  1. On mine, my BB is 68mm shell and 122.5 in length.

    Alright, maby it will fit then, anybody know about the lengths on white industries eno freewheel pawls? gonna order everything from tarty but in the descriptions it just says short or long, not the actual lenghts, the one i need is 11mm long.

    If i could get that working i dont need the hugi hub and that would be nice.

  2. Well so i got my 24seven trial now, getting a bit tired of it actually, would like to ride an inspired instead, i like the bmxy stuff.

    My current setup;

    24seven frame

    FSA headset.

    A random bottom bracket (came with the frame, anybody knows the specs? 68mm?)

    Hope mono trial brake front.

    Hs33 with RB lever rear.

    Amoeba stem.

    Easton EA70 bar.

    Middleburn cranks.

    Rear wheel;

    Chris King BMX hub

    Alex dx32.

    Front Wheel;

    GU Hub

    Gu rim (i think), drilled.

    It`s pretty hard getting anything sold in sweden right now so i`m just buying an inspired frame and moving over the parts.

    What parts can i keep from my current setup?

    I was planning on this;

    Inspired fourplay frame (new)

    24seven fork

    Amoeba stem / EA70 Bar

    Front wheel;

    Gu Hub

    Trialtech 24" rim (new)

    Rear wheel;

    Hugi 240 Hub (got one spare in the garage)

    Trialtech 24" rim.(new)

    Inspired seatpost and seat(new)

    Hs33 and mono trial brake.

    Middleburn cranks (Anybody know a good size for BB? Would be really nice if i could use the current one on the 24seven)

    A random chain.

    Thanks in advance and sorry for my lousy grammar, been a while since i visited the UK.

  3. Didnt meet him but i understand from all of you that he was a fantastic guy.

    RIP Oli, makes you think about how vulnerable you really are, everything could end in a matter of seconds..

  4. Did you build the wheel? If so, did you remember that the outer cross has the outer spoke going under the inner one? Kinda find it hard to put into words hope you get what i mean?

    Yes i know what you mean, i built the wheel but i dont remember actually.

    But i had no probs with running exactly the same set up of wheel and brake when i had my GU fork.

    My only guess is that it`s the hubs fault, the GU hubs got spacers on their axles, making it less wide, and the spokes are going more straight up, instead of up in an angle if you understand?

    Or am completely wrong?

    Also tried to fit the wheel on another fork i had, didnt work there either, the hub bolts were too big.

  5. The good thing about British food is that you don't have to eat it since there are so many alternatives like Chinese, Indian etc. What strikes me when occasionally going to London is that the food they serve in places like Pizza Hut have excessive amounts of butter/oil in them. As for home cooking, it all depends on how you prepare the food really, the ingredients are the same no matter what country you live in. Throughout the 8 years I've spent in the UK, I don't recall eating "traditional" British food, if there even is such a thing.

    Well i lived with a family and got home cooked every day, they laughed at me when i wanted milk instead of cola for dinner.

    My GF lived in london for half a year and she gained a few kilos herself i may add (theyre gone now though ;) )

    The food may not be the worst in the world, but it`s increadibly more unhealthy than ours here in Sweden, it`s common knowledge among all the uk travelers from here B)

  6. Check how tight your spokes are - sometimes if they go slack they'll bow out. Only place I've seen this though was building a road rim onto a Hope XC front hub and the rubbing stopped once the spokes got decent tension...

    They are really, really tight.

    It`s not the wheel`s dishing that`s the problem, i had to use washers(or do you call them spacers?) to my brake when i had my GU fork, now it wont even fit between my fork and my wheel with the 24seven fork.

  7. So i`m putting together my 24seven bike now as we speak and i had to file my dropouts a couple of millimeters to get my deng GU hub-bolts to go in, it seems that it works now but then there is another problem.

    The spokes are rubbing against my hope brake caliper when i center my brake, it works when i put it a bit back, but then the disc is rubbing, not much, but anyway.

    Do i have to get a new wheel, and also a new fork since i filed it?

    Are deng making parts incompatible with other brands?

    Cheerios

  8. just buy the hub it the colour you want and give some money to the charity mate, trust me these things with a charity in mind hardly any of the money goes to them like a really low percent?

    Well as i see it, whenever anyone asks about the hub, i can answer that it`s for the good of cancer research and therefore maby even more people will donate.
