Spikenipple Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 Yummy The blue hub on the rear wheel seems a bit out of place though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davey Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Looks like a pretty sweet street machine!What are those radial marks on your rims? Do they improve braking at all, I've never seen that before (not a fan of defacing rims myself. Grinding seems to work quite well but I'd rather leave my rims as god intended.... so to speak)!Davey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having never used tar I dont really know how it looks on rims!Gareth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2sixstreet Posted July 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 Not being a proud owner of an angle grinder (and I was on a budget at the time) I couldnt do a grind. So I took a leaf out of the book of aftermarket rotors for cars etc and put shallow slots in the front with a file and just ran a sharp blade across the rear. The idea is to stop glazing of the pads and to provide a bit more bite. Works a treat in both respects.Bike rides really nicely. Its built from parts from my Snapacen and a few upgrades. Way easier to hold on the rear wheel.As for the seat, I dont run one when doing trials and run a full post and seat when I ride it to work!.
