@CC12345678910 I will eat my words slightly, as my race face bb just shit it's threads, probably more user error than faulty because I rode with it loose a few times, I didn't realise when purchasing, it needed a different bb tool than what I had, so I just used mole grips, trying not to damage it, but I think it ovalised the cups a bit as well. Been creaking for last few rides, then I noticed drive side cup was pulling out at an angle. Anyway I have the cinch 30mm crank, so I got a Rotor bsa30 steel bb, because it was £40 but included the spanner, race face spanner is £20. Luckily frame threads were fine. I also managed to smash up my race face pre-load collar, which is a composite screw ring to take up any slack on crank spindle. I didn't like this part of the crank from the start. The collar is £15. Instead of buying the collar I got a mate to cut me some bb spacers of different widths. So I now have 2 of the standard thickness plastic spacers on drive side and equivalent of probably just under 2.5 spacers on non drive side. This eliminates any side to side movement just like the collar did and all feels good, no creaks. Am I pushing it with 2.5 spacers? The bb cup threads seemed quite long, roughly half the thread in the frame. Previously on one spacer non drive side with collar wound out. Would a spacer on the axle be better? Ti chairing bolts. Thanks

My money was on it being @ItsMatt @Paperclip Said mark or someone from tartybikes. Somebody said they thought it was @jamesb I think it's definitely someone from UK.

You were inspired by Danny on a street bike, so I think you should try a 24" street bike, search for an onza zoot or a second hand inspired or Marino. I started on a zoot and loved it. www.gumtree.com/p/bicycles/24-onza-zoot-trail-bike-/1175030122 If you buy something like that you can probably sell for same money when you upgrade or pack it in because you don't like it.

Thanks for all the comments, I'm going to start on another edit soon, hopefully address some of the issues pointed out and go a bit bigger, I haven't filmed most of the bigger lines I have planned yet.

I've been trying something similar lower and longer though, really hard.
