The Bike Shop / Re: Animal bpe, best pedal ever?

IMO Best Pedal Ever.

I got them right after release and have had zero problems. I do loads of pedal grinds/Luc-e/UnLuc-e/Butcher grinds etc and they have lasted way better than I had expected. I did run some griptape on my right pedal for a while while I saved up for new bodies.

I read in some recent interview about how LZ was getting 3 signature parts. I think that had alot to do with the OG's guys leaving. They put in work, LZ comes along and straight away gets a nice salary while the OG's are still getting peanuts and then they got wind that he's automatically getting signature parts too. That would piss most guys off.

It's only a matter of time before he'll claim that he's the only reason Stranger is still going.

26 - some of those questions had me worried though.

The only thing I question in that Animal video is that Ralph states that both Nick B's work there. Nick Benson left Animal like 8 months ago and is at Cult?

Fuckin companies getting suites. No animal?

I thought Animal was done but this popped up and it's part one dealing with Animals "past". I guess part 2 is "present". looking forward the rest but hope part 3 "future" won't be Ralph saying "We're done".

While your part 1,2,3 for past, present and future makes perfect sense, There are only 2 parts. Part 2 is suppose to come out next tuesday or wednesday From what I was told by Epic, and I'll give you a spoiler: It does not end with Ralph saying that they are done.

This makes my day.

the spacer isnt angled, it just lifts the bottom bearing up a bit which means the headtube of the frame sits a bit higher up the fork steerer. the headtube angle thus becomes slightly slacker as a result, but it also affects the bb height of the frame and seattube angle

Ok got it. I was thinking they were trying to do a cheap Angleset headset.

fly spacer that goes under your lower bearing in your headset to slacken the geo of your frame-pretty sure a flat company (ares maybe?) did this around 10 years ago


Surely you can't just change headtube angle by adding an angled spacer to the lower race? If you change the angle with which the fork goes through the frame, the fork won't sit inside the top bearing correctly and force the bearing to follow the angle of the fork over the angle of the headtube. You're basically making the fork steerer run inside the headtube at an unparalleled angle.

I see more frames with taller headtubes which I like.

Death of the Spanish BB.

Although I don't really like Fly as a brand, they always have a nice booth.

I hope someone does a good job of filming and editing the rail comp.

With all the new products/completes going online over the past 2 weeks I doubt anything really ground breaking would have been held back.

G, I'd love to see Directors come back. Still love my V1's as they never hang up on grinds.

So I just had a brainstorm and made this from a conical carbon headset spacer. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10207773088585371&set=a.1233061306849.36129.1238654153&type=1&theater

It's a cover over the steel part of the Animal hubguard.

I'll see how it goes over the weekend. Might see some F1 type shrapnel flying around.

Thanks for the feedback.

Glands work like a treat and are pretty much indestructible. I've just put a S&M Cymbal on the rear and I've put the Gland on the front once I can get some extra spokes back in there. As a typical Animal supporter, I have about 8 broken spokes in the front.

I like the idea of Gland 3 over Gland 4. I'll investigate that more.
