I had a friend ride the city with me once, and after about three hours we noticed a big nail in his tyre. Entered through the sidewall (wtf!?) and out through the tread. He kept riding it. Slime tubes, apparently awesome.

Steel one off a complete. Is probably about a year old though, I've been doing lots of high speed uprails/upledges lately though, which I can't imagine would help, strengthwise.

I think most complete bike pegs are stronger than some others. I snapped an (admittedly lighter) JPEG in only a week or so, on the back.

1. finish stripping and clearcoat my fork & bars
2. make a spoke straddle setup
3. modify my avid cable hanger so the cable sits in place better
4. take 1/4 inch off my bars on each side
5. possibly strip my profile cranks and clearcoat

fixed it then noticed a thorn in my rear tire.
Id like to note that when i checked my microknobbie front after the flat, it had about 6 small goatheads in it, but only one actually went through. pretty thornproof for such a weight weenie tire, definatly doesnt get as many flats as the khe
crashed highspeed into some chick whose forehead was as tall as my chin, chin as short as my collar and her bite at my neck
hit so hard the back my head hurts

rode the fixie to sims metals to pick up some cash. usually i ride on the wrong side of the street passing by, but since i wasnt i decided to just ride up to the front... instant flat tire. got my cash, walked across to the street to an autoshop and fixed my tire with a glueless patch i had in my pocket
probably shouldnt be using some racing slick as a regular commuting tire, eh?
got it for 3 bux at the flea market tho :D

Had a flat session then pedalled off to pick up a back wheel for commuter bike.
Cruised home then headed to my local park - there was a roller blade comp on. Got a lift with a friend and jumped a few box jumps at another park.
Had dinner, then rode home. Right before my house, there was a BMW mashing wrong way down the street trying to get the green arrow, missed the cunt by inches, scared the shit out of me.

So I mounted up the ol' Hombres that I had modified to clear 25-9 years ago.
I also bent and reshaped my lever to sit flatter and closer to the bars. I wanted to get rid of the box wrench marks so I spent some time with a file, some sand paper and a bit of polish.

I had a couple local kids roll up while I was blasting Tom Petty in the garage and need some help. I ended up setting up a 12 year old with a new Monolever, Snafu dual upper, GTX, dual lowers, Evo II's, Eclat pads, a Ti Profile Imperial, 2 Aitken red walls, Eclat bb and some twisted PC's. The kid is a big kid but rides all the time and gets heckled alot by the older guys/skaters at the park so I wanted to give him a confidence boost. I felt good about getting him going...and then his mom gave me couple bucks. That kid could not stop giggling about how excited he was. It was a good day.

fixed a broke spoke on each wheel when i noticed a third spoke that was already cracked halfway through and had to buy another one.
I hate lacing up glands
also put on a new rimstrips on both wheels to replace all the ducttape/old tube rimstrips ive had forever (heavy as shit when i took it off and weighed it)
and when i reinstall my rear tire (same tube) it went flat after an hour of driving...
put in a new tube pumped it up, rode it about 10 ft and then PSSSSHSHHHHHHHHH!!!! a hole on the rimstrip side of the rear tube, wth???
replace that tube, go on this 15 mile group ride and at the furthest point while im just pedaling along, my front tube explodes, what the fuck
also got tirelevers and 2 patchkits from a pinata, that was dope
*just checked my tires, rear is flat

I'm in charge of the design and construction of the jump lines at the Castlerock Skills Park as well as the design and construction of the advanced pumptrack so I put in a couple hours of work down at the park to get things rolling for our demo day this weekend.

I really liked my shadow tire when I had it. I only got cause it was on sale at the shop and needed a tire in a pinch. It was a 1.9 Undertaker I believe.
Super grippy. Wore out fast but I got it cheap. Would buy their tires again.

as for the tires thats how it came and the front is a 2.35 while the back is a 2.25... i may swap them soon and see the results. either way i hate the dual giant tires i prefer 2.25 front and like a 2.1 back but if the bike came with that it wouldve been perfect

According to my fagwit yank housemates, they tuned four loko down so it's far less deadly.
If this isn't actually the case, I up your ante to a one RNC barend in exchange for said beverage.

I made an 11t cog/driver for my King hub. The stock lock-ring is designed to work with a 12t cog at the smallest so I had to turn it down. I don't have access to a lathe so... I built a ghetto jig to mount up on my drill press and used a file to take the material down.
you should find an 11t single speed specific cog for that. the lock ring looks sweet!

Thanks man. The lockring was fun. It's the first time I used my drill press as a lathe. I just rounded out the edges by hand after taking material off. It turned out alright.
No one makes an 11t singlespeed cog that I was able to find. 12t is the lowest.
I know I'm running on less material but I'm going to end up running a 3/32" chain on this bike anyway so it should be alright. I'm hoping this 11t cog won't be on there for too long...

Anyone know if there are any halflink solutions to the collapse. The plates are pretty thick so the normal half link just gets crushed.
Post by: Austin Tasseltine on December 13, 2011, 08:54:26 AM
find someone with a spare one? a shadow link might do the trick as well

i first cracked them while doing a 18-stair, they just broke when i did about 2m (80 inches or somethin) drop. it was quite a narrow place to land, so i tried it 3 times. first time my foot blew off the pedal, second time i drove into a wall, third time would have been perfect, when suddenly there was a loud boom and i saw my pedal flying around busting sparks and sh*t. i luckily didn't get hurt or anything. oh and they were the v2's.
also recieved my royal v2's today so luckily i can ride again! stoked!

i kinda wanted them to break, because they were pretty old and bent, also new cranks were on the way. i wasn't expecting the break and i had never broke cranks before so it kinda scared me.
Your foot would blow off those pedals, they're the reason I gave griptape a shot & still shinned myself. Hate those pedals

i think those pedals are really nice, they are magnesium, sealed bearings, light, and if you put on the long pins you cant slip pedals very easily, i haven't got a shinner in like 6 months, maybe you had the short pins? also, i got them for like 15$ so i'm happy. i slipped pedals because of the impact, im pretty sure that would have happened even i had twice the pins.

