  1. He won't get validated just because he's good on a bike.
  2. Topic area? You're in NMC, There's only one area Selling your 24/7 already?
  3. Maybe people just don't want them?
  4. Bestiality? I hope you didn't mean beastiality.
  5. Cut tyre knobles . umm, no brakes, who needs them? get the drill out on various places
  6. Email sent to tartybikes@gmail.com, that the right one? Black would of looked nice as f**k too!
  7. whats the deal with the rockman. New frame is so nice. My jaw litteraly dropped
  8. Hahaha, I have a pjalchemist.. on msn. Never even had a clue who he is?
  9. You say they're not worth it. Then recommend a front one?
  10. I was giving an example of corners being weaker than rounded corners.
  11. Hmm, I guess a rounded corner would still be stronger even if you were to crack the corners Castles had their corners changed from square to round, less hard to knock down. Presuming the same is with holes cut out of rims. Lol.
  12. But are their corners at a right angle without a rounded corner?
  13. Have the reserve as 60 and have the starting bid as 50.
  14. Right, I wonder what Fly's reason for keeping to spanish is? I doubt they'd just say its to make more profit I think only one person around here has blown a spanish bearing, though... As for Wombolts, I am 15, ride park, pretty smooth and don't weigh alot. When/If they snap Odyssey will probably just replace them with Twombolts, but there's a possibilty they will refuse as they've been ridden for a long time without any issues. Although others broke within months. Odyssey are real good for warranties. Even if they do refuse i'll be cool with it. Didn't expect them to last this long anyway. Hollows with Ti axle are next on the list. Again..
  15. If they were too wide, why would they need spacers to increase the width? Hollowbites, and powers too are still used by ALOT of people, as are many other 22mm axled cranks. I, personally* havn't used a spanish on any of my BMX's only Mid and unsealed US. I also use 22mm cranks (wombolts, yes snap happy but i'm on the V1's still after nearly 3 years.) and I havn't ever blown up bearings. I'm not sure on how often/how many people have blown spanish ones. *sp?
  16. Avoid pinkbike, unless you want a pretty badly beaten cheapo BMX. As that's all I have seen on there, especially within your price range. But he doesn't want to spend over £850 on it, does he?. No. Although Eskimo is right, and this guy too to a certain extent. £300 will you get you a well specced WTP. As above.
  17. I didn't really mean the cranks wobbled due to tolerance issues. Jut put it in there as another product of Profile's developing a wobble. Now, if they were made wrong. (what was it that made them wobble?, shell width i'm guessing.) Profile needing to send out spacers to increase the size of the axle width, is them needing to sort their tolerances. They also refused warranty on alot of hubs because of the wobble. Mid is probably more used due to it being an off-the-shelf bearing, the bearing being bigger will also mean it is less prone to blowing. Fly use spanish bb's still, and they continue to produce them to sell them too, as do a few other companies. There must be an advantage to them using spanish BB's on their frames. Probably because they can make money from selling the BB's to suit frames they sell, therefore increasing the profit they make as a company.
  18. Wouldn't really be hard to make the same axle, just with square tapered ends? Most BMX companies use either spanish or mid now-a-days. I'd also hope companies did work to an acceptable tolerance, which surely they would if they need to thread the BB shells. Profile for example, due to a pretty poor tolerance, alot of their hubs preduced a wobble after a period of riding. Same with their cranks.
  19. Atleast say it right, spell it correctly too.
