I once rode my bmx in 1 piece supermoto race leathers and mx boots, f**k me that was hard work

Exactly I turned 29 a week ago and Im now riding better than I ever have - still crap though, can only backwheel 6 pallets As long as youre in reasonably good condition theres no reason why you cant, your body will adapt over time so it doesnt ache after each ride

My grandparents are dead my dad is scare of anything other than windows 3.1 incase he cant use it

Pull it over by hand and use the hi/lo screws to set the position, zip tie it to chainstay and shorten the chain as much as possible - job done

Try it?

Happy birthday, 25 isnt old, was 29 exactly a week ago

Got a tryall rear and never had a problem with it, apart from being really soft and not holding a grind for more than a couple of weeks.

Gin is the best drinkable alcohol degreaser Surgical spirit or rubbing alcohol are probably more practical and alot cheaper Cellulose thinners is also very good, a decent sized bottle from wilkos for a couple of quid - will do your degreasing requirements for years

Clean the disk with some alcohol and cook the pads over a gas ring to burn any oil out of them

It cost me an extra 70-80 quid a year to add my bikes, thats 3 bikes all valued at 1500 quid though. The insurance approved lock is arse though, I can guarantee the lock will last no longer than 10-15 seconds to a properly equipped theif But if it gets you a payout

LMFAO I believe its a metre

All of my bikes are covered on my house insurance (additional cost though), they are covered if theyre in the house and also if theyre stolen whilst locked up outside (I very rarely leave my bikes unattended at any time locked or unlocked). Ask about adding them to the house insurance but be aware that most places wont insure them above somethign silly like 500 quid unless you pay extra. Getting bicycle specific insurance is rediculously expensive

Im pretty sure the swapped brake levers are to do with being able to give hand signals when turning across a carriage way (right in the UK / left in the US) whilst still being able to safely control speed with the rear brake Could well be wrong though

Exactly Think the last time I measured anythin in cm was about 18-20 years ago

Warhammer/40k is an english game and all measurements are taken in imperial I work in metric 95% of the time but once in a while I have to convert an imperial drawing to metric, this is why I know most of the major imperial sizes as a metric conversion. On an odd note imperial micrometers confuse the f**k out of me where as Im fine with a metric one - I can read them, it just takes me twice as long to be certain Im reading the measurement I think Im reading Centimeters are the devil spawn and should be illegal :D

Opposite in the UK, rear on the left

The correct answer is its worth what someone will pay for it

Middleburns, not cheap but imho better than just about anything else out there

Unless your freehub is f**ked theres no way your pedals should ratchet back What hub is it, what gearing are you using and are you relying on the pedal pressure to keep the front wheel up?

Think you will need a peg spanner to undo the pedal inserts Can make one from a couple of steel plates, a bolt and a couple of pins (small allen screws?); or just go beg/borrow/steal one

Thats what I call a wheelswap, not a front to back (as danny described very well ) Get your shoulders over the bars and huck the bike up underneath you when you jump upwards Im crap at them and can barely get more than 28-30"

Did you mean wheelswapping in a vertical or horizontal plane?

You can still pull a helicoil out, but its a lot stronger than the original thread into aluminium

Nope, Ive found that the pins just cut s aneat round hole in my shin with minimal bleeding As I said Ive not slipped a pedal in ages, guess I must have been lucky. The worst shindigs Ive have have been from cage pedals.

Alot of my shin scar tissue has healed now but you can still trace scars from my kneecap most of the way to my ankles Got lots of dents on my shinbones aswell, mostly from bmx over the last 12 years or so