Holy shit. I wanted one of those so badly back in the day. Isn't there something funny about the seat tube?
It has the same seat tube that they use on the 125R frames. So you have to use a 27mm post, but it still uses a 28.6mm (1-1/8") seat clamp.
I picked this up earlier this year in a trade deal. It was in rough shape (a few layers of paint, dents, brake mounts cut-off, etc.) So I sent it to Standard and had the mounts replaced, then my brother-in-law fixed some dents and painted it the shop he works at.
Original color, Ford Dark Highland Green.

I really wanted a Deathrow or V2 deathrow but that MAC is looking great. I also am pretty partial to the Ivy5 since i liked my ivy3.

Why are some people acting like $40 for that guard is so insane? Normal aluminum guards are $25, United had some alum guard with a steel insert for $35 even. I think my old Mutiny guard with the steel piece was like $30... so for a 100% heat treated 4130 guard, $40 doesn't seem unreasonable. As long as it isn't made too thin, it should more than make up for the cost difference in longevity.

Within hours of the parameds locking my bike up to the closest rack it was already stolen. So needless to say it feels really great to have a bike, even though I still can't physically ride it.
A bunch of my bmxfu homies got all their spare parts together and were able to give me a really good deal. So thanks to the FU and Orb's Garage I'm rolling again.
I've got some black pedals, going to strip the chain/stem/headset and I think it'll be good. I'll do a bikecheck once all that stuff is done.

Purchased a gsport guard and some pedals that look exactly like diety compound pedals. Might get the plastic with metal pins set if the ones I got work great.
Are they cheaper versions? I'd give those a try on my MTB...

Why are some people acting like $40 for that guard is so insane? Normal aluminum guards are $25, United had some alum guard with a steel insert for $35 even. I think my old Mutiny guard with the steel piece was like $30... so for a 100% heat treated 4130 guard, $40 doesn't seem unreasonable. As long as it isn't made too thin, it should more than make up for the cost difference in longevity.
Well then guess thats why I grabbed my FBM second hand.
See, there is no description on dan's, & just now there is a picture. So if it is true 4130 & heat treated that explains it. I just figured it was mild steel.

Yep, heat treated 4130. It should last a lot longer than an aluminum guard IMO.

The compounds were $48 +shipping I believe. I got the all plastic Ezra pedals for $20. And the ones that are basically diety compounds are $30.
HMMMMM.....
I'll have to look into these. I've been wanting some wider pedals for my MTB but I'm on a tight budget.
EDIT: And for the record, while I usually try to support my LBS I cannot get over the ridiculous markup on pedals. I will never pay full price for a new set of nice pedals... so if I can save on them I will.
Post by: Trent on January 11, 2012, 04:19:13 PM

I don't know if the actual materials are different but $30 is awesome no matter what. And I was going to spend my money at the shop for some pedals but everything was $20+ so I had to pass.

Yeah, good price for what look like identical pedals. I'd also be throwing them on my 6" FR bike so it's not like they'd be seeing huge impact forces (as opposed to a bmx bike). I would be concerned about rock strikes ripping out the pins but I figure that will happen to any pedal.

Sputnic Stratocaster v2a, bought it for 50$ almost exactly 3 years ago. She served me well, hoping to have her welded then a gusset put over the crack. As for how it happened im clueless, heard some creaking to find that as the culprit.

i laced up a chrome gsport ribcage rim with new spokes. i also installed new hub bearings along with a gdh cromo axle and a shim pack. the last time i replaced my driver i didn't know i had to push the pawls inward as i was tightening the cone nuts so it slightly damaged each of the spots where the springs and pawls go. i cleaned that up though with some light sanding and bent each spring inward a tiny bit to make installation easier. it ended up a little bit quieter too, but it still has solid engagement. i switched from the stock old style 114mm profile axle to the new 110mm in hopes of getting my s&m cymbal hubguard to fit properly. i can't wait for winter to give me a break so i can try it all out.

It just needs a few more mods (brake arm removed, homemade un-brake adjusted) and a Standard 24tpi axle then it will be laced and put on my Shorty.

Got my second flat in a week. Anyone else running Momentums that feels like they get flats more regularly?
if you keep getting flat's, wrap the inside of the tire with 2 or more layers of thick duct tape. It really works good, ran a bald khe street for a year like that with no flats at all and my driveway is about 500 meters long with a thorn bush next to it....good stuff

Tried to find the source of a slow puncture and failed. So annoying. Can't find air leaking anywhere, put it in water to look for bubbles and nothing.
maybe its the valve pin? or just the valve?

I rode it. Did a rocknroll-disaster-revert, if that is at all the correct terms for it. I was happy.
Rock and roll would be translated from the skateboarding as a sprocket to 180 back in. If you rolled up and landed on your sprocket, then went fakie and did the revert......... sprocket chunk to revert?
Can't wait for the shit talking replies...haha. But I just watched the Russell Wadlin pedal grind naming video and it has my mind working on overdrive on the trick name front. But the important thing here is that you were happy. And that heart warming bull shit is what it is all about!!

I rode a bike with 48's the other day. The stiffer wheels made it worth the extra bit of weight you add, in my opinion. It didn't seem crazy heavy or un ridable by any means.

hugh. we have some stuff in the shop. you know, having a rider owned shop within commuting distance could be handy at times... if it's 48 hole stuff you're looking for, i'll have a look tomorrow and since it's not exactly popular, i'm sure we could do you a deal dude. just ask you lunatic...
It's only a front hub that I was looking for off someone else. The only ones that seem to be possible to find would be gsports and that's still pretty difficult. If you had a ratchet or v3 cassette in 48 I'd happily snap it up once I get a bit of money.

