Skoze Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 You've forgotten your 24, Jon! They all look cracking dude, good to see the flatty all built up at long last! Any joy with the scamming b*****d? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Haha if I had a garage big enough and the money to do it Yeah he's started to sell shit to pay me back which is good, owes me about £140 still though.(For those who don't know, I bought a nearly complete flat bike off a guy in the US, it never arrived, paypal claim went my way but no money was recovered, and I'm still waiting for my refund) Edited March 18, 2009 by JonMack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 All looking good Jon. Quick question, do you find it difficult to switch between the 2 BMXs? What with the brake lever being on the same side but acting on opposite ends of the bike... I presume that being as they are BMX brakes it's unlikely to kill you if you're on the Celeste and grab a handful of "back" brake, but I'd still find it a bit of a headf**k.

JonMack Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Well I rode the Celeste for the first time today (holy shit it was weird) and I'm actually yet to learn anything on it, but to be honest it's not weird at all, as much as it should be, it's pretty normal feeling. Even switching between the Dob and the Celeste is fine, I guess it's because they all ride so differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I'd love to try that flatland bike.Looking good, I thought it was weird too, how the brake lever on each bmx is on the same side, but for different brakes. I guess you'll use the drivetrain for all the rearwheel moves.Monty cranks? But not FFW.. How come you went for those? Weight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMack Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Monty cranks on the flat bike because they're short, light, and were cheap.I just love my King too much to go FFW on the trials bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgieporgie Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Dob looks pretty nuts.. and is pretty damn light, and i no your against ( and i would be too) but you could so easily get it under 8kg with a new hub and headset.Also, are the 06 hopes on there for prefrence or for weight reasons? They all look lush anyways man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all look lush anyways man.Yeah with a new front tyre and Ti axles in the V12s it would get it under 8kg, but to be honest I don't think 150g would be noticeable so I'm pretty happy to just leave it, obviously when the Maxxis die I'm gonna get a front Try-All, and I've got an Eagle Claw downstairs which I'm gonna put on when the rear Maxxis is dead, but I might get some Ti axles in a few weeks then yeah like you said if I went FFW with that HEN hub I could drop some weight, but I really like my CK, but I might try get hold of a lighter headset. I guess although I'm happy with the weight, getting it sub 8 would be really nice, just as a personal challenge.06 Hopes just because I got them cheap, could get carbon lever blades for them too I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full disc with CK on the rear??? explain please? that's my dreamAll normal Kings use the same size hubshell, so I just bought a replacement shell from AspireVeloTech and got Tarty to switch it over for me in the summer, then I wanted a 32h shell instead of 36h so I swapped my hubshell and internals with Skoze, and yeah, that's all there is to it really.

Muel Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 You were so right with the wheels for the Dob, sorry I tried to persuade you to get white rims. They look amazing! Well the Dob does, I don't know if the other are nice or not, but I'll take your word for it mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Scarlet Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 I only like the DOB. Its got the nicest set-up of any trials I've ever seen, although when your frame inevitably pops its clogs, you could get a much stiffer one.

JonMack Posted March 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 The weight of the Dob is currently 8155g. I've just bought some V12 Ti axles which will drop 80g, then if I put a Try-All front tyre on that should drop it under 8kg It cost me $85 for a new hubshell, and £10 for it to be swapped over (Thanks Adam), but taking into account the whole bike... I don't know. I started buying parts for it last January, I mean looking through the parts and working it out roughly I've probably spent about £400 on it (I got the frame in exchange for some design work I did for T-UK) so it's not that bad really.

Though it looks awesome, it's damn heavy. why don't you put tryall hubs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Because he's a bit of a fag and is scared of FFW. We did add the weights up on MSN once, it doesn't work out all that different, only like 100-200g, which is worth it if you prefer Kings.
