Awesome. So 2 chains on one side. I was thinking chains on both sides.

He stole my joke.

Try looking in some of the built up places where you are, if any. Supermarkets, development sites, warehouses, housing estates, etc.
-
It does say it's a temperary thing though. Seems too myspacy to me, with the friends list etc. And what is that about having to download a spell checker?

I think the problem is your swapping wheels to late so when you hop there is no momentum left. I mean when on the front wheel reach the balance point on the front wheel and just as it drops then go for the swap. Don't be too late otherwise that momentum of the wheel droping will be too much therefore your front wheel droping. You could try just putting in that little bit of a pedal kick after to bring the front end back up. Also if there is enough room go at an angle if you can. There will less distance for your back wheel to travel.

What setup was he running?
-
Although there are 9 of us who use both feet. Everyone should try switching those cranks arms round to face the same way. Double the power
-
I run a complete bmx wheel up the front of my mod.
-
But isn't that too much money to spend on a rim that you are just going to grind away at?
-
Stupid flood control. Now i'm here i can ask: How did your profile break but you radial laced front survived? Also lack of scratches tells me you had it on a mod before What forks are you running?

Were all out of Turkey, dammit. Beef and Ham left.

The Phoenix has Royal cranks and the 4 seasons doesn't. I think it is worth paying the 50 quid extra to get some decent cranks. Yeh some unbranded cranks are the same but i don't think these ones are of a decent standard to compare. Also like it says some v monsters and ryno lights. Both of which are worth having. Looking at the KHE it isn't back instock (at alans) for a few months. I just watched that vid at Alans on the KHE Goldie page. That guy couldn't sell a free bike let alone that one. He was just reading out the spec pretty much. LINK Winstanley's yet again. Bastards. The only real difference in the KHE 2007 and WTP Phoenix is the general spec. Although ride wise they are the same. 74.5 HA, 20.5/6 TT, 14" backend (around). So both short flicky bikes. But if you do choose the Phoenix here is your new link. They should give you free shoes or something. LINK Enjoy. Alansbmx is a 'rider owned and run' shop. Alan being a old guy who used to race a long time ago. So you are supporting a old skool rider. Winstanleysbmx is some company that was started by Mr Winstanley (i guess) who knew bmx and mtb was becoming a serious money spender for people. Therefore he opened a business and through all his money into it so he could own the bmx and mtb network. This being it is harder for the real 'rider owned' shops like Firmbikes etc to carry on as everyone is supporting this big blood sucking company. So buy from a 'rider owned' shop and you will be able to sleep at night knowing that Dylan@Firm is spending your money on riding or drinking somewhere. Even though they cock up every damn order. Plus Winstanleys don't tend to have many actuall underpaid riders working there so knowone actually knows why we only run 2 pegs on one side. Rant over..? Although i'm sure others will like to have a go. OBM, your saddle done that to you?!

Grease them up a little. No doubt it is your cranks.

Have you got the compression ring still? That might be what you lost.

I was going to answer last night but Neil came on tv. The amount your spending will get you want you want. The thing to look out for is a decent wheel set. The 2007 bikes seem to have branded cranks. For the bb situation. We have: American- Big strong heavy bearings sat into a cup which then pushs into the frame. Mid- Same as american but without the cups. Slight loss of strength and weight. Euro- The bearings are small, light and weaker and screw into the thread in the frame (as per normal) Spanish- Same as euro but without the thread allowing you to push into the frame. The best being American or Spanish. Depends if you want strength or light weight. I would take the WTP Phoenix over the Hoffman on Poopipe's choice. My choice of bikes. KHE. LINK Coming in a 300 it would leave you 200 for upgrades. Which i don't think you would need just yet. Maybe some tyres and grips but generally i like this bike. It should last for you. KHE BIKE 2. LINK For the little extra you get a fair bit more. Die Hure cassette ith 3 sealed bearings which i don't think is right. Normally the Die Hure has like 5? But anyhow a Hiddenburg crankset, mag pedals, light forks and 4play rims i like this bike alot. The downside is the colour. If you like it then that would rock but gold isn't my choice i'm afraid. To let you know i run the Hiddenburg cranks. And this bike is very light. If you did change the frame it would be super light then. But obviously your not going to.

Was generally an alright program. Not suprising how he mentioned the no seat thing.

I'm in for tommoro. The trains should be ok tommoro so i hopefully will be on time. I'll ring everyone (all 2 of you) tommoro. -
Seriously i have not seen any bike that required a internal headset to be forced in. Mine and my friends headseats just drop in. We are all using FSA impact's. What are you guys using if different?
-
Don't bet on receiving it on Friday. But as you paid next day then Saturday will be the day i would of thought. Depends what they are actually doing on the Thursday though.
-
I bet it turns out to be a 1min clip. That would suck but it is good that trials has made it to TV once again.
-
I now know what i have got. 90 pound in total Deodorant and socks etc. So i guess some bike parts are in order now.
-
Am i still the only one who doesn't know? Had to wait for people to get home from work and friends house. Now waiting for dinner and then going on bike. So i guess i will find out around 7.

Ummm i don't know when ill turn up but i guess the usual time of around 11.00. So when is the exact date for this? -
Dunno and i'm more concerned if people actually come out riding today. The first dry day in weeks. So a bmx session is on the cards