I am sore as fuck though, and I love it. I'm sure I'm equally as sore from falling as I am from riding.

Hah I hope not! The guy dosn't even live in Hawaii but wants our area code......yeah I dont know. On a side note the seat is holding up great!
808

he said he lives in cali but is from hawaii. I promise his seat will be different from yours. If he even sends me a seat to re-cover...

James, do you only do custom covers with bases you have or will you let people send you their seat/foam to be recovered?
if it happens to be a seat i do not have... I like to use new seats cause typically a seat is pretty nasty under the cover once it has been used for a while. I don't mind doing a seat for someone who wants to hold onto a seat that is not readily available anymore though

I break pivotal bases like crazy because I tailwhip like shit so I used the Animal Bikes padding and cover on an Odyssey Senior2 base which has beefed up plastic braces so it's tough enough to handle my sucktitude..
If I could get it recovered I'd try to get new foam and strip the whole thing down and clean it before sending it off because sending you an ass sweat harvest is pretty fucked up.

Umm been running the burns bars since they came out in Australia. So guessing since August or so. Saying that I prob ride one or twice a week and I'm not ultra hard rider pretty much nibbling. But I've talked to Jamie mauri ex bonedeth and jay Wilson current bonedeth and they have t had any drama's, yes they where/are sponno'd so might be biased info. I've bent the left side of the bars back. I can't feel it but can see it very easily
Ask Abe/big Ben he's a harder rider than me could give you a better run down

Are there a lot of front brake users on the board? I was just thinking today that I needed to see if there is a "riders with glasses" appreciation thread as well as a list of members on the board who use front brakes. I know Paranoidmexican gets down as well. And mattchu too!

This are so fun to do. Risky though.
Put my pegs on and actually rode it for the first time in like a week or two.

wandering around the backstreets of SF we found this area
(http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9043/120401002.jpg)
which also had giant pools of glass
got a giant shard in the microknobbie and put in a new tube and threw a fit faf in the front
then my rear wheel started feeling lumpy and before i could even stop and look down at it, my tioga powerblock sidewall blows out. so i put in a fit faf and another tube in the rear.
rear tube patch job blows a leak.
put in another rear tube and super sketchy old patch job that has been holding for a while... stops holding
and as of right now i have a big goathead in my front tire but its still holding air :/
my bike also feels heavy as hell with those fafs, fml, my arms are dead

Back wheel is 36 down to 28 spoke (snapped another last week) when I went to check realized most are on the same side, one after another.
Going to have to take the whole thing off and pretty much rebuild it.
What a pain in the ass.
Straddle cable looks haggered but no one seems to sell them online.
Also regretting buying purple pedals and grips ages ago. I want them black now but im not wasting money on cosmetics.

I think he may need to be careful, I have almost the same tire set up as him(but a KHE street), I almost pay too much attention as what is on the ground in front of me.

Rode home and bombed down a pretty large hill on a busy road under construction. I was nervous I was going to get run off the road and into a sign or something. But I then realized I needed to slow down because I am starting to pass the cars. As I was passing one car the guy yelled "I'm going 30, you're hauling ass". So I would say I was cooking pretty good in that crammed area.

Spokes came through! Replaced 8 broken and one that looked like it was on the way out.
I had to guess what I was doing based of what I had done years ago but I think it worked out ok.
Thankfully I chucked a spare tube on the order as low and behold I gave myself a snake bite putting the tire back on (Taking that fucker on and off was the hardest part)
Gave the hub a clean up, sorted the headset and tuned the brake (still needs work but itll do)

Good eye Tom. Yes, Antigram hub. Because it actually subtracts grams from your bike the longer you ride it (bad joke).
Not out yet, but should be sometime this summer. Sorry to be so vague about release date but that is all I have for now. You know I won't leave you dudes hanging and will spill the beans on this hub as soon as I can.

I measured my 4pc Federal 20/20s. I thought the 4pc version of the 20/20 were only made in 8" rise? Mine came out to 8.25. My Tree Branches felt a little smaller with I switched them out. I hope I can cut them soon because I like how solid they felt.

I just measured my Federals and they also have an 8.25" rise. I also suspect that they are considerably lighter than Federal's specification suggests.

I got new shoes AND pedals today. I have run nothing but Eastern pedals for 6 years, and I got a pair of Odyssey Twisted PC's that make me feel like I'm clipped in... this could be an interesting 420 Dilly Jam
Are you saying the Eastern pedals are not grippy?

When you do a ton of pedal grinds not many pedals stay super grippy. but actually due to the concave design a lot of the knurling is still used for traction… and Eastern didn't have any when they sent me more propaganda for my biased bicycle so I grabbed what was at my shop

My car got broken into last weekend and my car is in the shop right now getting fixed and I definitely forgot to take my front wheel out of my trunk. No bikes for me for at least a week.
Couldn't you just drop by and pick up your wheel?
As for myself, I fixed my blown headset and cleaned all the rain off it when I got home.

It's pretty sick I'll snap some pics of it tomorrow of its not shitty out.

not having a $5 front wheel that wobbles so much it hits your forks is amazing!

Also to a crack at that gap I spoke of before. Didn't clear the sidewalk but I didn't fall so it's just a matter of shooting off and setting up for this in the short period of time you have coming off the downhill curve. Here's what it looks like.

Not the first owner, i traded my strands for these a while back and they were only a month old. Maybe they can do a crash replacement? I dunno about forks. I know this has happened to these more than usual. Maybe my lbs can deal with it.
Just find some used Odyssey Dirt Forks in the Sell/Swap and never worry about your forks again.

