The Bike Shop / Could something about the hub shell repeatedly damage drivers

« on: February 28, 2021, 05:39:27 PM »

I got an Antigram wheel a while back it started slipping and stopped working when I took it apart, the c-clip and spiral retaining ring was chewed up and the pawls would not stay in, Odyssey sent me a new driver, now the same thing has happened after just a month, could something about the hub shell like a defect or damage be causing the damage to the new driver? Thanks!

The Bike Shop / MID BB width

« on: August 06, 2018, 04:07:42 PM »

Has the standard width for MID BB changed since it came out?, I have a S&M dirt bike from about 7 years ago with the mid BB and I just got some new Madera cranks, the spindle is 6" and too long, the profile site says "5.625″ (For BMX Freestyle Bikes)" I was gong to get a new frame in a couple months anyway but just wondering, thanks!

It looks like it would have been a change from 68mm to 73mm, it's not something I've ever thought about, I just thought there was one width for mid bbs

The Bike Shop / Profile flush mount washers

« on: June 12, 2017, 12:06:30 PM »

Hi,

I somehow lost one of the aluminum washers during my spring cleaning/rebuild
Does anyone know off-hand if these are standard washers, and if I could just buy 1 from a hardware site?

I know this sounds incredibly cheap but I don't want to put any more money into the bike than I have to because my body's so old I feel any moment could be my last (I tweaked my hamstring for a couple months getting out of my chair in the office haha)

The Lounge / My Mom invented aggresive rollerblading in the 50s

I think it was related to that watepark break in, but she started telling us how in the when she was a kid (in the 50's) her and her friend used to go to this spot behind a movie theater with a downhill part that went into a part of smooth concrete that went up--down-up and they used to shred back and forth (not her words haha)

The Bike Shop / S&M Speedballs slippery?

Maybe it's because the profiles different from Animal GLH (the only tire I'd ever used) but first turn on flat (asphalt!) were I leaned into it a bit they just washed out!
