buy it Ok this is what you would use on a shimano hub to give it a standard freewheel threading. but why? shimano hubs are trash anyway, once you put a decent freewheel, say a tensile 60 click ( £35 ish ) thats getting up to £95. Or buy a because screw on hub and use a tensile freewheel ( either by welding the lockring / supergluing it shut or buying a RFW version ) which would work out approximately the same price, ( in reality £10 cheaper ) leaving you to spend £5 extra on the new spokes necessary. because hub You would then have a very strong wide flange wheel build, sealed cartridge bearings and a far more specific wheel instead of a heavy kludged solution. This would also be massively lighter too, and transfer the weight to the front of the bike if you used a front freewheel.

Good stuff, haven't met you yet, but should be a good sesh Sweeeeeeeeet

So to celebrate the start of next years riding season....how about a massive London Ride on the 2nd anniversary of the behomoth that Jack Meek organised? Post in here if you're up for it peoples, lets try and get some support going for it. Would be great to get some international riders over too

hey everyone... really fancy getting out and filming some night footage for a video I was thinking meeting at the Hoe about an hour before Sunset then heading back through town in the dark hitting spots on the way Everyone welcome and all that, be good to see everyone that can make it. Alex

Which is a damn shame else I'dhave bought one for sure :\

Really liked that, edit was pretty good... and I love that really whippy sidehop style

Just buy a rotor off CRC for a tenner... dont piss round with ebay and its 1-3weeks delivery

buy this linky

Ah cool cheers for the help you lot decided on getting some alloy nips, but keeping 3x as I already have the spokes.

In other news if you have the patience to use them for a while they are pretty good once the ti-nitride has worn off the braking surface.

Anyone got any idea roughly how much weight you would save radial lacing when compared to a standard 3 x build? Double butted spokes. Cheers edit: oh and alloy nips versus brass.... the weight difference for 32

Best pedals I've used Tr caged crack on the body, TR flats just dont grip your shoes like threaded pin pedals like V8's or MG1's. Import some Mg1's on ebay.com, under £30 i think?

Rear der Kaiser or minion... Kenda small block eight up front. Sorted

I very much like the Heatsink coust pads, and Steve at heatsink himself.... but the pads are clearly different compounds. You only have to use some "real " coust pads to realise!

It's this. New pad time, or at least re adjust the offending slave

yup, just loosen the non drive cup and tighten the drive side fully against the frame. Now tighten the non-drive to secure the BB in place. remember that the drive side is reverse threading

Great brakes...but not massively strong in my experience. Cracked 3 calipers when I ran them, but easily the best performing disc I've used.

This ^ Wish I could put it quite so eloquently

The less you know the better about TGS

Silly topic..... I cant go big for shit, but can beat some people on natural that cane me on street... So many variables.

Great video...and some amazing riding
