The Bike Shop / Re: spoke size for gsport marmoset to gsport rib?cage stripped axel fix? marm

x2 for 186mm with a 3 cross lacing pattern.

188 will be too long, even with the shorter 3/8" nipples.

The Bike Shop / Re: Sunday

« on: October 24, 2017, 10:57:44 PM »

I was for sure a big fan of the "Jim C" Sunday era. But I don't think there has been a single team in BMX history that has been "on top of the game" or at it's peak for more than a decade. The younger kids seem to be stoked on the Sunday team now and the way the team/brand is marketed. So I guess that is really more important in the long run.

Sell and Swap / WTB Macneil Ruben frame

« on: August 03, 2017, 02:20:44 PM »

Blue brothers.

I need a Macneil Ruben frame. Looking for anything, but the cleaner the frame the better. Original paint and stickers would be an added bonus that I would pay extra for.

Hit me up via email because I don't lurk the deep blue as much as I used to. bobbyridesbikes at gmail

Tree metal pedals are good. Decently wide with good grip.

Just dropping by to say the Tree pedals are actually literal piles of garbage.

But the Grandstands and the BSD Reed Stark ones are pretty deece.

Sell and Swap / Re: Haro circuit skateboard deck

« on: September 06, 2016, 10:30:38 PM »

Hello! Popping in to add that Shad at Goods BMX in Portland would most likely have some sort of "street value" for that sucker. Either way, that is a cool piece of BMX yester-year. If you look up posts on Eben Krakau's instagram he has some pretty cool stories about this deck....err, board. Or whatever. And there has got to be some info about it somewhere on BMXMuseum. Just a lot of shit on there to search through. Also, they change it everytime a person says "fuck" to "frank" and I gotta tell ya, that shit just pisses me the fuck off.

Peace to my blue brethren.

The Bike Shop / Re: Roof Racks?

« on: January 08, 2016, 06:38:27 AM »

Currently have a roof rack. Wish I would have just went with a hitch rack. Less expensive and better on gas milage. You can get some decent hitch racks where your wheels sit in trays as opposed to hanging your bike on some bars.

Just my 2 cents.

That is sweet ! Why not keep it, you'll never find another one like it.

Meh, I built it up and rode it a bit last summer. Getting rid of all of my extra junk at the moment. Trying to pay off a hefty doctor bill. It's a cool frame, but I'll never build it up/ride it ever again.

Thanks, Steve. Also, for the record, I'd give Steve like 23453 green boxes. He might be new to the blue, but he is a stand up gentleman.

Anybody going to Warrens, WI for the Baco Jam this weekend? A bunch of front brake dudes are going to be there for the front brake brethren jam, really looking forward to that. But I'm mostly looking forward to the party.

The Bike Shop / Re: carving bowls with low psi in the tire?

« on: September 30, 2015, 07:57:59 AM »

Every time I read the subject of this thread I just think to myself "No! Don't do that!" haha. If I show up to a cement bowl and I have low PSI it fucking ruins my day. I try to always have a pump in my car to make sure this doesn't happen.

Another indicator if you are running too low of PSI is if your valve stem starts to go crooked from your rim (assuming it was straight up and down to begin with).

Ramp on, my blue brothers.