Went out for my third ride of the year afterwards and after just a couple 180s and manuals I snapped the chain... Sucks cause there is no good bmx shops near by, especially cause I need a half link. I seem to go through chains faster than fucking grips.

Thanks! I really love how this stem looks, especially when matched with a Tree cap. It could be sitting totally flush if I trim my forks down a little bit. I'm real lazy about that though, so it'll probably stay this way for a while.

Ripped the back wheel off, stripped it down ready for a new tire whenever I get one.
Cranks were creaking aswell so had them off and jigged it about, gave them a clean and moved some spacers about and its all good again.
Took the pegs off just to make it easier to move/shove in the storage space it lives in.
Considered taking the tire off the front and moving it to the back so most of the annoying shit like chain tension and brakes were sorted but changed my mind as sods law id rip the tube or fuck up the tire in the process and be even more stuffed!

This setup is in my friend's backyard... super tight and tech and nothing is huge. All the berms are epic. He is really good at digging berms and bowling out the flat bottoms. Most of the local pros pass this spot by because there isn't anything bigger than 5'5" lip by 9' gaps. You can ride here all day and not get tired of it there are so many options.
To get through the lines without pedaling you really need good bike control to be able to carve deep into berms and pump. OPTIONS man!!!!

Ohio. It is fun and there is so much going on packed into a small space that it makes it a challenge. Really good to hone your skills on. Pretty much everything can be ridden backwards too. So you can do loops out and back and pump up to the rolling and start again. Two main lines both can be linked and each one has about 3 variations. We have a wallride planned for the step up that will open up another line!

So... I noticed a car with a door open pulled over to the edge of the parking lot where the entrance to the trails is (they are on state land behind a shady shopping center and high rise apartments)... a man and a woman were coming out of the brush going back to the car. Seemed odd... went back the jumps... came back out of the woods 10 minutes later and a she had another business looking dude in the bushes giving him a bj.
Nice a prostitute working within 100 yards of the trails. Well I guess it is a matter of time before they get shut down now. They have been running almost 3 years...

Went out to a trail spot 1.5 miles from where I work... we got a lot of rain today. I wanted to be able to gauge how well they drain so I know when they are ridable based upon puddle sizes along the road.

The small patch of woods where the trails are... are sandwiched between a spooky hr geiger esque high rise bombed out apt building and another apartment building that looks like it would be on a Beck album cover from the 90's.

Aggie from Federal hooked up a whole bunch of their new wax to try out. I know its just wax but the thought that went into making this stuff is impressive, the 2 sides for rails and ledges and the fact that it fits in your pocket is neat. I'm going to have to get over screaming at rollerbladers for waxing ledges now...

Is there a trick to staying over the coping? I tend to do fly out 180 downside whips whenever I try them.

My Marmoset is tightening really stupid in my forks. I have dual knight guards on it. When i tighten it one of the guards is fine but the other acts like a screw and pushes my wheel to the other side, like really bad. It doesn't do it when i put the wheel on backwards though. I would like to keep the knight guards on but don't know what to do. Only things i can think of is dishing the wheel to the other side or taking my tire off and putting it facing the right way with a backwards wheel. pls help
Fixed that problem today. I trued my wheel so it's in line now and doesn't hit. Went to ride it then my ratchet skipped, took my wheel off and lubed my driver up. Noticed the helicoil coming out so i clipped the part that i could not push back in but while i did that ,even more helicoil came out so i had to push it in with 2 screwdrivers. My bike feels nice kind of.

My axles always seem to crossthread and its a pain putting on hub guards and shit. I also put a new coat of flat black on my forks and added a 2mm spacer. Shit is rocking right now. Also put on 4 pegs.

Park looks fun.
Decided I need to repaint my cranks and front wheel, get some new grips and pedals and that I want to strip the anodizing off my sprocket.
Shame I cant atleast take the parts off and strip them for fear that Ill get asked to ride tonight :p

Also got a dent in my crossbar on my 4pc'ers. Made me sad for a while. Looking for a cool sticker to cover it up now.
Also missed my front peg while hauling ass to DP the quarter. I caught myself and did a wild cartwheel on accident.

Love how people try to act like WD40 is useless, just to try catch people out.
WD stands for water displacer so it is in fact the opposite of a lubricant. WD40 is helpful in some applications but is for the most part something that doesn't need to be close to a bicycle.

Im guessing its the heat? checked the tube and it looks like how it comes out of the packet. Never seen a tube come out like that before.
What are the odds the air has just leaked out totally as I cant see any damage and I crushed t as much as I could underwater (no pump) and didnt get any bubbles..
Annoying as fuck though.

I'm trying to save time to focus on making the most of our time with the rented Cat so I'm building the trick booter at my house.
Right now it sits at 4ft tall with an 8ft radius. I still need to add the top 2ft for a grand total of 6ft. I also need to cross brace it and add the back-half framing.
We'll be launching into a dredge spoil/sand setup for a soft landing to learn tricks into.
I'm building this thing solo in my garage so I tried to do a little "self photography" work with a tripod and point and shoot.

Yep. Zane's got it. There is no surface. I just rolled it on my BMX bike and it's nice and smooth even with 100psi in the tires.
I'll grab some pics of it completed once I yank it out of the garage to load it up.

