Still little excuse for being slow, I know family comes first. Just be happy in the knowledge that it will get there eventually.

Look on google i'm sure you can find someone who can cut the shape into vinyl for you, probably for very little?

You laquerd matte paint? Was there any reason to get matte paint in the first place if this is what you planned to do. Or am i really missing something here. For the several frames i've done and my car panel i did similar as above. Removed paint, with either heavy grit paper, nitromors or caustic soda. Sand with light grit paper, to heavy and the sanding marks will shows through the paint. Cleaned thoroughly with pre paint or an alcohol cleaner. Removes dirt and grease to allow for better paint adhesion Primer the panels, leaving 10-15 mins between each coat to allow primer to become touch dry. Leave the primed panels for 24hours, then sand with very fine grit wet and dry paper using plenty of water, anything above 800 works the best. The finer the paper the harder the work but the better the finish. Clean thoroughly with pre paint or alcohol cleaner again. Apply paint in thin layers again allowing 10-15 minutes between each coat. If laquering leave for 24 hours sand with very fine wet and dry paper using plenty of water, clean again and apply laquer in the same way you would the paint, leave for atleast 24hours for paint to harden and in your case re-build your wheel. I can't sleep so this gave me something to do. If you want a proper matte or satin finish i'd suggest not laquering. Also remember the more layers of paint you apply the more you can sand off to make it silky smooth, remember to be very careful when sanding between coats, if you go through the primer you need to start over really. Common problems i used to have. Rushing and spraying to quickly, makes the paint run and makes it very difficult to repair. Not leaving enough time before sanding, this takes the paint off completely. Not using enough water when sanding ruins the paint. Not using fine enough sand paper, if the paper you use between coats and before laquering particularly is to heavy it will ruin the paint surface.

Was this cancelled or where there really only 3 episodes?

The more i watch people ride inspireds like this, you and Ali in particular the more i want one, no disrespect to Danny Mac but you and Ali always seem more relaxed, maybe its the brakelessness? You look so comfortable and they just seem amazing to ride, why am i so poor!

I wish they'd hurry up with the new frames, I want one... The 24" one that is.

I did wonder why try-all and other companies didn't use a kevlar bead before, its such common place in the MTB world and even BMX. The rear wheel looks great seriously concidering one, i tend to rape my rims.

Got to say i do like the colourfull stripes. But other than that yer they look nice and light.

Just about to comment on that, he still uses "the other forum"

I ran a 203mm BB5 then BB7 on a mod, the BB5 felt fine with the 203 plenty of modulation, great bite and enough hold for a front brake, but the BB7 was like touching a big red nuke button! Worked amazingly but no modulation, on or off, bite was so feirce i got alot of on my face action and the hold was great, so yes, good setup.

My point exactly, i'm several years younger but its getting that way.

I'm not gonna suggest anything illegal but surely you can use your imagination....

I'M GETTING A MILLION MORE THAN YOU THOUGH SO THATS NOT TRUE IS IT!!! No but seriously i'll probably get like socks, all you rich kids hey..

I was waiting for a post something alone the lines of. "I hear the worlds going to end..." Damn you ruining my expectations.

Awww man thats just the kinda size i'd be happy with... Looks awesome. Your gonna get a reputation as the crazy reptile man if your not careful.

You understand that 5-6ft is neck to head height right? If so thats some mental snow! Few inches here, ankle height at the deepest but its snow.

How big will he get?

You can make the tool yourself with a long section of threaded bar, some large washers, some smaller washers and some large bolts. Large/ small washer at either end of the bar on either side of the headset cup, tighten a bolt onto either end, if the washers are the right size it will slide in nice and straight.

Also do this. Its a nice colour aswell. If you don't grease your BB and for some reason you need to remove it, you will have one hell of a job.

Your either vaguely funny or astronomically stupid.

I'm not sure if i like it or not, i like the colour but the bike itself isn't really doing it for me.

Yellow or black stickers would finish it off perfectly but it does look much much better.

If a kings slipping you've done something wrong! If theyre kept even vaguely serviced they shouldn't skip at all.

Hah yer sure? I always wanted to try a 74kings, but i found that spokes always worked as well as i ever needed.

Always one, haha, didn't expect it to be you. The adrenaline from doing something new or even doing something wrong makes me feel like nothing else can. (Well nothing else you can do on your own.) It pushes me to try new things and makes me focused. Cycling has motivated me to do many things, even making me determined to follow my career path.
