bit easier as well. Once it cools it shrinks back a little.
:cheers:
ORRR take it to an upholstery shop, it's be like 10 bucks to recover and they have the special DEEP staple guns that can get in around the rails.

Doesn't your primate have standard 1 1/8 headtube? What you gonna do about the whole integrated race? Mechianix headset ?
From what I know, Deco forks do not have an integrated race. Even if they do, most standard headsets around today fit integrated forks.

profile sprockets won't fit on the 22mm cranks that i plan to get as soon as the 2013 ones are available. and to be honest, i'm a bit sick of seeing the imperial on just about every other build. also, you guys were right about profile stuff being expensive in germany.
i think i will go with a rennen sprocket. they look good and are only $50 shipped.

I threw a Vandero 2 guard on my front wheel a few days ago, and it's been spinning like shit ever since. It used to be that I could give my wheel a good spin with my hand and it'd keep going for a few minutes. Now it'll go around a few times and come to a stop. I'm fairly sure that the wheel bolts are a bit bent, so that could be it, because it spins just fine when the wheel is loose.

One arm was hitting the frame and when I bent the arm my brakes wouldn't work right. I put my old fly brakes on and all is well.
Midnight blue front brakes and levers, Ruben frame decal set applied. Pegs on soon enough.

Intrikat forks would be great, Chad has said on Global Flat they will come in chrome too so they would match your bars & look great with the red frame!
That's kinda my plan. Mostly because the painted forks are zinc underneath I have no option to weld. Don't really wanna match my cw tho so black hubs and rims. And a polished tree.

Oh and brand new 36h reloader.
Holler at me when you get the hub built up. I can give you the secret code to the custom bend job on the clutch springs for this hub. I got one of those NOS Reloaders a while back as well. Once I did the custom bend the hub worked like magic.

I finally retired my old pegs and put 4 lino g's on in their place. Here's a comparison between one of the old pegs, and one of the new, along with a before and after, thanks to my buddy's instagram.
Congrats on the upgrade, I can honestly say I'm not terrified for your life anymore

Sounds like a shitty cast stem pinched.
It's just a weird one-off thing I think. I've seen pinched stems come from lots of different companies.

I had thought that maybe you were filing the slot wider like TCBMX described OR doing something like this, but I was kind of hoping that you weren't doing what you did...
PLEASE dont run the stem like this, just warranty it.
If a stem has pinched then it has yielded. This goes for ANY pinch-bolt stem (or crank or brake lever or whatever), and ideally (in terms of safety) it should be replaced. In the case of Odyssey/Sunday stems we will happily warranty them (assuming that there aren't obvious signs of over-tightening abuse. Though to be honest if it has yielded like this then it has almost certainly been over-tightened, but we are pretty generous with the warranty).
Filing/sanding out the bore like this is a really bad idea. When the stem pinched the stem yielded and the hole effectively became larger (albeit with the slot closed up), by making it a bigger bore you are making things much much worse, it will now need to pinch closed even more to fit the steerer and the bolts on the back will be even more misaligned and likely to break and the stem will clamp less well and be more likely to slip.
I hope this makes sense and is helpful.

I didn't realize I could send it in for warranty. but... I also wanted to ride, which is far more important to me.

Post by: TheRadness on March 26, 2013, 11:09:38 AM
My issue with mine was a weird little seem in the steerer tube area that didn't allow it to slide down and clamp tight. Filed it off but it was odd.

Road street all day, bike was making a terrible noise. I ignored it like a retard. 180s onto a little loading dock, hang5 to 180, icepicks, Smith to feeble. All while my bike sounded like it was making a horrid sound. Was chilling at a spot when I randomly grabbed my pack peg, that shit was loose as fuck. Would have fallen off if it wasn't for the antiroll pin.
Friend loosened it at the meetup spot.

The way this bolt fits with the tree stem I'm running, you're fighting the clamping force of the collet while tightening the headset. It's not Ideal, and I probably should have just shaved a mm off the OD when I got the stem, but alas, I didn't. Either way, it still seems pretty stupid to use 6061 for a bolt.

You don't need to take the wheel off to patch... so it can sometimes be less hassle than changing the tube...

We have the same shit weather here in Iowa right now. Cold and drizzle/rain. Hopefully it clears up this weekend so I can get some riding time in on the new stuff.
Cut my new bars down a bit today. Good old Dremel Cut-off wheel took off 3/8" on each side pretty quick.
Time to pick up some beverages and do some house cleaning.

Also my already twice fucked knee is swollen and bruised as shit because 90% of yesterday I spent riding my ass off and bombing hills whistle getting hammered.
It was worth it.

So a few of you guys might know what this frame is & a few of you wont (and I'm not telling!) Its for my next build, i have a few parts for it & i will be ordering more in the next couple of weeks. Hoping it will be built for summer time riding! Right, my Lady is getting into the BMX stuff, watching Edits & looking at bike parts with me. She was looking on Ebay & found a company that made custom stickers. She didn't want to buy me any bike parts just in case they weren't right or i didn't want them. So she got me these! Pretty stoked on them actually :)

Stared at it longingly, I can't wait until this semester is over.
And bought a 10t driver off e-bay so I can finally run 30-10 and not hear my chain hit my brake post.
I need to start riding more, pedaled a couple times this week already(the only times this whole year). Summer session is going to prevent me from riding at all. A chemistry class from 7:30 AM - 2:00 PM M-T-W-TH plus working a job. No riding for that whole stretch.

