  1. yeah, but its crap and needs to be on the underside.
  2. I agree, paper is never really on people list, I find pen and paper my fave way of designing bikes, its quick, easy and you get results. two examples of hand drawn ones.

    Sun Rims?

    they are heavy though, my drilled one still weighed about 850g. I also found it flat spotted easier than other rims, but I did hammer mine into walls pretty hard, I chipped bits of wall off when I rimmed out lol
  15. it can happen, but it doesnt happen as much as you would think, I havnt touched mine yet. I hit my front rotor much more.
  16. bought a rock shox lower crown and steerer for 99p, its on ebay now for £11, thats 1000% profit! :lol: Bought a rocket pro trials frame for £10.50 with a shimano splined bb, pig headset and mini seat.

    Sun Rims?

    tried it (I have my old rim for sale on ebay) it worked very well, grinds lasted ages, but it was too narrow for my needs.
  18. cool, I thought of doing that a while back but dismissed it as being far out maan. a (Y) for trying stuff though

    Sun Rims?

  20. I have only seen the first vid yet, the riding was pretty cool. I couldnt stand the music though (Y) ruined the whole vid for me :(

    Sun Rims?

    sounds like my old double wide, it had 104 holes that I drilled :huh: I found grinds lasted ages on them too.
  22. I feel like I am pretty healthy, i dont drink (shut up guys :huh: ), smoke or take drugs, I go for runs and ride regually. I dont eat as healthly as I could though and I need to drink more. Other than my injuries, I cant complain.
  23. but if your hands are in the same place it makes no difference. steep head angle + short stem = slack head angle + long stem and its olny flatland bmxs that have perfectly straight forks isnt it? every other bmx frok has a straight leg, but the axle is still raked out forward.
  24. your right, straight forks have the same rake as curved forks (cue FatMike with a paint diagram :huh: ) curved forks are just the traditional way of doing it (like double diamond frames) straight forks are just another way. say you have a steep head angle but with a short stem, then you have a slack head angle with a long stem, the reach is exactly the same with both bikes so they would feel the same. Your hands are still in the same place in comparasen to the front axle. It would tap the same, feel the same on the front wheel, you would only know the difference when you turned.