I'll help. What hub & frame?
Post by: Austin Tasseltine on June 06, 2012, 11:23:26 PM
its a v1 fit hawk (that was fucked anyway, dents all over, rewelded tt/ht), federal 9t coaster (with primo dsg which doesnt help the chainline as it pushes the driver inwards a bit), and a 30t mds with extra guard.
hammered the cs in a bit for some extra clearance, chainline is a bit better now at least (hopefully my chain will stop kinking up), but the sprocket still only clears by a gnats cock
i was thinking of buying a new frame soon but i dont know what would be compatible with my favoured sprocket setup besides another sunday (lots of clearance with a wishbone). i really wanted an sta though dammit
Post by: Professor Horatio Hufnagel on June 06, 2012, 11:29:57 PM
You'll need to measure BB width and dropout-to-teeth on the coaster (probably 68mm & 13mm respectively but confirm it anyway) if you want to work it out anyway

just replaced chain.
the only way i could get the wheel slammed was to have a very tight chain, like very tight. now i'm second guessing if this is gonna have any negative impact on the bike. i know with a bit of time it'll stretch, but while it's this tight, will there be any harm done to my hub or chain?
hmm
it might mess with the bearings in the driver

New grips yet to come, probably my old 28t to give my knees a rest from 3.33:1, and possibly swapping my old bars back in

Thanks. But it's been about 6 years since I owned some ody forks and I'm really diggin the f25s. Kinda waitin to see if they come in white or something
Sadly the F 25's will probably only ever come in black. There are enough people buying front brake forks to make them, but not enough people buying them to make multiple colors.
bmxelement - front brake brotherhood!!!! I liked the switch from my Classic Freestyle forks to the F-25. Felt like I gained just a tad more control on a few of my front end tricks.

Cleaned them all. mtb derailleur bits are such a faff to clean, too many little tight spots that collect shit.
If your pulling the derailleur off the bike there is a super simple way to clean them.
Grab a crock pot from a thrift store on the cheap, fill it with water and a little dish soap, not a lot, just a couple drips. If you have grease cutting dish soap use that, but anything will work. Turn the crock pot on low and drop the derailleur in.
The warm slightly soapy water will make grit and grime that's been caked on for years wipe right off.
I'm too cheap to buy a proper solvent tank for my garage(I've got one at work though if I REALLY need to use on). So I use the crockpot method for small parts. Some parts are too big for the crock pot, so I have a big 10 gallon storage container with concentrated simple green and a fish tank water circulator in it for big part.
Between the two, parts cleaning is super simple and easy.

then i got home, smoked a bowl to feel less murderous and got out everything i need to set up a different pair of brakes since these the fly brake arms i'm running keep slipping with the brake pad fully tightened down. plus the pads were toed in so that the top of the pad had about 2mm of space when the bottom of the pad hit the rim and they still chattered and vibrated loose. i haven't checked my spokes, but i bet i'm gonna need to true the rim where the pad snagged. i figure i'll put my evo2 on, then at least i'll have a functioning brake that won't lock up my rear wheel the same way 2 times in a week leaving me an easy target for grimy ass scumfuck bike thieves.

I woke up this morning and headed out the door to go take some measurements for the new bike shop we're starting and see that I've left my new wheel leaning against my truck tire all night right next to the sidewalk.
I rode BattleGround/Vancouver yesterday on my trails/DJ/bike, I didn't want to run the knobby Aitken that was on it in the park so I grabbed the wheel I laced up the other day that had an Aitken street tire on it and swapped them out when I got to BG park.
When I got home, I took the wheel out of my turck, set it down and unloaded the rest of my gear. I was tired, and fell asleep early and clearly forgot the wheel outside. Luckily no one in my neighbor hood decided they needed a brand new Marmoset laced to an Envy front rim with DT Swiss double butted spokes. It sat outside for 14hours, plain as day, and easy grab. Luckily, all my neighbors are old folk who don't have a clue about bike gear and theft is extremely rare.
I'm headed back down to the shop to take shipment of our counters/displays now then it's back home to build up my T1 Ruben!

when i relaced my marmoset, i fucked up by not keeping the original lace pattern. the outer grind spokes had formed indents in the hub flanges, and if i had repositioned the new outer spokes along the same indents, the spokes would have had less to aluminum to bend around after being smashned by the gland which was smashed by the ledge i was grinding... i dont even comprehend mh text anymore
i also dont like going from
48mm primopro topload stem > 50mm odsy stem
27.5x8 slams > 28x8,25 lumberjacks
feels heavier (even though it should be lighter)
w/ that extra .25in it seriously makes it about 5x as hard to xup, wtf
and that extra reach omfg i cant stand it. i cant explain it but it feels like shit

Walked out with some odyssey 4x4 bars,longnecks, bunch of shield stickers, another seat to hang on the wall for the end of days and a medium mono lever, her Sunday keeps getting more hideous and I like it!
Covered for the 4pc to challenger trend. Now I just need to get some f25's and new front wheel and left brake lever

Drilled out the top cap of some P.O.S. forks with 990's to fit this awesome front brake set up I've barely got to use.
Replaced the cable wire in my Nokon cable.
Set up my front brakes.
Got blisters on two of my left fingers.
Rebuilt my KHE Geisha Lite freecoaster and reduced the slack.. Still need to find my spoke tool to finish that up..
Up next will be cleaning and rebuilding the hubs.. then cleaning out the frame and setting up new cranks..
My bike got completely submerged in some awesome salt water so now I get to tear the bike apart and clean all the rust/bearings/bullshit.

Re adjusted my headset so it didn't feel like shit.
Built my KHE Geisha lite up to a 48h Hoffman Generator and I'll get to play with that when I sort out my cranks.
Besides that, it's not what I did to my bike but what my bike did to me.. which was give me a peg to the shin while I was wearing shorts so it busted open and bled all over the friggin' place.

Back pedal? What are you not getting?
Way easier than peg feebles. Go FAST. Keep front tire going straight forward Push down hard on foot. Stay off sprocket/chain/shoes.

I've got a couple of folding tires I could give you a deal on. Odyssey dirt path klyte 2.20 and a folding ghl-r 1.95. The Odyssey is only a few weeks old and has like 99% tread and the animal is a couple months old and has about 90%. 35 shipped for both?

Hoping for a big difference going from a 36t/13t freewheel setup, to a cassette. Probably a lot lighter as well, since currently riding wheels of a 6-7 year old Wethepeople Compete.

