Phatpads will be fine on a smooth rim, will just take longer to bed in.

Hang nothing coming out of a quarter on my bmx. I was so used to doing on 26inch I pulled up too hard.

No! Well yes but will be a b*tch to do and is not supposed to be possible.

Got some of those feckers running around my house at the moment, when I catch one I will let you know, just one question: Dead or Alive? I don't really think a live mouse would last that long on a sharp grind!

I never get brake squeel on my HS33. I have used all sorts of grinds, as well as a smooth rim and rock blues as well as phat pads. I get more squeel from my front disc.

There is a place in watford that I use, who have a sister company that work with exotic metals. I can't remember the name but when I get home in a few days, I can PM you with their number.

Sorry, I thought you meant bash hook. You can hook fine with either type of protection.

No, if you have a bashplate you can land on it any way. If you have a bashring you need to land sideways slightly to get a better hold.

Do you meann you are using a bashring rather than a bash plate? If that is the case, then whether you hit it does depend a lot on the bikes geo. You van hook the bash, it is just harder and you have to go slightly sideways on.

This topic has come up alot. My normal ones are: -You've lost your seat - You've lost your bike! -Why do you have balls in your wheels - Rolls better that way (then give a decent answer if they are not dicks) -How much did that cost - Why? are you going to try and sell it?

A screwdriver.

Not really, my mountain bike does have 2.4" tires, but I can put thinner ones on.

Acting like a complete jack ass. You are not posting helpful replies and you are being very aggressive.

Rear wheel

That may not solve the problem. What I meant was the larger cog means it has more area to connect too, meaning that it is less likely ot slip on worn cogs, however the 13tooth cog has less raparound space.

I'll speak to the evans lads and see what they say.

Fancy riding, anyone else coming?

Im only coming friday now, is anyone else coming?

The way that I remember is that if you need to get a bb out when the bike is upside down, you turn the spanner towards the wheel (either side).

The 16t gear gives you more raparound meaning that it is less likely to skip.

As said really. Stop about 8" from the edge of the object, balance for a second, dip the front a lot and then kick hard. I find that it also helps to kick my legs sideways slightly, so I can go further without looping out.

Thank you.

First of all I did search google, but found mainly products not answers (crc sucks at spec details). I am pretty sure that euro is 68mm english threads, but I just wanted a second opinion before I had two frames made with the wrong type of bb. As for it being the size of bearing that is not quite true. There are many types of bmx bb (usa, spanish, mid, euro) and they all use the same two inner diameter of bearing i.e. either 19mm or 21mm (I think). The type of BB refers to not just the outer beaing diameter, but also bb width and installation style, e.g. press fit, standard thread or reverse thread. I know I pretty much answered my own question, I just wanted to check with other people before marino builds my frames.

Sorry this is a retarded question but just to make sure: Is a euro bb a 68mm mtb type bb?
