  1. Yeah give the guy a break but if you were to have a pop just tell him that it would of been better to post in the little wheels thread.
  2. I almost finished setting up my bike. I did go for a ride earlier and it was rather warm. I think the clouds made it heat up or i was just trying extra hard. I put a booster on and my Coust pads are silent. Super silent and i'm not taking the
  3. You can come speek to me. No doubt you will ask the same question that everyone asks me. It really does my head in but it works for me. I let you figure out what i'm on about. 7 degrees, not too bad. As long as there is no biting wind we will be fine. Still haven't figured out how i'm suppost to get there yet. So what time is the meet up at station/ 3 blocks?
  4. That bmx invasion comp was good to watch. The ramps look so grippy there. As for that guy doing the super slow front flip over the volcano that was just sic. And the guy filming who was running after the other guy. That was so funny with the camera backwards. The rider wasn't too happy i think. And the big hop of the curb, gave it that little bit of flow to finish. Awesome.

    There is a loose bearing wheel still floating about within our locals. Been around for 3/4 years now. 14mm solid axle with 48h supra E. It's on it's forth person now. I was the second to use it and it hasn't been serviced by any of us yet. It is a classic wheel.
  6. Would a 2 minute and 1 second manual be allowed ...as long as it was with curbs.
  7. I was just about to say that. But when some people do rockwalks they put a hop in 'cause they can't get round all the way on the back wheel. So even if you were to hop 180 you are ideally cheating the rockwalk and doing it the easier way. Now go try 5 in a row without letting go of either of your brakes.
  8. I just found out the rules. Gonna see how big i can get some curb airs and how many flat spots i can get.
  9. Hey, B.E.A.U i have some vp pedals, used only a few times? Intrested? PM me for picture

    Go with whats proven if you don't know what your after. Eastern wheels have proven themselves for the price. Eastern sealed hub with a supra G 48h. Odyssey rear complete wheels are a top. I run one, so do most people. £30 bars are fine. Forks, again Odyssey are popular. Give us some links to what you like the look of and we will comment.
  11. I just broke my tpa. I was twisting the tpa and its seems as the thread has rounded off. I'm a little confused to how i should fix it. I took the red star off and am now left with a thing with a thread. I will have a fiddle though. It's a really old skool red magura with trial written on it. Search is useless at the moment as well. TPA finds no results. TPA HS33 etc finds no TPA help. Magura website isn't helpfull. And OBM's tpa raped topic hasn't any pics plus he's offline. Thanks for any usefull help (in advance) [edit] fixed
  12. A quick tip for buying child tickets. Wear your helmet, sit down so you look smaller, a bag of sweets on the table, have a fresh shave before setting out. Don't look the conductor in the eye. Make sure where ever you are going doesn't check tickets at the gate. Otherwise you will get caught. Tip for a free journey. To avoid ticket conductors on big trains just simply stay in the toilet untill he goes past. Only tends to work unsuspiciously if its on a long train. Or just move down each carriage untill you get to your stop. Then run like mad to the cycle carrage to get your bike while the conductor realises he's been had. Try not to do this repeatedly. Know your conductors and stations. Find out if you can buy 'group saver' tickets. 3 or 4 people can lower the price of your ticket allot.
  13. Seems that is could work. I ain't stripping my profile down to try it though. How about a 32h hub to a 36h rim? This is all just weakening the wheel though. Nice idea but i think ill give it a miss unless i get bored.
  14. This is gonna be fun. If allowed the bmx is coming out, if not my mod tyres are getting pumped up and brakes are being removed. I don't think i should take it that far but good see what people come up with.

    I don't think you should to any heavy disasters either, they have a tendency to bend forks. Also no nose drops.

    I guess all the questions have been answered. I do have some different answers for you, pay attention now.

    Spanish is stronger that euro though, yes? I don't even wanna go near either bearings. Integrated headsets, never had a problem with normal ones myself but my friend cracked alot of the lower cups. His internal one has been fine. Maybe they are stronger? 19mm bb axles. Can't comment on those. Sub-6lb frames. Like you said build quality and geo come into play. Race forks, race only. Pantera's were better than my new pitchforks. 10mm axles = jokes with pegs. 36h front wheels/ rear wheels. If you snap one spoke god help the rest! I generally don't believe in the new lighter stuff being stronger. Does depend on the rider though to be fair. So i guess your 36h KHE hub will be fine with you. I'm waiting to see how long my friend's new Sputnic Satelight lasts.
  18. I swapped the hub for a rim for the bmx. So i got to sort something out. I just checked the train times. "what train times". All trains are cancelled like last week. Got to see what i can do.
  19. No one hold there breath on the weather. It was damn chilly today. I am wheel-less at the moment. (on the front).

    Good shout. As for the hub and wheel build thing. Winstanley's version of available to order means you will wait a long time as there not in stock and won't be untill the distributors get them. Your best bet is to ring the distributor. I had to do this with my L.A.F frame. LINK List of good shops. Cyclone Hardcore Source Pijin Custom R Alans Firm NSF 20 Twenty They ain't bold for no reason you know. Aren't i good. Links on request.

    I agree. Even if i delete the video that i only half watched. Least i get to keep the good ones/ the ones i like. Otherside for example. I wish i had that on the computer.
  23. I've seen cranks get helicoiled before. I guess you just need to buy the right size from wherever sells them. If there isn't much movement you could use some adhesive to secure the pedal. I'm not sure what would be best though. This would only be a temp. solution though.
  24. 180 fakie manuals, bunny hop manuals, abubacas on low sub rail with flatbank, fufs, manual 180s and full cabs. On a mod.
  25. Pre-book your tickets so you can get reserved bike space. I pretty sure you can do that.