Laced up the wheel for my flat bike project. Front hub is on order. Hope to be popping some wheelies by next weekend.
Odyssey Aerospace rim laced to KHE Geisha Lite (special shout out to Bunky Master Flex!!). The rim is the "deep purple" color. It essentially looks black until the sunlight catches it just right. It is really hard to get a picture to turn out. That was the best one I could get. Super rad looking rims through. I recommend them to anybody who likes the aero style rims.

Went to the skate park and tried working on airing quarters a little. This is best I could get without getting sketchy in the air. Any tips for airing higher? It's scary going at a quarter pipe fast haha.
my advice would be learn on a big quarter but that one doesn't look a bad size. its also good in a pipe because you build up speed without realising as you do them so you go faster

New black Bluebird chain, Fly Zapatas pads, ODI Longneck XL (cut to length) grips.
Next will be new rims and spokes.

Hop earlier than you think you should and try to table into the wall,bend your knees a lot on impact so you can extend them and hop off of the wall.

you definetly don't need to do a table while trying to wallride, that will probably fuck you up. you need to tilt yourself with the bike, but the wallride is about crashing in the wall diagonally, not only tilting yourself, if that kinda makes sense.
i can wallride this at at my local to a fairly excepatble standard, but i'm trying it on a normal brick wall, tomorrow i'll give it another attempt

The first Bluebird I've had that's been gold (matches half link colour) and I'm running a gearing I don't need a half link for. Stoked to have a spare unworn half link anyway as I have a billion spare lengths of 510 links and make new chains out of it from time to time
Brakes are going on when I CBF. I already have all the mounts/guides/gyro plate/gyro installed so I don't have to do it when I get around to putting the brakes (plural) on. The gyro is tied to the gyro plate so it doesn't rattle around while I'm getting around brakeless

I've always hated the way medium levers feel stock. I always take a wrench and put a nice curve in it. It feels better when its on the bend of the bars as well.

The one that goes to the west entrance of my job is dangerous since it goes right into a haul road and it's bumpy as fuck. The other one is to the east main entrance and it has a blind curve but it's smooth. And the one coming from the opposite end of the east entrance is just a straight shot down hill but the train tracks make it dangerous.

the brakes haven't happened yet. they more than likely will though, just to play around. wouldn't mind fuf'ing something. pegless came about out of boredom and to try and "de-rutt" my riding. really enjoying it to be honest, though you can't beat doing a rail or some sub box action.

If that Mosh hub uses the same axle/hardware as a sealed Suzue/og Vandero it should fit.
Removed my 30-10 and went back 28-9 in anticipation of my new wheels.............. expensive drivers suck.

Quote from: Ralph Wiggum;3587201
I had a Carlos kind of night. Was going to go for a ride on the DB24 and discovered the front tire was flat. Drove to the bike shop and got a tube. Installed the tube and headed out. Made it a little over a mile before I heard a hiss hiss hiss coming from the back end. Ran over a fucking nail just long enough to puncture the tire/tube. Since the puncture was so tiny I was able to make it home before it went completely flat. Went back to the shop and bought two tubes, installed the rear tube and decided to drink beer instead of going for a ride.
I feel ya, that's how it is down here in Mexico sometims! I threw away so many tubes back in the day before I realized patching works great.

I only patch in an emergency. Whenever I'd try to patch to save a tube and continue riding it, the patch would always fail at the most inopportune time. Yet I had friends that could run tubes with a dozen different patches and never have any of the patched areas fail. :dunno:

The only patch I've ever had fail is one of the self adhesive ones. That was only because it was a cheapo supermarket brand shit one. Patching tubes is like the first thing you learn how to do to your bike, surely?

Hand rails. I never do them and always seem to think I can but I never try. I like grinds but I'm just not good at them. I am good at some grinds on small ledges but when they get about stem height I can't connect. Plus I get bored of grinds because I can't do anything out of them.
Maybe I'll get more comfortable on my frame and can manage to get over some hurdles. But yeah I have a love hate relationship with pegs.

Rode a concrete skatepark for the first time. I enjoyed riding the hips but the rest was a bit meh, small ramps so probably made more for skaters than bikes. Loads of foot high ledges for long high speed feebles.. Taking my pegs off as I completely overdid those today. Decided I only really enjoy riding trails now though, too many skaters and scooterers with no park etiquette. Considering selling the bmx because trails are rideable on my mtb :\ Gonna clean up the road bike today, its filthy.
Street on a MTB feels so goofy though.

Did this a few years ago due to complete laziness, works amazing considering how little work it takes.

Haha! Yeah, that was me. Early monday morning I was just minutes away from placing an order for a tan one through blackout, but I decided to check T1's website first for the freaky-friday update. I'm super thankful that I did, because this thing to me is one beauty of a bmx bike.

I love my SFA, i got this/last years model direct from Joe. I bought it for a trails bike & have gradually been piecing it together, waiting on a cyclops stem & then im gunna get some new forks, a brake set up & probably some 8.85" T-1 bars & it'll be pretty much complete. On the other side of that ive got a Custom FBM coming which is for Flatland/Street which is worlds apart from the long, stable & smooth feeling SFA.
PS.. Bike Check! :)
That sounds so badass, man! Joe has always been awesome whenever I've purchased frames/etc. from him in the past, and this time was no different. I'm super pumped to have another T1 frame with welded mounts, and to have supported one of the best dudes in bmx. A bike check may happen soon, depending on when I can get out my camera.

I put a few coats of gray primer on the frame/fork/bar and a friend airbrushed all of the detail on with a bunch of stencils he had for splatter detail. then put an entire can of matte lacquer on it.

