What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

[GUMP_]

Received my new wheels from empire. Chrome birdcage to polished marmoset with gsport nipples and odyssey spokes. 48 ratchet to chrome ribcage. Installed a polished race xlt that I got cheap and put on my old federal four pices bars

[weedbix]

Nice wheel set. Shame the 48h Ratchets don't come in polished

[GUMP_]

Yeah I know man. I'll end up stripping the wheel and raw and polish it

How so?

ribs go vertical/diagonal vs horizontal... they tear out less that way... also you dont need to waste that much wood... you could lose 6 of those pieces.

He's not going to surface it IIRC... the 2x4's are like the rungs of a ladder bridge in this case.

[blueee]

patched a  pretty huge tear in the sidewall of my torn tioga powerblock a while back. well i put the tire back on yesterday, pumped it up, loaded it up in my truck and went for a ride.
well i went for a swim instead and when i got back to my truck the tires were completely deflated. fuck. i knew i shouldnt have fucked with that tire, now im out a tube as well.

well i checked out the tube and turns out a patch slipped n started leaking. ha! patched it and good to go.

16 patches on this tube :p

Yep. Zane's got it. There is no surface. I just rolled it on my BMX bike and it's nice and smooth even with 100psi in the tires.
I'll grab some pics of it completed once I yank it out of the garage to load it up.

Jesus christ!

Im getting fucked off with something going wrong EVERYTIME I ride.
Managed to get everything but the brake dialed, rode for about an hour then the fucking tire blew out.
Always the back aswell which is a real bitch to change the tube on.
Proper hate my bike recently, rode for 3 years with no problems and no maintenance and then as soon as I try an get it dailed it just crumbles apart :mad2:

I've always had this with my mtb! Usually rubbing brakes or wheels going out of true during the course of one ride, if not that then gears skipping. Bmx feels solid so far!

Rode her bike to redbox and get a box of reds. bump jumped the parking block in some mocassins. Need to quit smoking, cigarettes. I miss being able to breath. hate the feeling of sluggish hubs. On the cam I just gotta pedals twice and I'm down the block. Hers is non stop pedal to maintain speed.

Bike didn't do shit but my mom is supporting my bmx after many years and told me about a shop a little closer to home. She said they sell animal shit. And she rememberd because she liked the flannel I had a few months back.

[Rusty]

Rode the shit out of it to work.

[BilboBaggins]

I rode a whole lot today.

Got home and put this epoxy stuff on 2 of my eccd's; one that ripped off the rails, and the other that has been on for a while. The epoxy stiffened up the rails really well and I am pleased.

It's from how you set your seat slammed back all the way. The assend has to much play. Middle it up more and save your seats. I know you like the way it looks more. But it might help.   Then you have a excuse to learn lawnmowers