As far as doing things with my bike, tires to 110psi and carve the shit out of the bowls tonight. Was amazing but after 5 months of not riding my cardio is pathetic. A few laps in the power inn bowl and I'm out of breath. Peg skills are almost all back.

Took off opposite side pegs since I haven't been using them lately. In the process I noticed my (front 2, out of 4) alu. pleg inserts were cracked in like 4+ spots... scary. The (monkey hub) washers had warped so much they were kinda in a cone shape and the female-style bolts were actually pulling the washer inside of the hole on the alu. insert, basically wedging the hole open causing it to crack apart. Coulda wrecked ma face pretty good I reckon.You could pick up marmoset collars for pretty cheap, they fit the monkey hub.

walked my mtb a mile up a trail called 'mile', finger checked if all my bolts were tight. one was kinda loose so i jam a twig in there and torqued it as hard as i could.
i guess it was hard enough to snap the bolt :(
rode down the hill but no sweet jumps :(
fuck, i cant believe my suspension relies on a fucking 5mm bolt. thats what i use to hold my fucking brake lever together, fuck
I also attempted to adjust my disc brakes and fucked the tiny thin brakepad spring. at least im learning to fuck it all up on something cheap.
actually it was gonna be my first time downhilling so i said fuck this and stopped walking, got bored and did a bolt check.

You definitely need to ride up the fire road if it isn't your first time riding that trail. Hiking up is a good idea when you want to check out what you'll be rolling over, but riding up takes so much less effort. Also, there are different trails you can jump on up there. Crack is pretty cool and XXX is fun with tight turns and some sweet jump sections. I am also 100% sure you can guess where those trails start if you ride up the fireroad - one of them is marked on the ground, the other is sort of a no-brainer when you're looking for a steep forested chutes that drop into the top of mile.

Picked up some Maderas as a replacement with a Ti spindle. However, the bolt won't go in one side...back to solid spindle for a minute.
Also, fresh paint, fresh jpegs and two folding tyres. Just waiting to order a plastic primo DSG and shit will be dialed.

I think those wheels will look fucking epic myself! What bike are they going on?
I'm not too sure what ill be putting them on it will either be my 21.15 T1 Ruben a 21.25 Mutiny loosefer or a 21.25 Mutiny Cosmotron or a raw 21.25 Mutiny Cosmotron Prototype. all the parts I have set aside for that build are all mutiny parts so I figure they will most likely go on the black cosmotron.

What real difference does that actually make with the doubled springs? Especially on a 6 Pawl hub with 50,000 points of engagement (lol) isn't that just abit OTT?It didn't make one bit of a difference.
I just thought I might try it out since I see people double springing their hubs all the time.
But since then I have taken them out and put them back in my other hub

Started chatting with him about it and he says he needs a new star nut, as the one in the forks keeps pulling up.
Told him that doesn't really do anything to keep the stem tight over time, just a set bolt.
Started looking at it, pinched stem and tapered/crushed steerer tube.
Serious fucking injury avoided, dude shreds and I cringe thinking of the million times that could have gone really fucking wrong.

Got around to the Home Depot and bought a bolt, nut and some washers for an improve bearing press. Installed the BB on my Beverage, then put it back in the box. One week from today I'm moving, so I'm just planning on riding the Forecaster till things settle down a bit. It's not like I have a lot of time to ride.

Yes, that stem looks great, and I like the idea of not going down with a stem, only to go up with bars. My bike parts budget is shot for the year, though.

Oops, didn't notice you said you already had both.. I'd say use the Sunday Freeze stem but it's a toss up.

New frequencyG rear tire
Took off the bare-plastic Nigel seat I was trying out for a few sessions and replaced it with my old MacNeil flatland seat. The underside grip was severely lacking and was very uncomfortable to rest my knee against while cruising. Now if only my cracked MacNeil seat will hold for just a few more weeks til I can get a new one back in Texas...
Cleaned and regressed the seatbolt and wd-40'd some rust off the inside seattube on my intrikat.

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.
Bummer, now for your next set you can appreciate a high quality spoke.

I got familiar with a new park and just forced myself to hit all the lines I was thinking about and pussying out on. Feels good.
On the other hand, I put on some Adam Banton grips since ODIs don't seems to ever break in for me and my dry hands. The Bantons are quite painful. If they don't break in soon, they are going in the trash.

Checked tracking numbers on a frame, wheelset, and some other parts for a bike I am putting together. Have to make sure I am home to get the packages so my wife does not see that I have purchased another bike.No friends house to get stuff delivered to?

Earlier in the week I painted it, trued the wheels, cleaned everything up, regreased all of the threads, relubed the brake cable, patched the rear tube, and put on a new sprocket and seat. Every 3 months or so I take about a week long break from riding and lifting. Regardless of whether I'm feeling beat up and sore I feel like it's good to mentally check out from pushing myself.
It looks good now and feels solid but in 3 weeks it's gonna feel like a mushy piece of shit and look like it too.

Got a fresh pair of locking Tech-77's. Tomorrow morning I'll bend them to my liking and get the rest of my brakes sorted.
I used to love bending Tech77s. Are you also going to file out the part where the lever meets the main body so you can run it really far down the curve of your bars, late 90's style?

