  3. Covid19

    I've had both my doses of AZ first one I was a bit under the weather so I had a slightly earlier night and was fine after a few days on  the 2nd dose just had a slightly heavy arm for about a day

  5. HOPE pro4 issues

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    I have experienced a few issues 

    Firstly i was having a few skips and weird clicks under low force usually like turning etc I took it apart and pawls and lockring teeth were worn / damaged/ chipped  the hub was not very old and Hope replaced the lockring and pawls on warranty 

    Then that same lockring stripped out the hub about a 3 or 4 rides later it happened when I was putting full power down back it went and they provided a new hubshell with "extra locktite" 

    It's been largely fine less 1 or 2 minor skips at minimal pedal pressure hor the following year or so

    Perrsonaly  based on what ive read I'd have either mRna vaccines in a heartbeat less so the Oxford astrozenica one based on a primate cold virus and id definitely wary of the Russian sputnik and 2 of the Chinese vaccines based on a deactivated covid19 virus 

    I'm also on the vitamin D but I was before all this anyways for other reasons

    I belive The reason things are so bad here is the pathological negligence of Alexander borris de phefiffel Johnson and his brexieer yes men and their chronic indecision 

     

  17. Arcade rear axle slip

    in Trials Chat

    Posted

    Only happened to me when I used a hub with m6 bolts never with my hope hub it might be worth seeing if theres any paint in the serrated washers on the inside of the dropouts that could help also might be counter intuitive but have you tried only using a tug on the drive side 

  18. BMX cranks on an Inspired Arcade???

    They wont mention an axle length as BMX worked out its standard dimensions many years ago those khe cranks look like a 48 spine so a longer profile axle may well fit but I do not think youd be hindered by a 175mm crank arm if you can afford it the arcade cranks ate really good if a lil heavy I got a sweet deal on some sram gx eagles and saved some grams 

    I'd recommend 22/16  not sure if anyone uses 22/15 nowadays imo it would be too heavy on the pedals to be any good for static or short run up stuff

    In theory you could but there may be some issues

    a 22t sprocket is 3&3/4" diameter and a 25t is 4&1/8" looks like there not enough clearance on my arcade it looks like theres bout a 1/4" between the sprocket and frame 

    The arcade cranks have a 6&5/8" axle bmx cranks are 5&7/8" I belive profile do make longer axles not sure bout odyssey

    As for gearing 25 /18 (1.388 ratio) would be marginally heavier than 22/16 (1.375 ratio) which is heavy already compared to trialsy trials bikes (24" 18/14 =1.285 ratio) combine that with shorter cranks as well may well be too hard a gearing for static stuff

    If money is no object profile could be the way to go the do micro drive crank bosses on some of there cranks and make a mtb sized axle ti axles available to  but that's like £300 +

    Measurements from the parts graveyard that is my garage so some may be a bit off as it's all bolted together

  20. Hope pro 4 ss trials and stripped ratchet ring thread

    in Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by Sandbugg
    ,

    I had a pro4 do this it was just after (like 2 rides after) the ratchet ring had been replaced by hope cos the pawls had chipped and mangled the ratchet ring teeth they changed the hub shell for me my hub sometimes misses a tooth / skips under low load like when I set up for something as opposed to putting the power (of which I havent much of) down

    As for the thread on a 2 vs a 4 the ratchet ring is a larger diameter on a 4 I belive so they can put more teeth in there

    Furthermore, why the f**k are far right wing protesters attacking police. I thought their intention was to preserve their British heritage status and have it out with BLM protesters.

     

    Its because they are knuckle dragging stupid racists c**ts

    I dont have experience  with exteionnpotental but I do have an arcade and it's the best put together most well designed frame ive owned and I've had a lot of steel bmx frames in my time from standard s&m kink (when they were made in NY) etc the arcade tops these in terms of quality
