Spiderings and C50 are both dope.

Getting fitted for my new one next Friday, hyped.

I can definitely sympathize with Couch, when I was doing little bits and bobs for people, female axles, recessing stems etc, it was just a ballache, having to mess about going to post offices etc and waste my lunch break for the odd ten / twenty quid. Plus  when you bear in mind most BMXers can't spell or use Paypal it becomes a nightmare.

Yeah GP4000s are spot on. I've got Vittorias at the moment (because gumwall) but it's only a matter of time until they get a big slit and I go back to my old GP4000s.

JW was fun but I kinda zone out at these crazy action films, did the same at Avengers, my mind just wanders.

do any racks fit or do i need a 'disc specific' rack?

i think i was a bit naieve to think i could get decent lights for £35 so will have to up my budget.
what is the minimum lumens you guys would recommend for riding at night on unlit roads, which are usb rechargeable and last for around 2 hours? i have seen ones on ebay/amazon going for a reasonable amount but i'm not sure how long they would last.

i also dont believe that cheap waterproof pannier exist which is a pain.

Look into those Cree lights from China, mega bright.

Get a Limit.

I would strongly advise against this.





Get a Ted James.

Not a good example obviously. Pat's work is mint, Ted too, think they're both a similar price, £400+.

Ha yeah I do this with water too, my new fridge has a water and ice thing so it's guaranteed brain freeze chugging it.

The cool thing about working for a family owned IBD is the crazy old stuff we find in our warehouses. Today we found a few sets of Look pedals which we managed to date back to 1985-87 as their first ever clipless mountain bike pedals. And we found three Campag bottom brackets from the 1980's that come in strange presentation type cases. One was Athena and I can't remember the other names.

The other week it was a set of brand new in box Koda alloy cranks from the 90's that used to come on Cannondales.

Coda Magic cranks? Worth a few quid those bad boys.

Yeah man, nothing better than bezzing past all the traffic riding to work. Big grin while everyone's trapped in their car.

Similar situation when I was on the old Tinder, working at a University. Had to be careful, didn't want to risk getting sacked or something ridiculous for chirpsing on students.