Negative. My boss had his old lever somewhat like that, and I didn't really like the feel of it.

^Just so you know, any WD40 residue that was left behind will break down the new grease. I'm not saying you need to take drastic measures to "fix" this "issue," but you may want to avoid doing that in the future.
Yep thanks, but I would think wiping it with a clean towel is good enough...or no?

Could you actually reach every surface in the bearing, like the inside of the outer race?
Yep, bearing completely disassembled. Use a safety pin to pop the bearing seal out and use a tiny screwdriver to wedge the body apart. Set the bearings in a bowl with WD40, wipe em clean, and then regrease with Finish Line or lube of your choice.

my friends thunderbolts always seem to wobble. he cranks up the bolt with mad force but in 5 minutes they still wobble, no matter what the spacer combination.
also, my other friends wombolts also seem to wobble but thats acceptable (those cranks are like 5 years old)

Something is definitely wrong there. Are you sure your friend has the right size tube spacer in his BB?

I have never come across a set of Wom/Thunderbolts that had wobble which wasn't due either to a lack of spacers or spacer tube, or insufficient grease under the head of the bolt or on the wedges. That lip on the cranks where the bolt head runs MUST be well greased so it can go tight properly.
If it is an old set of Wombolts with the old wedges then having some of the wedges upside down can cause it also.
I hope this helps.

Possibly, but more often than not it is a lack of spacers or lube... If you ride them for a long time loose then it will obviously eventually deform the wedges and they may need to be replaced to get them to tighten up without wobble, but it will be fixable.

other than the cracks, what frame is that? as that head tube looks really poorly made. i dont know what to call them but the skirt which covers the head set is not equal all the way round, not sure if that is important though.

The headtube is actually the same height all around, it is just the radius on the outside edge that varies slightly. I just had a look at my bike and it is very hard to see, the shadows and dirt in the picture seem to amplify the effect quite a lot.
It may have been caused by me when I was polishing the frame, but I'm not too sure. It is a Fly Montana 2 from a couple of years ago.

so the last 3+ times ive put fronts on my bike, they came off cos they just werent performing. cable rubbing the tyre, lackluster braking performance, rough pulling etc.
This time though i think ive cracked it, the phrase "throwing a brick in your spokes" applies. im seriously worried that im gonna rip my headtube off with this setup, clear pads + chrome mayhem.
hope it was worth the 2.5 hours i just spent truing my wheel and switching my brakes over so i could get my evo 2 on the front

Did that going UP the lip of a jump. Best dead sailor ever.
I took two runs at the jumps yesterday. First run, first jump, I break my cranks.
Second run, playing around on a friends bike, I looped out on the rollers so hard that I bruised my thigh with the bars. Strait to the back of my head. I think my feet didn't even get off the pedals.

Flipped my stem, feels better a bit higher. Might still need a top loader though, challenger in silver would be nice.
Nice. It helps that bike a lot to have a slightly taller front end. Try playing with your bar angle too. Start with them inline with the forks, then move forward 1/8" at a time to feel the differences.

Do you reckon a higher rise bar would make it even better or does a top loader and another spacer under the stem give enough extra height for it to feel its best?

Um... I guess it depends on your height and how you like it to feel. Maybe try swapping to a top loader as it would be cheaper. But if you have some taller bars sitting around, that would work too.
It's all trial and error for your individual feel on the bike.

I left 5mm sticking out the end past the cone nut, so it would sit in the dropout. I thought about cutting it flush and using a Blue6 chromo bolt with the shoulder, but decided to use the volcano bolt since it's 6mm.
Do think it would be possible to cut both ends flush with the locknuts, tap both ends for the bolts, and then use the hub in a 3/8ths dropout frame? I just got a new flatland frame and the dropouts are 3/8th.

I don't see why not. As long as you mark the axle well for where the cone nuts stop and then cut it nice and straight, that shouldn't be a problem.

Make sure you go slow and don't overheat the axle, bit, or taps when you do it, or they could break in the axle.

getzafive, I am pretty sure I have a few extra 3/8-24 taps at home. I bought a bunch a few years ago when I modded a couple 14mm axled hubs to use G-Bolts. Let me know if you need a tap (if you are in the states I could send you one for a few bucks).

Sealed bearing brakes like those have the potential to work better than tradition brass bushing brakes as they can be a press-fit to eliminate the arm moving on the boss during use. If it's not however... Then I hope you didn't pay more than what Evos cost

putting the stoppers back on, and found out evo 2's wont clear a fly 2.125 on an S&M stricker
Probably down to the boss spacing rather than the caliper, though switching out the pad spacing is often all it takes to get the space you need.

No that's cool, thanks for the offer though.
If it is rubbing the arms at the large diameter bit around the boss then the Springfields are about your only choice and will give you another 2mm each side.

I've got taller bars now which helps. I started doing therapy as well. I still have 2 herniated discs and they get irritated if I start pushing too hard. I make regular trips to Canada for mountain biking which is great because you can buy 222's(Codine, Tylenol and Caffeine in a single pill) over the counter; when it gets bad I down a couple.
I've been working on building some new mtb trails a lot lately while the access gates are open. It lead to me finding a killer secluded place to build some new jumps lines which has been getting me motivated to ride the 20" more.
Finally, my co-worker and I placed some big orders for all the new bmx stuff coming out at Interbike which makes me a bit giddy too.

