A!!

Where abouts can you get it from now, i was looking for one when it came to getting a new sprocket for my bike, but i could only find them in America, i also had a look for the mosh one that Ian Schwartz uses, i couldn't find that either.

haha get them pegs off, you know you want to Why do you want to make your bike heavier, lighter is where it's at. If you do insist then i hear the "not using the toilet for a week" method seems to pile on a few pounds. On the bmx side of things, nothing a few lead weights can't sort out, or even dare i say it, whack both brakes back on.

Yeah that is a really good game. I ended up loosing the cd though, which was a bit annoying. Worth the money either way, plus i think it would be pretty cheap now anyway.

Kye Forte's Cali Riding Video: Smooth as Eddie Cleveland's new bike check: Ride bmx, weighs in at 23.5lbs!!

Very nice, i love the colour. It would probably look better without the brake mounts though, but i guess if you decide you want to run a brake later it isn't worth giving them the chop. Looks very Cleveland-esque, which isn't a bad thing.

haha, i love the way you resort to the good old fashion violence. Although to be fair, you probably could beat him up. I kind of see what what you mean about the three trick thing. On most his video sections all you usually see him doing is boosting, doing turndowns, inverts, and a few spins and manuals. I much prefer watching someone like Eric Holley, Ian Schwartz, or Eddie Cleveland.

I've always wonderd how one would go about doing that, i have asked a few girls i know, to which i got a reply of "thats just disgusting", or "why would you want to do that"or even "i don't know". To make it clear, this isn't for my use

If you're still looking for it, then it is: Modest Mouse- Might The album being: This is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about They are a really good band, well worth listening to some of their other songs

Do you mean the fact that it is really slack, or because it is actually out of line The reason it was slack, was because i had just put the wheel back on after taking my coaster apart, and hadn't tightend the axle bolts up properly. Why the nickel plated chain as well?

Gloves, who needs 'em. I use to wear them all the time, but since last winter i just haven't. It hurts at first while your hands harden up, but after that it's all good. Plus there is less to lose when i'm out on my bike, and i prefer the feel without gloves. Builders hands ***!

The only reason i have the new rear wheel was for the coaster to get laced to, as then i have one spare wheel incase i need it (plus it saved me the hassle of taking apart my other wheel). And yeah it is a balance rim (if thats what you mean), but when i chose it i wasn't paying much attention to the weight of stuff, as it was all over the phone to edwardes as they have no website. So like i say i haven't really made any effort to make my bike lighter, the only things i have done have been for other reasons And yeah, next time you have your bike out, whip the scales out with it and see what it weighs in at, pretty interesting to do. I actually thought mine would of been heavier than it is, so it's all good.

You have to pay for a key for the lock on the big blue gate. Plus i used to be a member of their club, so that i could enter the competitions held there.

I wondered why all of that looked so familair, now i know why. It is Metheringham quarry right? I use to ride there all the time on my trials push bike and motorbike, it is a really good place to ride with loads of big lines, although i haven't been there in a while. On the picture side of things, it is good riding. But the first picture would of been a lot better if you could see the bottom of it, 'cause it is actually a lot bigger than the picture shows.

Got the freecoaster and sprocket on the other week, so i thought i would post some recent pics: I seem to of sorted out the slight problem i was having with the coaster when i turned the cranks round backwards. I think it was the small cone shaped washer that fits between the driver and axle stud, and when i tightend the axle stud it pushed against the middle of the driver bearing, making it very hard to turn. So i took it off, flipped the cone washer around so the smaller diameter bit was sitting against the driver, and problem sorted. I also weighed it today due to boredom, and it weighs around 28lbs, not bad me thinks when i haven't made any effort to save weight.

The problem your having is exactly the same as the one i had with my freecoaster. It turned out that it was the cone shaped washer that was forcing against the driver bearings when i tightend the axles up, meaning it made it very hard to turn the pedals round. So i took the the cone washer off, and flipped it the other way round so the smaller diameter bit was sitting against the driver, which stopped it from rubbing on the middle of the bearing, so it now sits on the metal ring.

I liked the shook trailer, there's huge stuff going down in it. But the Scotty Cranmer video, it was just nasty to watch. Fair enough he throws down some huge stuff, but it all looks real sketchy and has no real flow or style. And those correction hops he does look nasty as well, if he cut them out it would look a whole lot better.

