dann2707 Posted May 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2012 (edited) Could be, but it was a pretty harsh landing today but deffo no snap worthy! Just got this reply from the seller though Hello, I'm very sorry to hear this news, these pedals are original MG-1 pedals made in Taiwan. This never happed before since we began to sell them. Please can you and send a picture to us and tell us which pedal is broken. Thank you very much, Cheap copies probably. Hopefully they will sort it out for me...

dann2707 Posted June 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) Got my new pedal through, hasn't snapped yet And went to Boots today and got some Caustic Soda to raw my forks. It's turned my f**king finger nails yellow though !! Look like i've been smoking a thousan fags on 3 finger nails wtf haha Anyway this was it before, new Neon headset too, it's made the bike feel absolutely solid now, i had loose cage bearings in it before and i think thats what made it really weird, but now it's planted! For anyone thats rode my bike before they will know how weird it felt to ride, think it was a combo of mix and matching my headset cups with the race on the forks. Then this happened. The reason why i'm rawing my forks. During... Done No pics on the bike as it's in pieces again, but they need polishing to match the frame. My first successful caustic soda experience ha Edited June 1, 2012 by dann2707 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted June 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Single walled my rear rim today. The back end on my bike is fairly heavy in comparison to the front so wanted it levelling out a tad. Before any removing.. Then out with the angle grinder and cutting disk Until the grinder packed in, started getting super hot and stuttering, found out after removing it to pieces the contact where the motor connects to a helical gear had completely worn so it wasn't rotating properly. Then smoothed it all down with a few different attachments on the dremel, really silky s now. Then a few pics of the forks on the bike, still need wet and drying properly to get a shine going on. Soon! New headset. Tell me what you think to the silver forks, too much silver?Forgot to say, the single walling removed 85g's! Pretty happy with that.

williams Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 That's ballsy, I would NEVER have the balls to start cutting in the rim, but it looks nice overall! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 It's made a right improvement to how I am on the back wheel now though, it's incredibly bouncy. However I got a puncture today landing something and it wasnt your traditional snake bite as there was just one slit, and from where it was it was still quite sharp on the inside, going to make it even smoother one day this week !!

CalRobbo341 Posted June 10, 2012 Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 If you cant be bothered smoothing it, I know your run ducktape as rim tape so just cover the inner sidewalls with it, temporary fix surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted June 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2012 I'm not sure, im using electrical tape on the front but proper rim tape on the rear wheel Might drill it to save weight? joking of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dann2707 Posted June 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Right, went for silver bars, used caustic soda again to strip the annodising. The laser etched "trial tech" is still on there too which is a bonus. Pretty awake and just took some random shots in my room. POOR photos haha. That ghastly front hub is really letting the side down big time though. It's riding better than ever lately, bring on radfest !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