I've been working on building some new mtb trails a lot lately while the access gates are open. It lead to me finding a killer secluded place to build some new jumps lines which has been getting me motivated to ride the 20" more.
Finally, my co-worker and I placed some big orders for all the new bmx stuff coming out at Interbike which makes me a bit giddy too.
i could use a bottle or two myself. getting old is painful

Installed my springfields and dialed them in. Disappointed that I could not get my spoke mod straddle hanger to work. apparently the narps I have are just a hair bigger in diameter than the springfield will allow. Really happy with spring tension.

The side profile looks just the Challengers. What sticks out to me is the slimmer back half of the stem's body, which looks like this:

He is a side view. Like Matchu mentioned, it is pretty much a slimmed down Challenger. Definitely more knee friendly since it has less material hanging off of the back side.

i recently bought a drill bit, tap and tap handle on ebay for drilling and tapping my fbm autopilot's headtube for fly gyro tabs. i planned on using a dremel tool for the drilling, and that was just stupid fucking planning on my part. tough steel, and hard to drill straight even with both hands on the dremel. i obviously need a better setup, so i'll wait til i move back to california this summer. my dad has a drill press for wood that he doesn't care about, maybe it'll drill 4 holes through an fbm headtube before the motor burns out.
also after finally realizing that i hate how short and stumpy my united railed seat looks, i managed to snag a new odyssey aitken seat for $17. basically the united seat is like an odyssey junior with a wider base, and i remember my old aitken seat was an inch or more longer and a better shape overall. finally no more walking past my bike looking at it wondering what it is about it that grosses me out. i'm slowly eliminating the parts on my bike that gross me out, and that feels good. it's frustrating as hell not being able to tell what you don't like about your setup.

i got some new chrome s&m fathead bars and a 48mm fit bf stem in trade recently, so i cut the bars down from 29" to 27.5 and slapped a fresh t1 'fuckwipe' sticker i'd been stashing since it wouldn't show on my old black bars. had to hammer in a set of animal plastic bar ends so i'm liking how thick the tubing is. on my t1 bars i had to beef up the OD of the same bar ends with a few layers of electrical tape before lightly pushing them in. also the stem looks really good compared to my old boring rectangular fit s3 stem.

I bought a Mutiny tripod seat/post and I haven't been able to run it because the seat looks so short to me. It feels a lot like when I bought Macneil's first version of the pivotal seat which was a chubby little thing (not sure how many on here remember how odd the shape was).
it was pretty stumpy.

I finally got round to doing a job I've been putting off for absolutely ages (probably almost a year now). Changed my broken rear brake/STI lever on my road bike, put an Ultegra front mech on and set it up then changed the bar tape. Surprisingly all went without any problems at all apart from the gear cable being fiddly as fuck to get through the lever. It's a christmas miracle! The bar tape is a bit messy though so I'll re-wrap it when I get some more electrical tape. Doesn't look too bad for my first attempt ever.

I'm only 6ft 3, but have been riding a 26 with a 22+ TT for awhile.yeah i know what you mean, i usually ride 21.25 frames (i trade this frame with my cult os in 21.25) but wanted to try a shorter toptube, but i will run a longer backend, around 13.8, on the raider.

Post by: TheRadness on January 23, 2014, 03:46:10 PM
Big part of the Raider that I really dig is the fact that the back end is still decently short.
I've been playing around with 24" bikes and 26" bikes for some time now, and after getting back on the 20 I decided I'm here to stay.
I wanna be that weird old dude with the spikey blond hair and knee socks still riding around on a cruiser doing bunny hops, 180's and hop manuals all over town.

Moved post up to compensate for lower seat and my Animal clamp exploded. I only ever tightened it up once in it's entire life. Back to the trust Sunday clamp, now with grease between it and the frame and mounted backwards for superior clamping powah. Went to do a barspin, fell on arse and smashed peg into ankle. I miss my Veteran already :<

I have been weirdly tempted to do this lately too... At 6'2" I think I could pull it off but I think it might still be overkill. Wish the Raider had a size between 21 and 21.6 though. Probably end up just sticking with my 21" V1 BSD Forever a bit longer and get some 9" bars with some upsweep and a decently high stem come spring and see how that feels for my back.
took it down a handrail finally, 11 years in the making
Congrats dude!

Doesn't the forever come in 21.4 or something also?
I like that just about every BSD frame out there has a solid 3-4 wide size ranges.
I was tempted to buy a deuce deuce at one point also, then saw the price tag and total lack of any inovation (besides a long TT) and decided fuck that noise.
Picked up a pair of Animal MTT also, I know people seem to dislike them but I've always dug em since I first saw them.

My friend jumped his chevy corsica off of a housing pad bank with our bikes on the back and upon landing the rack (my rack) fell off and broke so it was dragged behind his car in the dirt. Damn seat popped off the rails again. Moving to a fly zusco.wait....Billy won't have a ECCD on his bike anymore?

After a couple commutes I've found the grooves are the exact right size for gravel (from the chip gravel roads that is my town) to get stuck and flung at me at high velocity.
I need fenders for my BMX.
Think I'm gonna go ahead and snag some 2.10's and send these down the river.

