The Bike Shop / metal shavings inside odsy antigram hub

« on: April 19, 2018, 01:12:03 PM »

so I've occasionally been feeling a grinding and resistance in my drivetrain when I pedal

~my driver is also missing one spring&pawl~

so upon inspecting my hub I notice metal shavings inside the hub. is this caused by the missing pawl and spring? is there a bearing inside the driver? I have not been able to spot where the metal is benign shaved from. I keep my hub lubed, but have had to clean out the metal shaving encrusted grease maybe two or three times in the past two months.


has anyone else experienced this problem?

The Bike Shop / email to the city about slippery concrete

« on: April 05, 2018, 10:39:38 PM »

hey, I'm a XXXCity resident and an avid bmx rider. I notice more and more skateparks popping up. a lot of them probably lack input from the people who actually use them as kids and young adults don't keep up with what the city is doing. well I hear you guys are building a new skatepark in XXXCity and a huge problem me and my fellow bmx riders have had with this wave of recently built skateparks is that the concrete is way too slippery, it is dangerously slippery and we have to change our riding style to accommodate this extremely slick concrete. I know there's a balance out there between the high speed slick concrete and the old regular concrete (which grips). could you please forward this concern to both the contractor building the park and also the city working representing this skatepark project.

I should also add a part about having a couple quarters and wedges bigger than 3ft tall

I sat in a house with ac all day yesterday
the day before that I sat at moms house in the morning and the skatepark in the afternoon
I rode the skatepark a couple times the hours while I was there, scaring myself with big sketchy air outs and bowl lines every non-warmed-up run. they were big and fast and great but felt sketchy cuase I'm fucked up and sitting on my ass all day.

I pulled an elbow muscle during one of the runs and am wondering if I should ride or not. I shouldn't Becaise I rolled my ankle 8days ago bit as long as I don't land sketchy, right? airplane landings. yeah that day I set up a huge kicker  to upledge to flat that I shouldn't hit due to my ankle but duck it , I airplane landed that shit

wow the miles and miles of red lights put here fucking suck. there is an old folk village every 1/2mile down the freeway and I suppose to keep them from doing really shitty merges, they just put stoplights so your speeding up to 60mph but then slamming on the brakes to a stop every 1/2mile it is fucking ridiculous. the city is just a giant highway grid of suburban old people villages,

I rebuilt the carjump at slabcity, all it took was some drugs, a little bit of cash and some baked beans for the materials, tools and labor

I remember when I used to not know everything about every single part.

hey my antigram hub has been making a slight grinding noise and  now when I take off to pedal hard, it makes this nasty noise like it's skipping (doesn't feel like it's skipping)

those tires look good, do the sidewalls hold up to 'light street'? as in does the tread extend further than any unprotected sidewall material?
