Lloyd B

I snapped a spoke yesterday and was wondering is it ok to continue to use the wheel with one spoke missing? I have snapped many in the past but I have replaced them each time. Much appreciated, Lloyd

Longer bb is the only thing for it.

I find that if you tuck earlier in the side hop then it brings both wheels onto the wall at the same time but still keep your weight slightly towards the front so if you dont make it then will land on your crank/pedal. And its all about the preload as well so just before you kick make sure that you are nice and low and mabie try keeping slightly further back over the wheel, this worked for me. Finally try changing how far you are away from the wall before the side hop this makes a huge difference, its takes a while for it to feel compfortable but its well worth th effort.

Very nice riding your gaps to the front wheel are massive keep up the good work

Odessy make a lever that can pull 2 cables its supposed to be used with a giro but im sure it would work for you but then again making to brakes hit at exactly the same time would be near impossible. Here is a link to the lever i was talking about. http://www.alansbmx.com/product_info.php?products_id=3080

i snaped my zoo! bars the other day when going up to front its a shame i didnt get it on video

hey im 6ft and to be honest i think its all about personal preference but i ride stock as find it easier to keep things smoother however i find it easier to learn things on a mod but i tend to swamp the bike and hit my knees alot although i feel i would be eaqually at home on a 20" provided i got used to it. so like i said personal preference realy but in the long run you wont regret riding a stock it feels alot nicer.

as long as the frame dosent flex to much without a booster then you can run it without one but if there is alot of movment then you run the risc of your frame cracking plus a booster will make the brake feel nicer

get a bb7 its the best thing i have ever done it feels so gripy and it wont let you down once it has bed in

i shall have another look at it but it goes realy tight then realy loose

i think the tokoyo drift theme your after is by Teriyaki Boyz hope this helps

my freind just brought a mod with a front feewheel and square taper cranks and wen i pedal the chain goes realy loose then realy tight again ive made sure the wheel is striat and the snail cams are eaqual and i cant think what the problem is as its a brand new bb so i doubt its bent please help, lloyd

sounds like a laugh bet it will be realy flicky and easy to trow around

My freind had this problem with nick a week ago but he got his wheels in the end im sure your freewheel will come just might take a bit longer

mine froze when i was riding but it was when i left it for like 2 minuits this was at night though wen it is colder so it will probs be ok......but bleeding it with oil wouldnt be a bad idea in winter loads of the people i ride with had the same problem

i had this problem and i unscrewed the tpa out as far as possible to releive the pressure then i put inside to unfreeze the flushed out the whole brake with anti freeze then bled it with oil

In my opinion get kickhops sorted as tht will help with balance and everthing and practice stuff like zap taps hope this helped it did with me when i started:D

liked that thought the song went well to be honest

After seeing my freinds freewheel explode due to a loose lock ring and wanting the same freewheel for christmas i was just wondering wat is the correct way to tighten one?? is there a proper tool? cheers fellas

yeah tried all of that but the brake just doesnt hold

ive faced the disc now there so there isnt much flex only thing is that it doesnt hold like all of the other bb7s ive tried its not spongey anymore though how long did it take for all your bb7s to bed in properly. cheers

just had another look at it and you can see the side (closest to the spokes) of the calliper flexing is this normal?

Just bought a bb7 looks mint but im not sure how to get the best results out of it as it and has a very squidgy feel to the lever. How long dose it take to where them in? or am i maybe doing somthing wrong? what do all you guys do to get them powerfull enough to gap up to front wheel? cheers

Got the bb7 but im not sure how to get the best results out of it as it and has a very squidgy feel to the lever...... how long dose it take to where them in?

you have to wait till it dries though you cant put the sticky stuff on your rim otherwise you pads stick its painfull trust me