I've been working on getting rid of a lot of my stuff lately whether I sell it or give it away. A lot of the local bmx kids are disrespectful thieves but there are a good few in our scene as well. One of the nice kids and his buddy came into the shop today and mentioned trying to find a used complete bike; I knew I had extra parts so I boxed up a bunch of parts that were still at my parents house along with a spare complete and loaded them up to donate to get him riding. The bike can definitely use some new parts so if whats in the boxes isn't what he's after then there are plenty of parts to sell to buy what he wants. He gets a bike to start riding and I clear out more of my parents garage. Hopefully we can build a bit of goodwill in the local bmx community as well.

The bearings went in my 9th wheel so I switched to 36/13 on these old Alex wheels that came with the federal complete long ago. The only issue is that the frame I'm using wont fit much over 28t without having a terrible chainline. This is my life now.

1.- i filed down a bearing-less race (bearing-less race=the bearings inner part w/o bearings or outer part) to fit as a spacer between my driver and bearing for my primo mx.
2.- filed down about an 2 cm into the frames drop out to carry my wheel into the frame.
3.- also filed down the drop out since now it was longer than i should have been.
4.- added a primo dirt monster to it.
5.- added some odi live strong grips.

Hopped on my Beverage for a little cruise, but I've been riding my Sunday a lot lately. The Bev is setup with a tall front end and short backend, and I went for a high speed bench hop. You know that feeling you get when you know you're going to loop out and eat it? You know you're going too fast to safely eject, your stomach turns to water, your life flashes before your eyes, and then...you pull out of it somehow. Nobody knows. You look around, and nobody stares back in astonishment at your remarkable recovery; nobody sees, it's just you, your bike and the sidewalk.haha so true

Went for a ride yesterday on my awkward setup it was fun but hats off to those who praise the long ass rear ends. I couldn't get into a manual comfortably and Icepicks weren't even in the equation. When I move I'll be able to build up a proper feeling bike.
Obviously it's personal preference and all that but if I remember correctly you change your bike an awful lot?*
If you stuck with it for a couple of sessions you'd probably just get used to it, the same with any other bike.
*no hate here, I used to change frames all the time
Post by: peggiesmalls on April 03, 2014, 08:10:15 AM
switched from a life of 25/9 to 28/9 and its like i rediscovered bmx. everything is better. riding around is so much fun. youre just going fast all the time.gonna switch soon as well!28tooth bash guard beast!

True most of the frames I get on purpose have shorter rear ends though and I just switch because i get bored but kind of keep similar setups. I'm on an old fbm right now though until I move. I'm borrowing it to get back and forth to work with while I fix my car as the weather permits.Went for a ride yesterday on my awkward setup it was fun but hats off to those who praise the long ass rear ends. I couldn't get into a manual comfortably and Icepicks weren't even in the equation. When I move I'll be able to build up a proper feeling bike.
Obviously it's personal preference and all that but if I remember correctly you change your bike an awful lot?*
If you stuck with it for a couple of sessions you'd probably just get used to it, the same with any other bike.
*no hate here, I used to change frames all the time

At first I was kind of bummed that my DH bike would be down without a fork as the Pro GRT race series starts in a few weeks but now I don't even care about missing out. I was stoked to see someone just loving riding as much as I do.

Had an old 1999 Schwinn Joey Garcia Automatic frame deliver today. Throwing it together for a friend of my fiancee to have a bike to ride as his car is about to die. I have a lot of random mid school parts laying around from my dumb collector days, so I only have to purchase new rim strips, grips, and tubes to finish assembling the bike. I threw on an older Pitchfork, Solid Iron Cross bars, Primo Pro top load stem, D-Cupp headset, Primo Powerbite cranks and bottom bracket, Superstar 990, and a set of rims that consist of Odyssey 48h rims, Primo Pro rear, and Primo SOB front hub. If I remember, I will take a picture when it is finished.
solid 1" cranks and a mirra seat and you'd have a bike worthy of battling the 7 foot spine at the san jose ramp club while cam birdwell superman peggrabs the box jump! sounds like an awesome project!

Haven't painted my Federal Hamilton in a while so I've decided to strip all the paint off little bits at a time and I've been grinding off all brake related mounting. I'm not going to paint it but just leave it bare with some clear coat on it.

Would a Hamilton make a good flatland bike?
Yeah it would be. Is it a 20"? a bunch of the flat guys have gone to longer frames. even 20.5" like matthias

Would a Hamilton make a good flatland bike?
Mines 19.5 and I use it on street and flat. Its strong as hell I've had it for years now and I don't see myself getting a different frame. It helps to have a little bit of a longer stem to get good hops for street with a 19.5. The only other frame I would suggest for flat and street would be the DECO Succubus or Terry Adams Signature frame.

avoid these plants at all cost, these grow out west and produce "goathead" thorns. i have a theory that bike shop owners are responsible for johnny appleseeding the western edge of the americas with goathead weeds (tribulus terrestris) in an effort to sell more tubes. that ditch looks fucking sick though man.

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.

Damn that must suck.
Odysseys and you can forget about your forks for years.
Had a pair for i think 3 years without a problem, and sold em for cheap to a friend that still had half a complete bike.
That's a while back though, guess i got rid of them a year ago.
Going for my fourth Odyssey without problems. I have a Director laying around, but don't trust it because there was a tiny little rustline underneath my white paintjob. Might be cause i rawed them so i chalk that one up to me being dumbass and paranoid.

