Cool. You might even be able to refit it without taking the wheel out of the frame...

Is that the one on the outside of the freehub body? If so that bearing should be pretty reliably held in place by the compression of the wheel in the frame so you should be fine.

I feel we need to take a minute and just mention Jeff Lenosky by name again. Jeff Lenosky.

It was there an hour ago! A Koxx Mixx I think it was. Doesn't work now for some reason. http://www.k-124.co.uk/product.php?product_id=73

Such a nice style he's got. Very quick and smooth with manuals for miles.

That's mental. I'd be asking for your deposit back and buying something else... A bit of a delay for a bespoke custom frame is one thing, ignoring emails and not bothering to send a finished frame for 4 months (after taking 6 months to make it) is unacceptable. Good luck.

I was always a fan of the old english white with the Union Jack headube 'flames':

If it was me I'd paint the frame up in Ed Tongue factory colours or something and hang it on the wall then buy an Inspired Hex to ride.

Women drivers, eh? To be fair, that video doesn't show the speed in the slightest. Try that. Scary stuff. She was (along the marshals and photographers) very, very lucky.

Are the flanges on the 150 wider than a normal 135? If so I would expect you to struggle!

Jack's just in a class of his own at the moment isn't he?! So fast and confident. In other news wtf is with the scoring? So now each section adds up to 60 per obstacle? What was wrong with the clean-5 dabs thing that's been used, well, forever? Edit: Also Nicolas Vallee in section 5? What were the observers watching? Toe touches obstacle? Meh. Blatant hop while already dabbing? He haw he haw, but ee iz french!

You'd think RB would've told Max that Ocon was on fresh rubber and looking a bit racey...

Lol. I've lost a bit of muscle mass and definition but not much which is quite impressive considering i'm now 36 and hardly ride anymore! Only ever rode bikes and still never set foot in a gym!

Loved that Monty with the Repsol Orange rims! Good times for a bad reason.

I'm far from an expert at front wheel moves but from that vid a couple of things that spring to mind are: 1) You need to start further away from the ledge. If that feels wrong just pick a line on the ground (change in surface, parking bay line, whatever) and get yourself a bit further away before you begin the move. In the video you're almost on top of the kerb when you start the move which means you're not able to do much more than drop the front wheel onto it and do an endo. 2) Combined with that try getting your bum lower when you preload for takeoff. It sounds wrong but if you start low and relatively far back it forces you to lunge forward with your body when you start the move which in turn helps with getting the front wheel planted when it lands. 3) Focus on the edge of what you're landing on (or the line). Particularly on ups to front I always find that if I'm looking at the wall (either face or top) I don't judge things right but if I'm focused right on the edge your brain takes over and gets you where you want to be. 4) Wear a helmet

I was disappointed they spent so long talking through the wiring stuff (that they pretty much covered last time out) and then just fast forwarded through all that lovely design, turning, machining etc. It would've been good to hear what they were trying to acheive and then how they were going to do it rather than just showing sped up footage of making the final thing with pretty much no explaination. Awesome stuff though.

Even though I'm obviously well into my bikes (got a roadie, a BMX, two trials, a FS MTB and now a dirt jump bike plus the kids who have a BMX, two MTBs and a trials bike, oh and the missus has a HT MTB too) I never bother with bricks and mortar shops, even well stocked 'proper' shops. The little local shops tend to know next to nothing, have generic stock at RRP and I wouldn't trust them to true a wheel and the bigger 'specialist' type places I've ever been to have limited stock of stuff at RRP and just don't appeal to me. I can find out what I need online and the price is almost guaranteed to be better online. On the Nike front they had a great team and put out some awesome videos but I've never been tempted to buy a pair of their shoes because it just doesn't feel right to me and my association with Nike is simply too far removed from anything skate or BMX oriented. I assume they're continuing the 6.0 'brand' just killing the BMX team?

In my day you wouldn't drill the rim join 'cos that'd be silly. Bloody youngsters.

Am I right in thinking that that's the rim join I can also see in the picture where the valve is? I always thought they sat opposite one another on rims (i.e. diametrically opposed)...

When I ran rim brakes I always set them up with no TPA adjustment used. My logic was that if you wind the pistons out to get your desired bite point then the whole set up inevitably becomes more flexy and less direct feeling.

I assumed it'd be simple as per your diagrams but I think that 'lighting rose' thing is more common than not in house circuits so be prepared! You're right that it indicates a series of lights but they're in different rooms so the light in the bedroom doesn't go off when the bulb goes in the hall etc.

Its not always as easy as you think. I did our kitchen and bathroom light fittings last year and was astounded by how many wires were connected and confused by the way it was wired! It took me a few attempts, some googling and a good deal of swearing to get it working again!

Oops, so I accidentally a Calibre Astronut... Abused the Duke of Edinburgh discount to get 15% off and paid £2.95 for postage. Ordered just after 8pm last night and it was here about midday and I was at the local pump track and jumps about half 1! Quite impressive service to be fair. Will get some picks up soon but for the money it seems very good.

Good stuff! Really enjoyed that

I had started writing one but pulled myslef back from the brink...
