on my bmx I had 36-16 and found it too hard. I want a bmx with a trials gear, that would rock

if you want a quick fix to get good brakes with a smooth rim even in the wet............ ...........lightly melt the surface of the pad on a hot smooth surface (old frying pan or somthing), it makes the very surface layer tackier and still works as well in the wet.

hipperty happerty birtherty dirthday

I would like to go, but thats a hel of a lot of money, so I doubt I'll go

1st one lasted me two weeks, killed it on a drop gap at the end of a comp. second one stayed intact, but the spokes would just loosen for fun, so I took it off. I went and played with my dented one, I sat on it in my room and snapped it in half, I could then snap the halfs into quarters by hand, I have never been able to do that with a rim before! Also, the sidewalls are just as thick as normal rims, at least mine were. How is everyone telling how thick they are? you cant just look down from above as the bead hook blocks the view. anyway, they are the worst rims I have ever used

I guess theres no hight limit to falling into ramp as long as the ramps big and mellow enough

latex tubes are harder to pinch than normal as they are flexier so can be bent around a lot more untill they split like normal tubes do in a pinch I run latex front and rear on my bike and havnt had a puncture yet, but they do loose air after a few days.

its tomato sauce!! not ketchup, were not americans you know! cant stand brown stains sauce

you sure thats just not echos new frames wheelbase? how tall are you in english? about 4 ft of legs and 2.7ft of torso I recken

off topic: are you comming back to mine after the trial still peter? just need to make sure we leave enough room for you in the car

I'll bring my hyperfirnia (sp?) bag for you then wayne I am up for a bit of soakage, but only if theres a roaring fire to sit next to after

narr, bmx's suck, well 20" ones do 24" or 26" bmxs/trials hybrids are where its at!

what goo did you use? When I did my wheel I soulc stab it with nails and spokes and it would seal it in seconds! I even put my lightest tyre on and whacked the wheel as hard as I could on a sharp corner, nothing happened! well, thats a lie, the rim dented a little and I ripped a knob off the tyre, but there were still no leaks. I think it can work well for the front, but not as great on the back, the tyre roll leaks air. BUT if its on a street bike or you like to run 50+psi then its great.

bring your waterproofs everyone!

the way I do it is: get a 20" innertube and strech it over the rim, slice it down the middle and spread it open (clean it too) mount the tyre on with the flaps of innertube on the outside, leave an open section of tyre and pour in half a cup of latex. I just got a litre of liquid latex off ebay (nothing special, just bog standard stuff), you will need to water it down, a little bit of trial and error is needed to get the latex how you want. pop the rest of the tyre inplace and inflate with a compressor. when its sealed (if it does!) hold the wheel up and shake it so the latex makes full contact with the tyre bead. now trim away the excess innertube and ride away.

great minds think alike, I had the same idea for mounts a while ago, nice to see it was a reasonable idea

you serious?? echo rims are THE WORST rims I have ever had, one side was straight, the other was all over the place, this was when I was building it up too! my first one I killed after 3 rides, the second one wouldnt stay straight and the spokes would loosen every ride so I took it off. Alex dx32s get my vote as good rims

is that stitch worthy? I have had some biiig holes in my legs and always left them, they end up as a dent, but seem good otherwise.

some really made me laugh! shame I couldnt/didnt go

loking good, that place looks really nice to ride too. glad to hear your liking the ashton too

one of the nicer mods I have seen, looks like a small 26" I really like the graphics and headtube area, looks ace.

liked that a lot very much the type of stuff I want to do, but am learning at the mo. I just dont understand crankflips though, they tease me so much! I can do them every time left footed, easy as pie on the flat, sometimes on the rearwheel and sometimes on the front wheel, now heres the catch, I am right foot forward and I cant do it for shit with that foot! gaaahhhhh anyway, nice vid, top riding and mintybobs editing.

I have had my hope for a couple of months now and its not slipped once, I totally trust this hub and have no reason to think otherwise. This is with the standard grease too

proII T niggles??? there aint any best hub ever!!

just to clear things up, whats hapening on what days?
