    Bmx Questions

    front brake : dirty harry lever with greased lever pivot odyssey slic cable. Oiled with castrol GTX, rubbed in for a few minutes, then ried of with clean rag. Then drenched with wd40. Housing filled with wd40 until it came out the other end. odyssey evolver brake. Greased brake mounts and Greased THIN springs. Rear brake : Dirty harry lever, as above. Odyssey evolver brake, as above. Dragonfly gemini top cable. Sprayed with wd40 and worked in as much as possible. Twin lower cables, both odyssey slic cables. Lubed as with the front brake. Chrome rims cleaned with muc off and never touched with anthing except the brake pads, which are all plaz flies. IMPORTANT.... you must use the thin springs for a nice feel. By the way ali. I NEVER get my bike wet. Dunno bout you. That will no doubt take its toll on moving brake parts. john
  2. agreed. i bought this magazine because of this thread. the first mbuGAY in over 3 years. IT WAS SHIT. I know 10000's of p[eople who can and do ride shitloads better than holroyd in that vid. plus i have seen every clip before anyway. Then there was the dirt jumpig. ooooo, twitch bars, jammin salmons and 360's. Oh yeah, don't forget the shitload of flips because its mtb's and somehow cool????!? MTBers on the whole are a bunch of homs who dres up like tossers and made me embarressed to buy and watch that dvd. john

    spend a lil bit more and the point is, you won't need to upgrade much at all. http://www.alansbmx.com/product_info.php?c...roducts_id=1729 top cranks that retail at +£100, hoffman jumping bars are excellent sold seperately bars, as are the pegs, wheels/tyres AND the frame. It'll serve you well for a long time, looks good, rides superb, and won't hold you back. john

    fairy liquid is for plates etc, hence it has to leave NO residue for health reasons. It gets things "squeeky clean" AKA no grease at all lol. john
  10. arrrrghhhh, understand where i was coming from. yes it is, but not compared to the other 2 tricks i compared it with. john

    Bmx Questions

    sounds daft, but degrease your rims and pads. fairy liquid your pads and wash clean with water then dry with tissue. Replace onto your brakes an set up against your freshly cleaned and dried rims, cleaned with fairy and water and rinsed, or better still, muc off. Chrome rims don't work at all with even the smallest amount of dirt on them, as they are so smooth it spreads so far and coat the rim really thin without you realising. john
  12. hell yeah. anythin mirra does is daft lol. i would have sexual relations with the man. indeed i might force myself upon him at the bike show. john
  13. rules rules rules. enjoyment has no rules. john

    Bmx Questions

    ok, lever (Y) gyro (Y) BUT waste of money. Get a normal cheap odyssey gyro this one. NO WORSE but much cheaper. profiles cranks are about the best you'll get alonmg side primo / solid / demolition / wtp. About the XTR, are you sure you have V brake mounts, rather than U brake mounts like most bmx's. what frame do you have?? If you have U brake mounts but an odyssey evolver and set it up good with lubed cables, pivots and springs etc and whak some plazmatic V flies on and it'll be as good as an xtr v anyway. A good brake ain't cheap, but it opens a whole new world of riding to you. john
  15. its simple physics. Like any wallride, if you are leaned over and you are travelling towards the wall with a decent amount of force when you hit it, you WILL stick to it. imagine the wall is the ground. so you turn your bike and body on its side to be in the same position on the wall as if it was the ground. in reality you don't need to be leaned that far over, but this part is the key. If you are leaned over you stick, if you aren't, you won't. And if you hit it like a fag then you will slide off and welly your shoulder. Just be a man and try it properly and you will do it. gettin off is easy. gravity helps there and its in the feel of it so you can't say " pull off like this". just do a f**k off bunnyhop aiming at the wall, hit it leaned over and see what happens. john
  16. why do people jump on the bandwagon of paddy's day celebrations??? there are 2 types of people n this world. people who are irish, and people who want to be irish. if you can tell me where that was said i'll give you....an arse pube. john
  17. this ain't a dig please don't think of it as one. It is funny though how MOST people who don't ride bmx appreciate the things that are actually the easiest!! spose like in trials too, non riders like the big drops over the subtly difficult rock section lol. (notice the barspin to tailwhip and 360 whip to barspin) not diggin, just sayin hehe. john
  18. i have just finished mopping up the man cream from my computer that was unintentianally but unavoidably created while witnessing this magical and wonderous trailer of doom. If this trailer was a food, it would have to be a bendy smarties cookie RRP £0.99 available from all good superstores.... A true taste sensation. anyway. click the shitting link nob rots. john

    .,

    old wives tales are false... THAT one is true, so its not an old wives tale (Y)
  20. by the way its still legal to shoot someone with a bow and arrow on any day but sunday in scotland. john
  21. why stop people postimg when they wanna post. i might go away for a while, come back, download an old video, which is new to me, and then want to post. If the threas is titled correctly, then my post won't annoy anybody, as they will know it is an old thread anyway. The problem you say about old threads being bumped, is a side effect of the very reason this thread has been made, thread titling. john
