As the others said its already been discussed, you are months too late!

jeez louise, i know theres been threads/discussions about the profile zcoaster already, but theyve kept the internals under wraps the whole time til now, i thought people might care. apparently not 

Everyone knew it was a retractable pawl design with some kind of slack adjustment disc, none of this news is new. Sorry man.

Yuhub/khe clone? Not newsworthy.

The new Profile coaster has been discussed in another thread. It could be promising but wobbly.

Worked on my car the last two afternoons/evenings, I'm sore but stoked on the result.

Yes, I agree. I can't imagine being neutral about those bars.

i kinda like those bars, something a bit different

2 pieces got a little boring and Shad@Goods is awesome, so these bars were a shoe-in.

Ducati all the way, especially if you buy used. If you don't like it you can make your money back easily.

Trying to bring an old Alliance back to life. Going to clean up the previously "modified" dropout. Not sure if I should leave the other one alone or try to match it to the cut side.

Damn... The things we did to dropouts back in the day.

dang thing is too short for 39-14

I was surprised how short it came, I only had to pull a few links for 31/11 with a 14.1"-ish chainstay.

I'm thinking about switching from 28t-9t to 25t-9t in order to move my wheel back in the dropout a bit. Can anybody tell me how much it'll move it back? I've got the Odsy keychain and adjusting its length is a pain.

I use these two pages for info:

http://www.fortytwobmx.com/bmxtech_gearratio.html

It depends on how many links you want to pull...

A shame the hottest ones usually have cunts like stage curtains though.

Lol

Oh bacon hangers, how I'm glad not to know you. There are some downright gorgeous ones in my organic chem class. I realize that's not the most advanced shit but box of rocks these girls are not.

I wish you luck my friend. Don't get caught being the pervy old guy and staring at them.

Haha I understand, I could see that more towards the 21-25 year olds. Hot, but not dumb as a box of rocks.

I'm thinking this guy is a spammer... His next post will probably be for some online retailer.

I installed my new keychain on a new 11t Odyssey driver, with a new 31t T-1 sprocket... It's the smoothest setup I've ever felt.
