eskimo Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Brake Levers...Odyssey Medium or Small. Personally i think the trigger is rancid.PrimoTech77 (for straight bar)Yay or nay ?Odyssey EvolverSeat: Wethepeople (this might change..)Seatclamp: HB single boltCranks: Profile Race Cranks (lifetime warranty, if you have hassles contact me)Sprocket: Mcneil (39t i'm quite sure)Chain: KMC Kool Chain.Rims: Alex Supra B's (double walled)I shall have a bmx soon then.As for the Homer hub thing. My mate didn't have a problem as far as i know. That was with the older version with the goldish coloured bolts. They went through his Macneil and Fly pegs fine. (he had front and rear homers). I will ask him just to double check that no drilling was required.OBM i guess you have the most idea of when the Reverse is landing? I think i'm going to buy one but still keep my other wheel though.

Mark W Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Allegedly, some time near the end of May? They're supposed to be done May-time, anyway, so factor in a week or two for distro shuffling 'n' stuff, but I wouldn't really trust that date too much...Having said that, you can get the solid axles for the Geisha hubs now, so it shouldn't be too long for them to get ready if they're already stocking up on the spares for it?

A!! Posted April 29, 2007 Report Share Posted April 29, 2007 (edited) Does anyone have any tips or pointers on hopping into footjam whips. I've got the everything sorted with them, but now i want to learn to hop from the pedals straight into one, instead of quickly pulling one foot over and jamming it into the front tyre. So far i've nearly done it twice, but i find what usually happens is i either jump off the pedals and try to land my left foot on the front tyre, but the bike moves too far forward and i miss the tyre, or land with my foot too far back on the tyre. Or what sometimes happens is i land on the tyre, but for some reason i put my right foot down on the ground after.Any help appreciated Edit: Scrap that, just did one. I found out what i was doing wrong. I wasn't kicking the back end round hard enough, so the bike tended to move forward when i went to land on the front tyre.Well chuffed, bring on the banks Edited April 29, 2007 by huck_it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurtisRider Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 why do i get so dizzy on miniramps? i can only go for about a minute before i start falling off does anybody else get this problem? i've only really just started riding them since i learnt footjam nosepicks, pisses me off also, 180ing out of a grind...what? i just fall sideways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 why do i get so dizzy on miniramps?shut your eyes and the problem goes away also, 180ing out of a grind...what? i just fall sideways same principle as a normal 180 - try not to lean over. maybe hop up more rather than out.

Maybe that's the reason. Who knows, try doing some opposite airs to counter it perhaps?Lets say feeble slide. Easy way just learn opposite spins. There isn't really any technique to them. With a hard way it's about speed and pulling back on yourself. Helps if you do it at the end of a ledge. I'm stumped on icepick and smith 180s. Either way i find it difficult. Although a smith hard way is actually easy or is just pulling up to the back wheel then 180in, cheating? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poopipe Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 while we're on the subject of spinning oppositeI can kind of do opposite somewhere between 180 and 270s out of stalls but I'm completely stuffed when it somes to opposite anythings over jumps and on flat - i just can't do them, I either don't spin at all or just kind of flail about and crash. Does one want to be putting ones wrong foot forward during these or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 That makes it switch opposite, which is harder, theoretically. It's just a matter of making yourself do the same motion you'd normally do to spin, but the other way. As soon as you click that in your head, they're not too bad...

poopipe Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 ah, itll be my head stoppingme then i've found wrong foot forward makes the opposite grinds and generally hopping in the wrong direction a bit steadier - not so much easier as safer feeling. oh wellill just go out and put some time into learning it rather than giving up after two shabby attempts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I found it works out fairly well using the opposite foot. But don't really use it. I might have to give it a go on the box today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 1. The Geisha's out now, not on the 20th June (new expected date for the Reverse).2. If you f**k the studs up, you can get a solid axle for the Geisha now.3. If there's a "Bad first batch" thing with the Reverse, you've effectively waited a while to get a hub you're going to have to arse about with instantly. I doubt there'll be one, but I couldn't think of a third reason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can now get wheel builds from Alans: Geisha wheelbuildto be honest I think Mark's reasons are better. I'll probably build it myself anywayI still don't know whether to do it or not for these reasons...I don't like brown It's right hand drive, I grind on the right, I don't like replacing sprocketsI'd have to buy a 25t sprocket cos they don't come in 11t I'll go get one on Monday or something - pretty sure Billys have got some in at the moment. sprocket wise... anyone heard bad things about the odyssey MDS? I quite like the look of the double guardinessedit::right - I've just been investigating the geisha. can one of you please explain how the studs work ?

Mark W Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 The MDS only comes with one guard, you buy the second seperately. Bastards!The studs work by just threading into the main axle. Think of it like a 'female' axle system basically. There's an aluminium axle in the hub, and the steel stud screws in, then you tighten the wheelnut onto that axle. It's an OK-ish system, but sometimes you need to use a spanner or 8mm allen key to hold the stud in place while you undo the nut 'cos it binds, meaning instead of loosening your wheel you're just splaying your frame out by moving the actual stud itself out of the hub.Shook UK trailer, btw.
