You check the valve?

I've had that before, valve seemed fine as well. Just ended up chucking the tube, can't be arsed with the hassle of finding a leak for the cost of a few quid!

I have a pair of folding tires I'll sell you for dirt cheap. They're pretty worn but have a few months left in them haha. They don't have any rips or tears in them. 2.25 folding ruben ligera and a 2.10 faf-k. 15 shipped and their yours.

there was no allen slot left, i had to grip the threaded end with pliers and twist it out.

just make sure you leave on enough threading to grip

i trued my back wheel so the brakes felt consistent all the way around, adjusted the tension, and roughed up the pads with sandpaper. also i got fed up with the little knob on the end of my tech 77 lever, so i filed it down and smoothed it out with some fine grit sandpaper. now my brake feels and works a shit ton better. also i took off my redneck LT and put my old gouged up redneck XLT after filing down the gouge mark from a couple years ago when i ran into a chainlink fence and got knocked the fuck out. now i want to strip the black off my seatpost to go with the silver stem. i also locked into a manual for almost a half block which is huge to me, since i haven't had much manual control after getting back into bmx. before i quit manuals had always been hard, so this was just some fluke one time deal haha. maybe smooth downhill streets are what's up. it's worth it pedaling back up each time just to coast down and manual.

finally moved it from my car into my room to sit for a few weeks due to my shoulder being separated. sucks, but i'm going to dial some stuff in so its perfect when i can actually ride again. i cant wait!

im writing the last essay for my masters right now, so im looking forward to being able to have a bit more time to go riding this weekend once ive finished. took the super long post off my flat bike to hopefully help me practice barspins with some serious seat pinching

Admiral Ackbar · « **Reply #1302 on:** May 31, 2012, 12:38:18 PM »

hopefully gonna trade my track bike for an fbm complete

Rode it and I got pissed at how long it took me to pull a manual-180 without KP-hopping the 180. They are so much harder for me when the manual is just 5-7 ft versus a long, curving thing.

DontcallmeKenneth · « **Reply #1304 on:** May 31, 2012, 01:01:25 PM »

got a few items. deciding on if i should wait to get my new stem or just get one cheaper for right now.