Currently putting some Tree 9" bars on, along with chopping down my non-front brake forks, and then going over to the skatepark to get some riding in. Stoked.
Where'd you get them bars?
I'm curious what the difference is between the new "Moto" bars and the Sequoia bars, because it looks like both are going to come in 8.5" rise...

9" bars, are they out then? Or did you get some special hook up? i cant imagine 9" rise bars i cant get on with anything over 8" myself!
I started working at Tree a bit over a month ago, and was lucky enough to start just as new parts were coming in. The bars aren't out yet, but if Sam is happy with them and the dudes like everything, then things should be flowing quite soon. I snagged these sample 9"rise/4*up ones earlier today because we didn't need them for any team/photo stuff.

I guess the most notable difference is the more traditional box shape. They aren't as tight as the Sequoias were, but thankfully they don't look like just another huge slam bar copy. They come in three sizes (8.5"x28.5", 9"x29.5, and 9.5"x30) and all of them have cut lines, come threaded for bar ends, and they are all still available in either one or four degree upsweep.
I went from uncut Sequoias, so before I went out to ride I cut my 9"s down to 28.5" wide, and chopped close to half an inch off my non-front brake forks. I only got two hours in at the park tonight, but I like the way they fit/feel on my bike so far.

Can't wait, will definitely be fitting a set of the 9"x4° up on my bike. Can you cut them to 27.75 and still have threads for the barends?

Yeah, you should be able to do that no problem. The threads went in pretty far on my pair still, and thats only 3/4" difference to what mine are currently cut down to.

No word on when they'll be available for purchase yet, but if I remember, I'll ask Sam about them tomorrow. I know we took some photos of all the bars last week. More info will be out there soon.
Glad you dudes like them!

You'd better pick up some bearings for that remix while you can, those things won't last long.

It uses 6802s in the shell, the same bearings usually used in drivers, if you're careful they might survive, but it's probably best to have a set of bearings on hand...
where do you take this information? i have a remix. haven't done a singe fucking thing to it for over a year. did a huge 180 drop and messed up my back real hard, my ribcage got heavily out of true (broke like 4 spokes or something). not a damn thing happened to the hub. not to mention all the other stuff i have done and just daily rididing/commuting. so please, if you don't have any personal experience then stfu :) no offense though, im just saying.
i must say it skips sometimes though and that is kinda annoying. its nice and clean and on the inside and the all the springs seem to work well, dunno why its doing those small skips sometimes. still a pretty good hub though, it isn't very expensive and all the replacement parts are cheap too.

I'm not saying the Remix is weak, or even that it's a bad hub, I'm saying that 6802 bearings are tiny, and in most cases, are really not very durable at all.
A friend of mine got a remix shortly after they came out, and if I remember correctly he was on his 3rd set of bearings when he got rid of it recently.
If you don't get any dirt or sand in there they should last most people a while, but I guess I'm just butthurt that Primo made such a shitty move with the bearings.

eh, i must say i wanted to buy the og mix but it was sold out. the bearings are fine like i said but it kinda rolls slow. when im riding it, it feels good, but when you spin the wheel in hand it is kinda slow. but meh, since it hasn't given me any headaches and the driver bearings are perfect, i'd say it's a decent hub. always could be better though.
Empire still has og mixes I think.

I have fucked wheels up hard before, i've owned various mixes in the last 5-6 years and can definitely vouch for their durability. I just jumped at the chance of getting an up-to-date wheel at a good price.
I'll just be careful with it and check all the bearings every few months, it can't be that bad and bearings are cheap anyway I daresay.

Well, I waited for parts to pop on craigslist that I wanted, then I would buy them.
I think I can go through most of it off the top of my head:
Wheels = $50 +$3 for 3 replacement spokes, craigslist
Tires = $25 each, wholesale
Tubes = $10 each, retail
Cassette & Chain = $40ish, retail hookup
Crankset & BB = $65, craigslist
Pedals = $80, wholesale
Bar Tape = $15, retail
Frame, Fork, and Seat post clamp = $120, Craigslist
Stem = $20
Bars = $25
Shifters = $135 for the set (Ultegra Rear and 105 Front), Craigslist
Derailleurs = $30 for the ultegra rear, $10 for the Dura-ace front
Seat Post = $100, retail
Headset = $50 retail
Seat = $80 wholesale
Cables = $20
Which would come out to about $900, but keep in mind I've been building this over two months, tires, tubes, stem, bars, pedals and seat I already had, and a lot of this stuff came with extras, so I have extra Front derailleurs now, and couple little nick nacks. I enjoyed meeting all the random roadies on CL most though.
Also, keep in mind that I may have spent $900, but there's a lot of parts on here way better than what you'd find on a $1600 ride.

Similar situation here, I work 50-60 hour weeks (second shift), so that pretty much kills my week except Sundays. Thankfully I start a new job on Monday. Salary position, 1st shift hours and more free time....... I can't wait. More time to ride and finally finish some work on my house.

What's a custom standard go for if you don't mind me asking?
Post by: Austin Tasseltine on October 11, 2012, 07:12:43 AM
I also originally enquired about custom standover height ($45) cos the new style STAs from a couple of years back were real low, but the newer version has a better standover. im kind of torn cos i like a short backend but i also like running my bashguard on the inside which doesnt allow for much clearance unless the frame uses a wishbone design (like a sunday) so i dunno.
I really want an STA but to get it how i want is gonna cost a lot. The guy i was talking to suggested getting a juke, maybe a juke with the classic standard gusset would be a good compromise

Originally made in the USA but supposedly the majority of them broke so they switched production to Taiwan.
Theyre about to change the shape, I was on the fence about ordering them but the new ones look real crappy compaired to the originals, so the current model was ordered.

Wroked on the road bike a little instead. New tube, adjusted some stuff since I finally have about 100 miles on it.
Looking forward to Monday. New job, will be off work by 5 daily, so I should be able to ride all of the bikes a LOT more.
Stoked.

