Couple of weeks ago and have gotten slightly better already. After having done this move for 1000x it doesn't seem so scary after all. The wheel swap still is difficult and I cannot get on the rear wheel. Any suggestions?
The best way I found was to imagine yourself at the bottom of a circle. Sounds odd, but you're as you're switching, you move the front wheel so it follows the shape of the circle (I'm not very good at explaining) also, it's easier when youre at your front wheel balance point, and the motion of leaning over the front and then throwing the bike to rear should be one smooth action.

I can't keep away from brakeless, ive robbed this one of them as well, it's now a mix of my two bikes- the other limey frame now mounted on my wall

Got it off, using a method that flipp just showed me, which works really well. I've included a picture- lining up the chain with little "spikes" so it can't rotate in the vice (imagining the envelopes are vice jaws)

Wanting to remove a spacer on the bash, so obviously the sprocket needs to come off. From experience, what's the easiest/ best way of unscrewing it without damaging it? its an 18t.

Not at all, think about it all the big skatepark companies are owned by old skateboarders, if you ever watch the come up on youtube and the interviews they do with bmxers and people within the bmx industry you may not be so quick to try and shut me down.
Cleric, you've gotten pretty good at English. Or maybe you take lessons from him in how to come across as a tool, no? Your arguments make my arguments look good...

I think your riding has stepped up again, it's great to watch

I laughed my head off that that. Brilliant

Quick update, after 2 weeks of riding every day nothing's broken! Had to re-tension the wheels fairly often. Switching to a sloping stem soon, bike weighs in at 9.3kg so it's not exactly light....

Pads: TNN ADM CNC backings
Time used: few weeks
Rim used: TryAll 19" dual wall
Grind: 1 ride old fresh medium
Ceraminc: No
Brake used: Magura hs11 2011, no booster.
What is your opinion of a working brake: loud, with all the hold
Review: on a dead grind, I found these were fairly useless, slight noise, no hold whatsoever, I put on some KOOLSTOP pads and they beat it in performance and noise. However, slap an alright grind at theyre transformed into quite simply the best pads ive had- bit of wearing in helped there too as well. Very tacky, superb hold. cNC backings make for a nice feeling brake too- which is a bonus.
Pads: heatsink Blues plastic backings
Time used: a Fair few months
Rim used: tryall single wall front/ tryall dual wall rear
Grind: Yes
Ceraminc: No
Brake used: Magura 2011 hs11, no booster
What is your opinion of a working brake: loud, with all the hold
Review: initial bite is very good, on smooth aswell as a grind. I actually ordered these by mistake, I meant to order rockman Blues, which are the same colour, price, and next to the heatsink on the tartybikes listing. (Oops!) however, I haven't regretted it as they've worked pretty darn well. It's been on the rear and now the front, the wear life is alright but as these are very soft inevitably they're gonna wear down quick. They've still got well over half life left and ive used them for quite a while now. Because of the soft compound and plastic backings it does make a nicely bled four finger lever feel a bit meh, but that's my only complaint.

Www.tartybikes.co.uk
best all round in my opinion, great postage and customer service to boot

I have two brand new, in boxes and bubble wrap, (until I took one out for photographs) Planet X zebdi frames, not a mark on either, like I said, brand new. I don't know what sort of worth they are, if anyone can help me out at all, I know sod all about these frames.

If the other has no brakes, why the booster and fugly jubilees?
Nice bikes BTW
so I can footjam it without my foot going through the forks! Haha

Will upload better pictures Later, this is my second bike I have at the minute, another limey 3 20", with brakes, just so I have the option of riding both. It has brakes and still manages to be lighter than the Brakeless one! (I bet it's the tyres)
real quick spec:
limey 320 "Hjørdas"
trialtech everything bar wheels, brakes and pedals. (And a few small things)
saint pedals, tryall rear+front rim and monty+stiky lite tyres.
rides really nicely

Old school! Looks great

Needle or roller bearings? You might find that needles might not take the impacts so well before brinelling the race and failing, but that said it will probably last just as long as any other headset
needles, sorry haha. Never seen a headset with them so it caught my eye! Thanks
-
Found a rather nice threadless headset I was thinking of using for my new frame- it has needle roller bearings in it, which I thought was Imteresting. In the end it's a headset so it's going to work regardless- but I was wondering if anyone's had any prior experience with them?

The reality is people like you support people like me.
That vid you made back in the day when you tried to climb that wall one billion times...
Man, that was some intense comitment.
You may be insecure, but in terms of riding, you get shits done!
