I shouldn't of swore but it was as equally as rude as you're post. 2. It is a comma or a full stop you need, NOT a enter key. 3. The shift button is located below the enter key (USE IT). 4. Use grammar, it helps.....Thanks for your time Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less of a basher mean don't f**king hit the damn thing then it wouldn't brake!! f**king NM'sDude lay off him, he's only lookig for help and all you can do is have a dig at him.I suppose you could get one of them 74 Kings tensioners, but i'm not sure how good they are, as i've heard different reviews on them. I had this same problem myself and everytime i missed a sidehop or something my hanger bracket would go, so i got a modsock. Of course it would be a cheaper option to get a tensioner but you rally ca hit the hell out of the modstock frames andif your wheel moves (not that it does) you can move it back and into tension easily. I know for a fact by how my riding is that i would have broken several of those tensioners by now. If you did get a modstock then you wouldn't necassarily have to get a King BMX hub, but they are ridiculously cheap from AspireVeloTech. You could even get a Profile BMX hub which i think retail at around £160. Or another option would be to get a mod spaced fixed hub and use a front freewheel like a Tensile or an ENO.

Jolfa Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 left foot forward, stock rider:mech hanger snappage What's that got to do with the price of bacon? I ride right foot forward and have snapped more than I care to remember is there anyone here in the same boat as me but has come up with a solution???Best solution I ever came up with - Use your old one as a template to make one out of steel, costs pence if anything at all and you can bend them back into shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ride right foot forward and have snapped more than I care to remember Best solution I ever came up with - Use your old one as a template to make one out of steel, costs pence if anything at all and you can bend them back into shape with been left foot forward i sidehop to my right, and when gapping to fron i pivot the back end that way aswell, ive tried doing it the oposite way like tunniclife but when ever i side hop my foot catches the wall, and on gaps to front i feel like im turning myself inside out.do you make the steel ones yourself or do you take the templates to a metal works? sounds like a good idea, if the price is right could be able to make numerous amounts and jus ride with a bag full of them hahathanks for the feedbackjace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I just made them myself in metalwork when I was at school, really very easy, thread's a bit of a dodgy one though iirc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
