I have made 2 slicks for my 24 street bike. Had sum old hale sumthings and was bored. went and found my sanding plane that runs a stanly blade in it. set the blade to 2mm. poped the tire on the rear rim. pumped it up hard. terned the bike upside down. started to spin the wheel. pushing the blade on to the tread. after 5mins one almost slick tire. spin the tire around. pump it up agane and cut the rest of the tread off. one nice slick tire. no cuts in it. no rubber dust from a grinder to kill me. just a lot of mess to sweep up. hope the spellings ok in that lot.

Thanks. Its going to get better. Needs new bb and cranks. Then sum bars as they are old zoo ones that are runing at 810mm. So not the best things to have. Then rimes and bits. Will see if i can find my old bike pic.

Has to be the halfords foam grips. £4 or £5 and you get 4 sets out of them. But they dont last to long. Im never going back to rubber grips on my mod. But for mtb/street i run odi grips. The best ones i find are the s & m ones if you can find them.

Right then. Time for sum new pics of the bikes. We have my newish mod. My 24 play bike. And a pic of all 3 of my bikes. And a pic of the hub thats on the 24. It was a 150mm dh hub. Its a 135mm hub after i had a play with it. Its a 12mm bolt on so had to make sumthing to fit the frame. Im trying to keep the 24 as cheep as i can. I think its cost me about £250 max to sort out.