The no brakes keep you safe bit is very true. It makes you a lot more aware, instead of day dreaming or not being clued in just 'cause you have a brake on even though it may not be good enough to stop you at full wack. I am a lot more aware when i'm on my bike than a lot of my friends are who run both brakes. Like a while back one of them managed to hit a stationary car (was very funny for me, but not for him or the owner). About running pegs, i have read (i think it was on that bike guide forum thing) about a few people that have ran pegs with them, and some say their axles are absolutely fine, others say they have ended up slightly bending them. So i guess its a case of taking what you want from that, but i know i'm not going to, simply 'cause i don't really want to risk it even with the axles designed so they can be removed when they snap. Doesn't Dan Cox have a geisha street and runs pegs as well? I think it is one of those things that if you do decide to do, you just have to keep a check on them and make sure that you aren't bending them. Another qeustion to join the on going coaster talk: Basically when i took it apart earlier and cleaned it all up, filpped the washer to get maximum slack, lubed it up, and put it back together, then got it back on the bike again, i noticed it was really hard to move the cranks backwards, and it felt pretty tight. So i loosened off the axle nuts again, to see if it made any difference, and when they were looser the cranks would move backwards fine, so it did them up again and the same thing happend where it would feel quite tight to move the cranks backwards. So i whipped the wheel out again to try and work out what was wrong, but i couldn't really work out what it was. I tried loosening the axle studs off to see if it was that, but they weren't very tight in the first place. So then i took the driver off and tapped the the aluminium spindle from the drive side, to try bring the non drive side bearing out a bit. So after i had done that i put both axle studs back in, tightend them up a bit, then put the wheel back on the bike and tightend the axle nuts to keep the wheel in place; and then i tried moving the pedals backwards a bit to see if it was still doing the same thing where it would feel tight when i spun the cranks round backwards, but it felt a lot better and the cranks will now spin backwards a lot better, and it doesn't feel as tight. But the thing is, i have no idea why it happend in the first place, and why it was fine after i fiddled with it a bit, it just doesn't make much sense to me

Yeah they are having problems with it or something, it kept happening to me last night.

The coasters are actually easy as to take apart on service, takes about the same time to do it as servicing my eno does. All you have to is get the stages clear in you head, and then its a doddle. For servicing it all you need to do is just take it apart and lube it all up, so it is nice and smooth. In actual fact i think i mine go and do mine in a minute, and then i can try flip the washer over as well. As for the brakeless thing, i, like you was worried about how safe it would be. But in the end poopipe won me over and converted me to being brakless, and i love it (so i currently have a brakeless frame). It is one of those things that when you first do, everything feels proper scary, and just riding down the road worries you 'cause you feel like there is no way to stop (nothing a pair of shoes can't deal with). But over time you just get used to it, and when you go round corners you just cover the backwheel with your foot incase you need to. And everything feels silky smooth with no brakes, plus there is no brake to faff around with when you need to take your wheel out.

Never get lots of plastic bottle tops, and fill each one of them with lighter fluid and put a match to them all, then decide to kick them. That stuff spreads like napalm.

My nose manuals are coming along pretty well now, and i have found the easiest place to do them is over an island thing that you find in car parks (the ones which are about a bike length). Then i ride up to it lift the front wheel on but flick the back end up at the same time and nose manual to the end of the island and hop down. I also found if you flick the back end out a bit it helps to go a bit further. About the engagement thing. When i got mine as standard (thats 3 spacers in), it was near impossible to do anything but roll backwards (like no fakie b-hops or manuals) as it would engage with the smallest of pedal movements, i'm talking about two inches or so. As for running two spacers i wouldn't know as i just whipped it apart and took all the three of the spacers out, and that gives just under a 1/4 of a pedal stroke for it to engage. According to the khe website you can also flip the large washer around, which gives the maximum amount of slack. I might try it tomorrow and see what it feels like. Have a gander at this, it will probably help you understand the slack you can run on it: Khe webpage

never try to hide a batman figure down your trousers, in order to try and hide it from a teacher. It will end up somewhere it shouldn't, and you will end up pulling it out. Can't say this was my doing, but a friends in primary school.

Don't pi** in paper bags, it just doesn't work

The worst has got to be ones with a title like "love me" or some shit, then you open it to find "new picture default 100, will comment back". Meaning they want a 100 comments on a picture of them by people who don't give a shit about them (but it makes them feel popular and wanted), but still say things like "phitt", even though they may look ugly, and like every other scene kid on the block. But by doing that the person that left the comment gets comments back on their pictures. God that annoys me *deep breath*

Yeah when i was chainless (waiting for my new wheel) thats exactly how it felt to me. Like when i first got on i couldn't turn into spins like i use to, as i was use to keeping a slight bit of pressure on the pedals when entering the spin. So when i had no chain i had to do them where i would hop then spin round, it just felt a bit different (like slightly delayed). And now i have a chain back on again, when i do go for spins it feels strange because there is an opposing force against the pedal, so the first few i did went a bit tits up. Now i have got the coaster on though, i have set it up with the most slack (taking out the washers), as with the way it came it was literally like a few degrees before it would engage again, so i got sent a few times. So i whipped it off and removed the washers so it is a hundred times better now. So it makes it pretty hard to engage it unless i really mean to, so in answer to your question no i don't as i haven't really needed to. I also found that when i do a fakie b-hop it feels nicer than doing them forward. And when i do things like x-up b-hops they feel better doing them fakie than forwards, 'tis strange. Another thing that i have got into a habbit of doing now, is half cabs but the opposite way (to the right, when i use to do them to the left), which is pretty strange because i 180 to the left to get into the fakie then 180 back the same way out. Edit: one last thing; you know when you tighten the axle studs up, how tight are you meant to do them. Because everytime i get them nice and tight, i put the wheel back on the bike but it is very tight and stops the pedals from being able to turn, so i loosen the axles off a bit and it turns better. But surely you don't want axles that aren't nice and tight