I've seen you go through ~15 different sets(maybe?) Of tires in the time I've gone through 2 hahaYeah, just 3. Momentums to wlt's to machetes. The momentums wouldn't fit the solid that I had so I decided to try wlt's. Due to cleveland weather I only got to ride them in snow or melting snow so I sold them after a month of just looking at the bike. I ended up with machetes because I wanted them again since I wanted a light knobby tire. Can't get much lighter than demolition tires but FAfs are my favorite. I may sell the t/a's and get bsd tires since they have them in 2.25 and are kind of like a larger print FAF.

The t/a tires are awesome but i think I want a tire with some tread on it. I noticed I can't grip that great unless I'm full on straight ahead charging a wall for wall rides. With my other tires(machetes) it was a lot easier to kind of ride parallel to the wall and just hop and stick. I just slide off the wall with the T/A tires.
Plus a new shipment of items just popped up in the shop so I'm going to try and pick up some metal pegs.
Could be that you were just wearing off the outer layer and breaking the tire in that it didn't grip so well

Concluded that i still have to take reeeeal fine (laquer) sanding paper to prepare the alu to be able to get a shiny finish on there.
The above is what i achieved with about 5 minutes on a polishing wheel. Hence the change of strategy.
Real stoked on this little project though. Stem didn't fit the look of my R25's in chrome and the 9.25 chrome bars i'll be running, so i decided to take matters into my own hands. Definitely more work than i anticipated.
Guess normal stems are easier to polish because a lot of them are cnc'ed.
D'oh.

Bummer, your back is still fucked up?
nah, this was a whole different thing. Super rare shoulder injury that has to just do it's thing (for 6 months) and then it's either good or not. There is some treatment that is super expensive and not covered by any insurance that I could do if I had to, but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that. My rehab has gone well and it's very close to time t find out if it's all good or not. The hard part is knowing how much it can take crashing wise. Def going to have to modify the way I bail to minimize impact.

You should check out simichrome. it polishes up aluminum quite nicely. I did it to mirror finish the seatpost/cranks/stem on my track bike

Thanks for the advice!
The european version of this stuff, i already have, and used :)
Unless there is something in simichrome that isn't in whatever we have here.
It's called commandant, and it is as well meant for polishing/rubbing/cleaning depending on the compound used.
Actually got a chrome finish on my last Odyssey forks with just that, a lot of sanding paper sheets, and some scotchbrite..

Same reason i now bought chrome odysseys lol, was soo much work.
The stem though, has some kind of coating before you get to the bare metal, that's why the initial tiny bit of polishing took so long. I now sanded most of the shit off so it's ready for another trip to my mate's workshop.
I'll upload a pic of finished project plus pics of the outlandish tools i created to do polish(edit: sand) the stem.
And again i say.. NEVER EVER AGAIN.

In 3 hours actually. On pretty much 0 hours sleep. 5 hours of BUS with 3 transfers.
Then the same 5 to 6 hours back.
On the bright side this is going to be a reaaaal pretty bike.
And i'll also have seen Rotterdam for about an hour tops 8)
Little something to get you guys salivating;
Btw the yellow should resemble gold. There will be more gold than this customizer could handle lol :P

pain it in a dark olive tone with only black parts!
I've had a dark green bike in the past. I want to not do the same thing again.
I just looked through the entire "post your shitty paint jobs" thread to see if I could get some inspiration.
I may do another camo job but with different colors or something.
Not doing the frame one solid color would be cool but I don't know what..
The bars/stem/fork/front wheel are all black so painting the headtube/front of the frame black (and the rest of the frame whatever) might look neat oh.

I've thought about doing a jawbreaker type paint job. Paint 4 or 5 colors and sanding threw too let the other volors show like a jawbreaker. I've been too lazy too go thru with it

Put the Sandbars back on and gave it a quick tune-up. Spoke tension was out of control, chain was sloppy and my tires were somehow at 25psi. I took my brakes off, too, for extra street cred.

The burgundy was pretty sweet, but unfortunately the clamps on my roof rack managed to wear off a decent portion of the paint on the down tube. The white will look rad with the rest of my parts if it comes out the way I've planned.

I'm listening too the air hissing out of my front tire for some unknown reason. Bikes been unridden for 4 days, It sounds like a spray can going off . Nothing weirder than random tube leaks
When you use a gas station air compressor that has no gauge and it explodes while in your roof rack or in your trunk may not be weird but it is fully frightening.

You will be better off lacing yourself and getting it right.

I had that happen in the bike shop I helped out at. Blew the sidewall out , sounded like a 12 gauge. Still not as loud as the transport that grenaded a tire while I was passing it on the highway. That was crazy loud

Found that out, too. With longer grips my turndowns suck balls, with shorter ones (ODI Longneck) they are way better, because I grip my bars a tad wider. Rest looks to be the same.
Keeps my hands from venturing close to the bends so i can rotate better. Plus it feels right fimor some reason.
So what you mean is that changing where you hold your bars has an effect, not grip length. Gotcha.

If that was the case i wouldnt have changed grips. But no, longer grips place my hands closer to the bends so i have to move them further before i do any hop" " trick. Shorter grips keep my hands further from the bends thus eliminating the need to move my hands at all.
You know you don't have to hold your grips right in the middle, right?

Long grips = hands close to the bends (155) short grips = further from the bends (140) w/o moving my hands. I never said i held them in the middle.If that was the case i wouldnt have changed grips.

