poopipe Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 how long is the back end on the 06 ? aand - has anyone seen the 07 flow frames sold separately? I've been looking at the new flows cos i decided an edwin was too much money and I want a frame with a sub 14" arse end. I'm finding the division doesn't come up as easy as I'd like and the way things are looking it's only got another 6 months left in it (poor thing) . anyway - go dent the shit out of it immediately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskimo Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 I don't like the below 14" back end frame myself. My l.a.f has currently got the axle literally hanging out the back end. I wanting another frame because of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A!! Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 how long is the back end on the 06 ? aand - has anyone seen the 07 flow frames sold separately?

But you can get the flow series frame here Alans. To conclude, i went for a razz on it when i got back from school and i love it. Manuals are really easy, and it comes up nice and easy for hops. And just to add to the awesomeness theres no clicking coming from a freewheel. Silent cruising for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted November 16, 2006 Report Share Posted November 16, 2006 righty...[attachmentid=8195]"it's exactly the same as last time" I hear you cry. but no, you'd be wrong.new stem (elementary) - worked out really well, it turned out to be a bit shorter than the old one which is great news and bizarrely was no trouble at all to fit. and...after a couple of weeks riding around with shattered wheel bearings and suspect front axle I got pissed off and bought one of gusset's finest complete front wheels from billys for about £50. it's a bit on the weighty side (think alex E) but we're talking 48 spoked, 14mm axled, deep walled, indistructableness so I'm happy. spokes haven't come loose yet either i've also accessorised with some new scratches and dents, insulating tape to stop my grips splitting any further, a mixture of bright orange and standard brown mud, road grime, leafy mulch and - as a finishing touch - some brick dust around my pegs.she's coming along nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 Here's mine as it is, but there's gonna be a big change to it hopefully within the next 2 weeks. The pictures are rubbish because I'm tired because I can't sleep due to my fricking ear...Superstar Hubguard to stop the once-a-ride spoke snappage.My seat's vagina, caused by me aborting a half-cab at speed down a 4-set mid-way through, throwing my bike down onto the steps below me.Poopipe, a question. You live in Cambridge, so I assume you ride with some of the locals there? Do you know of a female BMXer there? Hangs around with a guy with fairly long hair (from what I can remember), and a guy called Nico who's now moved to London? Reason I ask is that a group of people from Cambridge come down here quite often, so why not jump aboard and come and check out the full effects of the OBM Experience?

If you mean a blond girl on a fit with worrying forearm piercing who does fastplants out of quarters - her name's carla (i think) and she's braver than me I'll definitely ask when they're next going down if they make a habit of it - I won't be doing anything till the new year cos the wee one's due out any time but I'm gonna need a break badly after christmas.rich... animal stem - looks like a jumpoff, probably is cos mark's proper street they had to change their name to Abike co over here because of the clothes/watch company.

eskimo Posted December 2, 2006 Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 OBM i hope your running 48h wheels. I take it you snap spokes because of pegless grinds thats why you the hub guard. Why didn't you go for a g-sport one? I never run mine anymore and no problems there although i havent riden any concrete ledges in a while. But the back hub guard stays on no matter what now.

Mark W Posted December 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2006 36 front now, 48 rear, but getting a new back wheel that's gonna be 36. I've had that front wheel for over a year (at least...) now, and it's been no hassle at all. The only reason spokes died was just because they got hit. That Superstar sprocket does the job perfectly, and to be honest, I like the way it looks and how simple it is to go on. All the locals with GLANDs have to f**k around with the zipties/straps quite a lot, yet I've never had to do anything like that with my Superstar guard. Because I'm only stalling on the nut and not a 4" long peg, it means that it's got a limited contact area with the spokes anyway. They all snapped at the heads, or just out from them, and this one seems to do the job. I don't really go through spokes on the back, I think it's largely just 'cos the dropouts are so much more substantial, plus because I'm going to the nut it means that the dropouts really do just act as a guard.Rich, it's an Animal Jumpoff. It was the only shorter stem that anyone round here had apart from Superstar Elects, and I'm not super keen on them...Poopipe, "Carla" rings a bell.
