U.K. / Zodiac pleg inserts

the crazy aluminium alloy ones. 2 10mm so you can drill them out if you want. never been used but have minor corrosion on the surface. make me a lowball offer on them... swap for anything considered

The Bike Shop / Re: Fly spring hanger brakes

« on: November 21, 2014, 02:27:13 PM »

So i did this back in the day with some odyssey brakes and a road bike spoke. it feels like shit and is a massive pain. the angle of the knarp entrance into the brake arm on the odysseys was just about right that it didnt stay in there at all well but luckily they had that bolt on top to clamp them into the arm. i guess fly will correct for this but without actually clamping to the arm i guess they are going to pop out here and there i would imagine.

my experience was just as g speculates. you also end up with the cable hanger kind of dangling around since the tension on the cable is pretty weak compared to that holding the brakes apart it isnt held in place properly by the cable. hard to explain. you also have to set the cable alignment up in the vertical plane in addition to the normal adjustments

I would expect that trying to push arms apart from the end of the hanger is going to put quite a bend into the hager/spring "legs" and give the brake a spongey feel, be interesting to hear how it goes for people in reality.

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