Post by: @ss4oLe on November 01, 2014, 02:17:58 PM
as for the long grip/short grip thing, I have the same issue...
My hands naturally end up smashed against the flanges. I'll start a run with my hands on the very end of the bars and my hands end up at the other end of the grip by the time I'm done riding.

Put a Ruben on the front. I forgot how much of an arse 7ka rims were when changing a tyre with decent thickness sidewalls. Bastards are hard work.
Try to work the tire beads down into the middle of the rim to get more slack
This is called the drop-center of the rim

Bought some Longnecks and a 2.4" S&M tire for the front of my current bike. Moved the old 2.1" GLH tire from the front to the rear and had to add a half link to clear the brakes arms and bridges.

I've been waiting to build these up for a while now, and finally got myself some spokes and rims. DT spokes, straight gauge, and GSport Birdcage hoops. Odyssey has drilled the flange holes so small and the flanges themselves are too thick for the spokes to make it through the bend. I gave Empire a call and they recommended just drilling it out, so here we go. They said the early batches of Antigrams have this problem, so it's not me just being a hack.
There is a bit of a trick to it, I found it easier to flip it out toward the axle sort of and kind of turn it as it pops into place. Its hard to explain properly. I built quite a few of these when they came out and kinked a fuck ton of spokes in the process. Some of them were worse than others though, and wont go without a drilling or reaming. Or shaving of the paint on the spokes around the bend.
Post by: montymitch on January 22, 2015, 03:22:31 PM
Yeah, even after drilling they were tight.

I had the wza for a total of 3 days before deciding to put the ivy back together. The short back end was sweet but the 21.1 tt wasnt. Had it been shorter probably would still be riding it but its ok. I through thw ivy back together and within minutes the shit i was struggling with came with ease. Also installed my keychain which im happy with. I cant wait for a little more money so i can go through with my order on empire.What toptube size do you regularly ride? 21.1" isn't that big at all.

You've been riding like a beast lately. Sometime in the future i need to take some time to cone out and shred with you.
Post by: G on January 26, 2015, 02:29:29 PM
lately during every session i've been hurting my right ankle, my right hand at the thumb/forefinger junction , and my upper back to the point where i can't ride or do much for a couple days after. i'm almost 32, and the healing process is slowed down to a snail's pace. in an effort to make my bike less thrashable, i removed 4 pegs and my rear brake and put on my tallest bars/stem combo. it didn't help me take it easy, i went apeshit on a mellow bank after some 360 fakie sliders turned into 450s which turned into a couple sketchy 540 nosedives to flat. i almost never fuck with brakeless riding, my finger is always on the lever for manuals and hops and damn near everything and it's something i thought i couldn't overcome. so now i think the pegs and eventually the brake will go back on and i'll try to only pull the lever for fufanus and maybe sparing scooter kids lives occasionally, and i'll just lock my bike up in the garage and make my wife keep the bikelock key for a couple weeks while i take it easy and try to get in to see a doctor about my injuries.

Inactivity is the worst thing you can do (for your back particularly). Go see a physio and get some advice on exercise and stretches that will help you keep shredding.

haha thank you good sir. yeah i miss riding with you too, it'd be really good to meet up sometime. i'm thinking amtrak might be a good option to keep it simple, meet up in LA or i'd go from LA eastward and probably get out somewhere near you. or if you ever want to come all the way here i have a spare bedroom all set up.
and G: thanks for the input on getting some help with my back. i feel like it's something that could improve, not sure about my ankle though haha. might just go to the Ankle Depot and pick up some spares. when i said i'd try to take it easy i meant no riding, but i'd still be stretching and working out and keeping active. it seems like if i just laid around in hopes of it healing it wouldn't be like actively trying to strengthen and stretch.

Tried to true my wheels again. Made up a Frankenstein collapse chain
Even after a couple of decades I still can't true a wheel for shit, when I build then I hand them off to my mate for tensioning/truing
I make up spare 510's out of the spare links from 3 previous complete chains every 4th chain or so. The joins will never be as robust as the factory's riveting but I rarely suffer failures as I change chains after about 3 months of regular riding (extending longer when more inactive, in this case probably a year) as I prefer the initial factory lube over a relube

Been riding this 21.25 btm for the last week. Finally got over my mental block and finally went down a legit ledge. It was a good day then ordered my new wheels from empire.
so you couldn't even ride down a ledge and yet you swap parts every day? lol
Post by: DontcallmeKenneth on February 20, 2015, 09:03:03 AM
Parts havent changed... and if you mean frames, i still have my ivy and i got the btm dirt cheap so why not? Also the hubba was a big thing for me. I have not gone down anything higher than my stem so it was an accomplishment. I have been riding a lot harder lately and didnt want to keep beating up the ivy so thats why i have the btm. As for the wheels i have been waiting to complete that order since before i got my stolen bike back.Been riding this 21.25 btm for the last week.

Earlier I had a GLH-R tire on and you know how when you lift up your back end by the seat then let go so the wheel bounces? When I put this tire on it doesn't do that. It just drops like a rock and doesn't really bounce, it's the weirdest shit. Anyone else experience this? Doesn't effect the tire at all, I've just never seen a tire do that before.

It may well be that the Shadow chain has ravaged your sprocket and/or driver. Once the teeth are worn down any chain is going to struggle.

