I've got a 2006 GU typhoon (one of the old guys that got bored in lockdown and finished a deserted project)
Fork choices are:
pashley 26mhz (400mm height)
Kinesis of some sort (440mm ish height)
Cheers

Hi guys, any advice for how long a set of forks should be to suit a frame with 60mm BB rise? I've got two choices at the moment. 400mm and 440mm from centre of dropout to bottom of fork crown.
The 400s seem ok and the 440s seem high but just as comfortable to ride.
Any thoughts?

A lot of crazy bails in here. music gets a bit annoying
do these people not use rear brakes?

second video is wicked. really enjoyed that.

such a cool video. remember getting a monty catologue back then and dreaming of an xlite mod. got the x hydra and loved the geo on those.

seem to remember really liking the feel of these years ago. had mine built up with a long stem and flat bars and it rode so comfy

In short, yes. Spraying in cold weather causes all sorts of problems. The paint goes harder between the can and the object you are spraying, meaning you'll have to move the can closer and it is more likely to run. Also once the paint is on the object the cold temperatures give the paint strange properties and it doesn't dry normally and can become streaky and discoloured. I tried to spray my frame when it was too cold and instead of it being black like the rest of it, it turned out to be a washed out grey colour :/
Damn phones are so slow. Agree with what you are saying theta2

You may have trouble with the moisture as much as the temperature. You may find the shed and potentially the components will be susceptible to condensation overnight.
In the past i have found gloss black particularly, can go milky if it is cold, or damp. I dont know what colour you are using, but just thought id add that, as you may well experience it with other colours

genuinely makes me miss riding so much this video.

hi guys, no doubt the people on here have changed over the years, but have decided a life of chasing big carp (fishing lol) has taken its toll and i want to geT back on a bike for a bit. have just dug out my old stock bike from the nettles behind the shed, pumped they tyres up, ignored the rust and away i went. my hope hubs are from the late 90s lol, and theyre still pukka.
to be honest i really enjoyed mod over stock, but my antique bike has no wheels. im possibly looking to buy another mod bike, the last one i rode was a koxx from around 2004. a long frame. if anyone has a semi well specced bike for sell feel free to PM me or make me aware of your ads, as to be honest looking through the classifieds has got me stumped haha,
cheers

PS do irc el gato's still exist?? loved those tyres on a stock bike.

got a frame and fork sitting in my shed, brand new bashplate and oldschool single piston louises unused. just need wheels bar and stem
-
Is this hub available in 36 hole? and also where would be the best place to get one and what kind of price are they? also does it limit the choice of rear disc, i.e will only certain calipers clear the spokes once built up
cheers

if you really want the allen bolts, and are prepared to wait then i would go for that if that is what you really want. i would just get a decent QR and get back out riding !
