    Yeah, they are pretty narrow. I bought a set for my Arcade when they were fairly new out and they clear the chainstays stationary, but not always when under load because there seems to be a fair bit of sideways flex. I definitely agree with them being a bit of a faff to install too.

    I don't suppose you've had any issues with snapped axles? I've snapped two of them; one on the splined tabs at the end and one randomly in the middle... I'm not going to complain though, I'm a heavy lad and not particularly smooth :tongue:

    Thanks for the heads up on the axles.

    Im also a big dude. I weigh in at 117kg. I learnt to be smooth after breaking heaps of stuff.

    see what happens.

  2. I felt the same. Then I figured why not. I'm really happy how it turned out. Im a little disappointed that I'm not using the blue forks. They look heaps better.

    I can't  use them because I need a long steer tube. That why the long stem. Yes it's a 110mm stem, I found them to be the perfect combination between street and trials on the hex.

    Im fairly tall so need the higher set up.

    as for the hope cranks, I feel that there a little narrow in the frame( my personal opinion). There a really nice crank set, with the inspired bash it's a perfect fit. I don't know if you have seen how they mount, just a bit tricky compared to most cranks.

    Well that was just ace.

    Have you been riding forever and a day?
    You've just got that style, and it rocks.

    Bunnyhop gap up to the picnic bench took me really by surprise.
    You looked to be going way too slow and then just boosted it up there anyway!

    Watched your Arcade video too, which I must've missed the initial release of. Equally awesome :D

    Thanks, glad you enjoyed it and my arcade video

     

    fingers crossed that my next video isn't far away.

    Well that was way too much motivation to go out and ride, keep that up man! I like not being the only bigger guy riding street, shame you live the other side of the world! 

     

    That last crash was horrendous! 

    thanks.

    Sometimes it's good and bad being the big guy. I tend to break stuff a bit more, as you would also be aware.

    its great when you smash lines that others can't.

  5. The crashes were to good not to share.

    I still ride now( not as frequently as I should), this was all pre arcade footage.

    Currently I'm filming on my dual disc hex. Video shouldn't be to far away really.

    its a bit hard locally because the street riding is non existent, there's nothing, no one to ride with within a 1.5drive.

  6. The strat dab was a Smart move on his behalf.

    I'd like to see anyone try that line. It was huge.

    When we had the worlds in Australia there was a similar line. The riders could ride on flat ground under a long. They should have ridden up a skinny incline then gapped across.

    He just played on the rules to save points. It was all or nothing.

  7. As mark said, I cracked the original arcade. Same spot they all cracked. The ones that have broken.

    Yeah the new mount I just brought didn't work with the new frame. So I had to re order a new one.

    It's all sorted now and bike is rimunning amazingly.

    I'm loving that I got the frame kit. I can now run a 90mm stem and it's heaps better

  8. The red is a really nice colour.

    What adapters will you use?

    The hope ones seem to be the nicer looking sets. Worth purchasing.

    Sadly the disc mount is differnt on the new frames. I brought a disc

    Mount, used for a week then found I had a cracked frame.

  9. Yes it's at the national cycling centre (velodrome) in Manchester. The guys nuts looping that.

    Looks nuts.

    Keep up the good work on the riding and videos.

    I'm really liking the green and blue.