Normally putting on forks is a 5 minute job but not this time. These took me well over an hour and had me screaming obscenities at my bike.
Story time: Cut the steerer to my liking, went to put them on but the pipe cutter created a little lip on the outside of the steerer making it slightly larger than the stem. Filed it a bit and only went on a little. File more, but it's no go because now I'm grooving the inside of my stem out. Do this process a few more times no avail, finally getting angry and using a rubber mallet to beat the stem on. Stem is on but now I can't get it off. So I'm twisting the stem back and forth making more grooves on the inside until I finally get it off. I had to grind down the forks to get rid of the lip and sanded the inside of my stem to make it smooth. The steerer tube is now slightly shorter than what I wanted it to be but still works with the spacer. I immediately regretted my decision of buying these forks that whole day but it's all good now.
Moral of the story: Don't use pipe cutters on forks.

the gt bars are a specific market, like you said the bmx museum carpet queeners for their midschool builds, and the east coast US/real uk streeters who are loyal to the scerbos are gonna be the prime candidates i reckon.
unless all the pitta bread tyred, plastic peg, tcu lovin LA plaza street riders start reppin them, i cant see them selling in high volume to the kiddies
and trvp pizza, you could always get a front loader stem, and cut your steerer or whatever. generally im noticing bar sizes going down again, im one of the last few on 10s around here (though people still like their bars retardedly wide). id struggle to go lower, but id love an option with a smaller box (though that would also look stupid)

Which version? Pretty impressed with my v1 Montana. Mine's held up for almost 4 years to pegs and all until I just recently retired it.
Started to get tiny stress cracks around the seat stays (same area) but I'm sure its still got a little life in it
I've still seen a decent amount of broken ones though

Snapped my Fly Montana clean doing a flat 3. Must have been damaged from something else but just days ago I wiped it down and recall no cracks here. Trying to decide now between a Soundwave and Motoross.Wow, must have been some weak weld for it to crack directly on it.
Which version? Pretty impressed with my v1 Montana. Mine's held up for almost 4 years to pegs and all until I just recently retired it.
Started to get tiny stress cracks around the seat stays (same area) but I'm sure its still got a little life in it
I've still seen a decent amount of broken ones though
I think it's a v2 (2011 model). Only saw light peg use for a couple months and it never took any huge hits, and the forks I bought at the same time (Fly agua) snapped a year and a half ago - straight along the welds as well. Every Montana I've seen cracked has been in this same area so I wasn't surprised, I rode it just a few weeks more than 3 years.

I'm pretty surprised how well the fly stuff has held up for me. I've broken two sets of 4 pieces and cracked a rim or two in that same period.

Trying to bring an old Alliance back to life. Going to clean up the previously "modified" dropout. Not sure if I should leave the other one alone or try to match it to the cut side.

Damn... The things we did to dropouts back in the day.

was always better to cut the dropouts down than have them pinch so you couldnt get teh wheel out

Personally I hate all this old crap
Same. Someone posted a picture of a Casket stem on a certain Facebook group the other week and several middle aged men proceeded to cream over it. Those stems sucked 12 years ago, they don't get better with age.

Never got the appeal of a Casket

2 days ago I wrapped my bars in cotton tape and twine, then shellacked the things solid on my oldtimer.pics? That sounds pretty awesome.

it was the other day, but anyway, sorted out my cranks and then the brakes, had a general fiddle because it's been sat idle for a while, the new stem's fine now. those pedals were £9 cheaper than black ones, i'm tempted to change the bodies for the black bodies i have as on that set on one the bearings have gone and the other is stuck in a powerbite but the colour has grown on me and i doubt i'll ever be fucked. i had some black plastic rubens in between but found them really uncomfy. they're still in almost new condition if anyone's interested!
took it down the park for the first time in ages to discover some genius has built this wooden bank bit:

bike is running absolutely sweetly and tempted to get another two plegs but with guards too it's a bit pricey, either way i've got to start riding it more

Is Paulo still alive?
I saw him last Tuesday for the first time in ages, he's still married so he's kind of alive : )

Is that a 19" Hamilton?

Got it off here for £35 a long time ago now. The right chain stay has seen better days but apart from that it's been good to me.

pics? That sounds pretty awesome.
It lost some sheen after a heavy rainstorm outside. Still solid though. Been riding it with and without gloves. One is better than the other.

1. A bike shop downtown had a quamen sprocket and sold it to me for $20.
2. My good friend gave me his barely ridden stranger plastic pegs.
3. My local bike shop had a set of tioga fs100 tires in 2.1, the same friend that gave me the pegs bought me the tires.
4. I'm planning to get some odyssey caliber cranks in 165 or 170 from my local bike shop now that I got my tax return. Will post pics soon.

Installed one of those new Relic tires. It's hybrid of a Fly Ruben and Primo V-Monster.
nice. I've been in some tough financial situations and sold most of my bike (I still have the frame fork and bar). hoping once things get better i can rebuild and ride more.

It's hybrid of a Fly Ruben and Primo V-Monster.I just threw one of these in the back because it was the only tanwall tire I could find to go with my S&M Mainline. I like it but the tread is too shallow, I go through tires fast. I'm hoping I can get my hands on more tanwall 2.10 Mainlines before I need tires again. I ran through my stash of 2.15 tan Rubens and they wore super quick. Wish they'd bring back the tanwall Aitkens or FAFs.

Tan wall tires are close to extinct haha. I think Maxxis makes the Grifter in tan wall but that tread is more like street tread.