I haven't had any issues. I'm running 180mm cranks too. However I do ride left foot forward and x-up to the right. I'm too much of a puss to try barspins, so as far as I'm concerned the foot/tire clearance is good.

I have not gotten it checked out, the swelling has gone down quite quickly as has the bruising. There is just a little resonating pain and swelling but overall its not too bad.
Was the pain terrible with the bone and ligament gone? because I'm not in all that much pain about a week later

Cut the lugs off & removed brazed part of the nut as it was going to be Tig welded on. To gain the height back on the mount we welded the cut down mount to a nut (the same final height as before) & then moved the mounts 13mm closer to the seat tube (to where they should be)
No mounts

There goes my rear roll cage.
I won't guess at warranty since we have an Odyssey employee on here, but just because it has this hole, there is no reason to retire the rim. I had a hole like that in my 7ka for years and it had no effect on anything. I later sold it to a kid that is really abusive and eventually it cracked at the weld, but the hole never got worse or caused a failure.

Did this to my rim sometime in the last time I rode. There goes my rear roll cage. Any idea if this would be a warranty-able? Shot in the dark, I am not asking Gsport to give me a new rim. Just wondering
(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff195/Back2Bmx/20121025_075307.jpg)
Pretty certain that wouldn't be anything covered under the normal warranty. From the picture it appears that there was some sort of impact that caused the hole. You can email warranty (at) odysseybmx.com and he can give you the final answer. Might be worth sending his way just to see what he has to say.
Did you hit it on an upright on a rail or something? That is a crazy looking hole.
I laced up a wheel once and cased the shit out of it first run at the skatepark. Completely ruined the rim... I feel your pain.

Pretty certain that wouldn't be anything covered under the normal warranty. From the picture it appears that there was some sort of impact that caused the hole. You can email warranty (at) odysseybmx.com and he can give you the final answer. Might be worth sending his way just to see what he has to say.

I've seen a dude do this to a Hazard Lite rim by clipping the corner of a ledge real hard. He rode it for nearly two years after that just fine.

the only thing I could think of as to how it happened was, the other night I was trying a thread the needle Ice Pick between a ledge and a barrier and got sent. I thought my peg had caught the end of the ledge, I guess not.
Yeah its a bummer. I might have to lace up my old 7ka as that is the only rim that has held up in the rear for an extended period of time for me.
BTW Pegs, wondering in a general forum without directly contacting the company only offers the opportunity for speculation. Having Odsy and G-sport employees here only offers the benefit of speculation from the horse's mouth, as I would have to contact the warranty department directly for a final verdict (as Skateparkrider was nice enough to point out). I am fully aware of where fault lies when it comes to bike parts, I am no dumb 14 year old child. It was merely an attempt at a topic of conversation. Similar to how you would engage your friend after breaking something. i.e. "Dude I wonder if they would warranty that"

I'm debating on taking my gearing up to 33-11 in the next week or so for kicks.
Man up and go for 36-11 or 36-12

Ha! If we had 36t bolt drive sprockets in stock (all Tree carries in house above 33t is spline drive only, and I'm currently on some Fly cranks) you could consider it done.

Did this to my rim sometime in the last time I rode. There goes my rear roll cage. Any idea if this would be a warranty-able? Shot in the dark, I am not asking Gsport to give me a new rim. Just wondering
(http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff195/Back2Bmx/20121025_075307.jpg)
The warranty is against defects in materials workmanship that kind of thing, we are pretty generous with it, but there doesn't seem like a lot of doubt that an impact that can do that to a Rollcage would mangle pretty much any rim in a similar way (and many would fair much worse)...
Having said that, Logan (warranty at odysseybmx.com) is a super nice guy and he might well be offer you a crash replacement deal that will save you a fair bit of cash and get you rolling again, so worth hitting him up...

my mate bought a second hand wheel with a gsport rim that had been clipped like this as well (not as bad as pats mind) but yeah he rode it for ages with no problems.
i had to take my gland off today cos its ruined. i landed on the edge of it a couple of times when grinding a square rail and it bent a bit, and one of the holes where you tie it to the wheel pulled through. since then the rest of the holes pulled through as well and the whole thing got bent over and totally fucked which is a shame. had a good 7-8 years use though, gonna have to buy some new ones

Took 3pegs off. I want a frame with 33t clearance and big youre clearance. That exists?
Closest you will get is a sunday 3rd wave. Runs 30t with space and fits huge tires. You might be able to fit a 33t without spacers.

if I did that to a rim myself I wouldnt even think about a warranty, it'd be my own fault fucking it up while riding
either way your fishing got you a bite so you might get a cheaper replacement, I still say just ride it though

Not for my bike....but I usually build up new wheels for everybody in the office. Here is my first ever ti spoke build. Odyssey Vandero 2 laced to Aerospace rim with G-Sport nipples. I used 182mm spokes. I also went with the G-Sport nips because I heard you have to really tension ti spokes. Laced up like a champ. This is probably the 4th or 5th Aerospace rim I have laced up. Really really digging this rim. Seems like once you get the spokes up to tension, the rim just goes straight.

I ride Birdcages on my main bike. But I laced up new wheels for my flat bike a few months back and went with the Aerospaces. Its a tough call to make indeed.

So i tried the Stranger bars out today. Whilst my back loves them, I cannot get used to the height. Ive been running larger & larger bars & my hops keep getting lower & lower. So the Stranger bars are on my Marv, my mate rides it quite alot so i doubt he'll have the same issues i have. Ive just emailed Solid about getting some custom bars, theyre copies of the last bars i actually felt comfortable on & enjoyed riding with a little tweek of being slightly wider. Hopefully they will be able to do them & i shall be paying for them in a week or two after the FBM has arrived & all duties etc are paid!
