Just remember to put the correct fuel in
but other-wise this will be awesome 
Also, I believe i still have plenty of mini moto engine spares laying about in the shed if needed.

A replaceable grind surface would increase weight and cost. Unless they cost like 50p each it would be cheaper and a lot less hassle to just grind a rim.
Also a rim with a permanent 'grind' would eat pads like crazy. There has to be some give somewhere.

Firstly, what disc brake are you running. You shouldn't have to have the brake dragging to get it to lock.
-
Another vote for making an adaptor, and I talk form experience. The welding just completely ruins the heat treating in that area of the frame. The tab itself will probably just tear away from the frame, the exact same thing happened on the disc tab i had welded on my A2.
I'd take the offer of having an adaptor drawn up for you, but that's my opinion. If you want to ruin a perfectly good frame then do continue.

I skipped a minute or two of it and I'm pretty sure I didn't miss anything.
I found it a bit of a let down to be honest.

It may 'look tacky' but if you're still securing the height you want, does it really matter?

It's mainly a location thing, Like which side of the car the steering wheel is on.
In the UK we mainly have the rear brake lever on the left side but in other countries they run it on the right side. There is no pros and cons to it, just like there is no pros and cons to left/right foot forward.
I do personally have the rear brake on the right side on my commuter bike though. This is because the levers and gear shifters are all in one, and because i wanted rear mech only (which is on the right shifter) and rear brake only i just kept it all together for less clutter.

i woke up and 3 beings were stood at my bed ....i couldent move and i couldent scream ( yes i tried) then they buggerd off and gradualy could move and speak again.
This sounds a lot like Sleep Paralysis

I've been watching your vids for a while now and each one leaves me wanting more. Most videos I've seen recently i turn off after 2 minutes (or skip to the end hoping to see bails!), but I could definitely watch a long video of your riding.
I especially liked the nose pivot to static hook
Also, how is the frame holding up?

its a decent bike just my brakes are the worst i need a grind
what do you ride now
Yeah the hub and brakes are definitely in need of upgrading. but i really liked the geo of the frame.
I ride a long Adamant A1 now.

Looks good dude.
I miss my old one soo much

I wouldn't be worried about the lack of power from disc brakes. A proper set up 180mm bb7 or hope would be more than adequate.
The problem with rear disc on a stock is wheel flex. I'd stay stick with a rear maggie on the stock.
On a mod though rear disc is excellent

My bad. Just copy and paste the IMG code straight into the text box

You want to copy the IMG code into the text box. It'll convert the code into imbedded pictures.

Well, for one your links don't work,
None of them are going to last great periods of time,
Not strictly true. I've known frames last years.
Lighter frames are subject to a higher chance of cracking, but for a beginner there's no reason why it wont last a fair while.
I've only ever ridden tanks so I got no worries about cracking my frame
Some working pictures or links would be cool though.

Although they fill me with the sort of powerless rage that I also get from seeing acts of animal cruelty, reading the amount of interesting made-up stories about what X did to Y's Magura still amuses me. Best one I heard was someone saying that their water-bled frozen Magura split the hoses and burst all over their carpet, staining it.
My Fresh Products lever put a hole in the piston when it froze
My fault for not bleeding with an anti-freeze mix and letting the TPA off when I put it in the shed over night 
-
Is the lever piston bottoming out?
When you bled the brake did you undo the TPA?
-
If you want to save a bit of money, and a lot of time faffing about with a spoke tensioner, then just use your mech as a tensioner.

Another one from Ok Go

I've noticed it too. Not all the time, but some posts have definitely been edited and it hasn't had the tag at the bottom.

A little late i know.
Although technically i've already broken this resolution I"m gonna try and quit drinking or at least do it more responsibly. Also gonna try spend my money a little more wisely.

So does Susan Boyle, but you still wouldn't.
Every hole's a goal...
It's nice to see a company making a break from the norm. Which is why i like it.
