The Bike Shop / What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

« on: March 05, 2013, 11:09:26 PM »

trying to decide on a new sprocket for my 26" cruiser. or better ... trying to find a decent 36t or even 33t one. not an easy task as it turns out ...

bikeguide really needs to make (slightly) larger sprockets popular again.

Profile should have every size known to mankind, but in Germany I bet it's really expensive.

I threw my luggage and video equipment on top of it. Hopefully I'll actually ride it tomorrow.

Close enough to tuesday. Bars turned a wee bit, too.

replaced my wrecked par ends with one brand new par end and one pretty used, but not as bad par end. It's what I had laying around.

Turn your bars a wee bit! For the greater good of tables everywhere.

This photo is years old, and I do turn my bars now, though I like the looks of this better, as long as it's into invert range. I don't know if I could go back to this style if I tired, though. This is a more recent shot that shows how they are now.

Did you chop your peg down Brett?

No, the flash angle resulted in the light being blocked for half of my peg. It's all there, just not all evenly exposed.

another tuesday, another table (yes, I know it's crossed over into invert territory, but to me table/invert, close enough.)

The Bike Shop / 22 inches

« on: February 15, 2013, 01:47:55 PM »

For you guys with the Holmes kits / wheels with 9T drivers, what gear ratio are you running?

I'm running 28/9 right now because I like a higher gearing than most people.

Wow, 28-9 (or even 26-9) is really har done one of those! From a quick math sesh, I figured your average 25-9 on a 20inch equivalent would be 23-9, so a 25-9 one a 22inch would be a hard ratio, like a 28-9 is on a 20.

did a 360 off of a low loading dock, and I broke another spoke. Not sure how that works since I didn't under rotate; it must have been weak from grind damage already.

Parts list or GTFO.

For real. Eastern Ti bars, looks like maybe a Fly frame? Ruben pedals, Odyssey Path tires?

Not sure why anyone would want a parts list from a bike in 2006, but Dick was right with what he called out, and the other parts are pretty easy to see from the photo.

Backstory? You won a whole bike?

Yeah, every year BMX Plus! does (or did, I haven't seen the mag in years) a survey were the readers fill out their dream bike parts list. They tally up all of the vote for all of the different parts, get those parts, build it up and give it away to someone that sent in a parts list. I did it just for fun and sure enough I got picked! So yes, I won that entire bike. It even came with Eastern ti bars, which was insane. I ride them for a week, and in a week's time noticed more flex in them at the end of the week than the start, so I ditched them quick. I actually parted out most of the bike in the end.

another table tuesday, another photo. This one was on a bike I won from BMX Plus! and actually ran in the magazine as a side note about me having won it. One of the very few photos you'll ever see of me pegless and not at a race track.

I remember the first time you posted that photo, Blue

Seeing as that was 4 years ago, I'll take that as a compliment that you'd remember all this time later!

I don't know how many of you have gotten into doing #TabletopTuesday, but here is the photo I'm going to post for it tomorrow. It's from 2008 and it's a hop table into the wedge.
