      I've not snapped any Inspired bars but I did swap a pair I had after a years abuse just for peace of mind. They had been used in demos with 10ft drops every day over summer though. But in all honesty you will be fine, I have 100% trust in the Arcade bars

      ahh ok cheers for this, the weight makes me think they'll snap quicker than normal bars, but i guess theyre made well. arcade it is! and yeah ill make a "progress post" soon. cheers guys, means a lot :)

      Check the video called nogames on eightypsi.com, the guy on the blue inspired has them

      They are dark green but if its sunny bright metallic green, beauties

    3. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      yeah Ian Johnstone i think is his name, and thats the shade and shine im after anyway so i think i might go for them. price is cheap too which is a bonus, thanks for the help bro :)

    4. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      and i like the look of omen's, bit of a mix between the skye and element i'd say, hope your "omen project" goes well ;)

      Maybe you should consider the dmr Rims as tarty has them... In green ;)

    3. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      yeah but i want something thats gonna be strong as well, and i dont really like dmr stuff.... not being fussy, i just dont like them much. also there cheaper rims and gonna be cheap for a reason... i can spend as much as i want if its gonna be the best kit. also the green ones on there are discontinued anyway, thanks though :P

    4. JJ Leigh

      JJ Leigh

      im gonna have to try find an alternative i guess, i could get some black atomlab pimps because i think my dad knows a place where they can anodise stuff so rims would probably be no problem, who knows..... and im ordering my skye frame kit today so thats something to look forward too! :D

  10. anyone know where to get a mk1 skye frame kit that's in good condition and original paint? might be hard but anybody know?

  18. ok, not bb, but how do you bed in a freewheel properly?

    1. Blake

      Blake

      cruise around, ride up hills and down hills. Put GT85 in it

      Better yet soak it in a degreaser before all this

    2. bing

      bing

      Wash it out in petrol first, then oil it with gun oil. Then ride down a big hill
