Haha yeh I agree on the 'old school' look! Quite like it. I was listening to this song throughout the evening, so thought it appropriate. I'm pleased you notice an improvement, as it can only get better once i'm fully used to the bike!

Thanks man, I quite enjoy watching it back as well compared with some of my other videos. Was quite fun to make on my own! I agree on a certain level with this; but I think James' most recent work with me has become better on that front. Should be fun filming from now on anyway; he has got a fish eye for some close up shots (don't worry we won't film the whole video with it)

So I dug out an old camera to film a few clips of the Arcades first proper ride; and here's what I managed to lay down. Nothing too special; just me getting used to the new bike, and playing around *OLD* camera, so no quality hate.

I filed the tab remnants down, and then used some wet and dry to get rid of any scoring. A lathe was not used as there would have been no easy way to hold it in a chuck or collet without making up a jig. You say you've used a lathe George? Probably best to get the terminology right first... #inb4haterzgunnahate

How so, Sam?

Looking sick George, you're riding has improved ten fold as well! Pleasure to ride with, some competition

Was going to say, 18/19 seems very big for trials

The dishing of it won't effect the strength of the build much at all. Being such a small, wide wheel as it is. But yes, i could have cut down the end cap on the non-drive side a bit, and allow about 5-10mm of extra room. But that would have arisen other problems with the freehub body not being stable with only one set of bearings holding such a wide distance from the shell.

The non drive side is as standard. I have left it like that so you can run a disc if you so wanted to otherwise, whats the point ay?

Love it! I can most likely modify one if you want it done in the future

You'll be able to run a disc yes, the hub is still fully functional I will have to dish the wheel a lot when building it, but as said above; won't effect the wheel strength. I hope George has a variety of spokes

If anyone knows where I could get trade price parts, I could indeed make a few

Right, this is the finished product. I've obviously done it differently to Danny, as I don't have a huge spacer next to it I am pretty confident it will work, and have clamped it up right to check and all seems well. Time to build the wheel and test it properly I guess. If anyone wants an exploded view of this I shall endeavour to do some pictures tomorrow. I've completely changed the inside of the freehub body.

I've over come the bearing problem, and had to do a lot more to it to get it to compress when you do it up, whilst having room for the lockring. Cutting the thread now, and I've already tested it. - should work.

I have come up with a solution that I think will work. We will see if I am right today when I put it together, fingers crossed it will work!!
