  7. Can you mill a 135mm hope pro2 Evo for a limeys odd width dropouts?

    As i have my own hope machined hub that Euan machined i think im possibly the best person to talk to. yes you can machine one down to fit a onza limey but you should only get it machined down to 116mm as then it will fit other frames if you decide to change. you can fit that into a 110mm spacing frame without losing the disc mount but it is a very tight squeeze and you do have to spread the frame out slightly as George blake had to do this on his onza ice. the hub also means you have to build the wheel really offset so that it fits in the middle of the frame. Euan Beaden can do the machining and everything for you but he charged me £50 and made me wait a good 6 weeks at least until it was done. Also he cut the lockring thread on the driveshell the wrong way so had to make anew lock ring to accomodate. obviously as it was cut the wrong way after a while it kept on coming loose. In my opinion he over charged me a lot for a shoddy job that took too long to complete and it cost me more to get the job done than it did to buy the hub in the first place. since then i have changed the hubshell to a black one which has disc mounts which my previous hubshell didnt have, i have also swapped my axle and driveshell with George Blake as he went to stock so had no need for his internal parts anymore. this has fixed the lockring problem but the wheel still doesnt sit straight in the frame but its something ive had to deal with. I'd say it is worth getting it done but only if it isn't f**ked up by the person doing it and if its at a low enough price. hope this helps :)

    Distant, don't see much of each other anymore, his / our interests changed and I moved 10 miles away.

    just how things go really, we still get along and stuff but idk we may cross paths at some point if I get into bmx or he gets back into trials

    He went by 'drstix' but I think he changed it to 'Blake_18' or something?

    tbf matt half of your bike was made up from parts george gave you like the entire back wheel and back brake so it's fair really

    Upgraded to m810s front and rear. Running a 160 ice tech at the front though, if anyone has a 203mm ice tech please get in touch.

    Anyway- stopping power=yes

    copy cat ;) really dont see the need in ice tech rotors for a mod though, especially in 203mm, my brakes work insanely well with 180mm rt66 rotors and ive only had 3 rides on them

    Shes mentioned iceland? anyone been before not somewhere thats ever crossed my mind. And the obvious tennerife ect which will be warm compared to the gd old uk.

    Iceland is awesome, such an amazing place. I went last year on our college trip and it's was great. If you and your missus are into nature, the outdoors, geography or geology then I'd definitely go with Iceland. you do have to do a fair bit of driving to get anywhere because they don't have any motorways and the only big town is Reykjavik and that's pretty much where all the people live. If you look in to it you may be able to join a tour guide organised thing and do loads of different things :)

  23. Flat pedals?

    in Bike Chat

    Posted

    Speaking of pins, I don't know if something's changed with the Neutron pedals more recently but my old set didn't lose any pins at all, yet my latest set seem to shit them out pretty regularly. Flipp lost a load from his pedals pretty quickly too, although his pedals do look kind of haggard :P All it's meant is I have a 'good' side and a 'bad' side to my pedals so it's no biggie, but just seemed a bit unusual. Might be worth putting a dab of threadlock on your pins whichever pedals you get if you want to try and keep them in...

    ive come across the same problem too, i was told to super glue the all in which i did and on the pedal that i land on if i fail side hops or up to fronts i have one side which is missing most of its pins, dunno why they come out so easily but they do just seem to fall out

    i need some advice guys, basically ive shagged this girl at uni a few times and she seems to have become quite attached to me, she texts me all the time, broke up with her boyfriend because of me and just generally seems like she wants more from me than just friends. She lives in my mates building and we often go there for flat parties and she is usually there. i dont want to be "seeing her" anymore if youcould call it that but i dont know how to sayit to her and it not be awkward, any ideas?
