The Happy Thread

There's actually a small tractor left to the model name :w00t:

I'm too lazy to start riding street-trials, just going with something familiar. Hope I'll like this frame/wheel size. It'll be at least 1 week till the rear tyre arrives. If the weather improves, I'll just go with a High Roller dual ply.

Go with the Hi Roller (Schwalbe have stopped making those tyres) and get those bars rolled back :P

I've always hated the high roller, especially the dual ply which seems to be the only compound the 24" is sold in this country (yeah, we are pretty backwards). Got confirmation from the Schwalbe dealer that they'll be getting some Big Bettys in 1 week but since it's arriving in a container, I'm expecting the usual delays. Really want to have a go on it now, having built the wheels up I find the position fantastic.

Also weighed it in at 6.44kg without tyres or tubes, looks promising.

Today was looking pretty grim work-wise for me earlier, with 5 different events to run/help run all over the country. Managed to find someone to cover the on-site side of an event in Reading after putting all the backstage shit in place and the other 4 went really well. Massive work beforehand, but feels so good to get that out the way, let alone having had it all go so well. Stoked, and probably gonna take a week off to celebrate :P

I'm quoting the future in the Angry Thread.

Damn, can't change the date on the quote. phayul

Nah it's a good build, i'll get it checked over tomorrow buy my mate who's been building wheels for about 10 years, just to make sure its all okay to use, but i'm certain its fine.

Tarty bikes discount and the ability to change the time stamps. You senior members get it too easy ;)

So apparently you can't go too far back in time with those, which is an arse when you're doing it on the phone.

Then again, I'm not a senior...
