fackin' tasty. Well colourschemed!

Hows brakeless working for you?? I tryed it and fackin' hated it on my void. It takes like 20m to stop and at the end of a run I WILL hit a tree.

+ 1

charge-rider (Jul 18, 2010 at 13:41)

Cheers!
And I love it!
There are a few times when having a brake would make some tricks alot easier, but I can cope without them.
Brakeless has also made me alot better at guaging my speed for stuff, so it can give you a better overall bike handling ability!

tom666 (Jul 18, 2010 at 16:50)

Yeah, it's fackin' fantastic til you bang your head on a big ol' tree.

If you could read, you moron, then you would be able to understand that all that's for sale is THE FRAME.

Thats so sick.. but i prefer the ns capital with a rigid fork ; )
And this forks in you bike will broke because its not 20mm axxle

+ 1

charge-rider (Sep 10, 2010 at 15:50)

I'm a light rider, who doesn't go stupidly big, so they're fine for now.
If the lowers break I can always got hold of some 20mm Pike/Argyle lowers and run them instead.

jacobwymer (Sep 25, 2010 at 12:14)

what spokes are they and whats the cap like with sus and which do you prefer - sus or rigid?

+ 1

charge-rider (Sep 25, 2010 at 12:57)

Just plain Halo ones that I got from Billys.co.uk for 25p a spoke (and nipple).
I preffer it by miles with sus (feels good at either 60, 80 or 100mm to me) as it's alot eiser to get airborn do to the higher front end and more pop from the sus.
Tried my rigids on a few weeks ago and it was lame by comparison!

Why don't you build something up slowely?

never-stop (Nov 6, 2010 at 18:48)

got other more important bikes to be sorting out or buying, i use my bikes to get litraly everywhere, i like them to do it very well, but when i can get a better job i can afford such a sexy thing though Smile

+ 1

charge-rider (Nov 6, 2010 at 18:54)

Fair enough!
I really fancey a beater/fixie bike for when I wanna ride to town, so I don't have to leave my good bike chained up outside a shop. Whenever I look into it I always get distracted by something else that I wanna upgrade on my bike, though Frown

+ 1

never-stop (Nov 6, 2010 at 19:05)

realy recormend one, litraly halfed the time to get anywhere now i use one,(used to use my bmx, 28:9 ratio) i do go fast though
but if you ever want advice on building or buying one, im ya man! be glad to help

+ 1

charge-rider (Nov 6, 2010 at 19:08)

With that ratio I can believe that you did!
Must have had some man chain snappages though?
I'll see how much one would come in handy after I've passed my driving test and go from there! Still fancey giving the whole fixie thing a go regardless Big Grin

+ 1

never-stop (Nov 6, 2010 at 19:19)

only snapped one chain, that was painfull on the right knee....
i ment i do go fast on my fixie though, i beat most roadies! Razz

but i did haul ass on my bmx to

just get a fixie, with the right one you will love it!

+ 1

charge-rider (Nov 7, 2010 at 8:03)

Surprising, as ratios that hard really do test the tensile strength of a chain!
I always try to own a roadie, but I always give up xD
I'll see how it goes! Would be as interesting change for sure!

+ 1

never-stop (Nov 7, 2010 at 9:57)

thats nothing man, i use the same chain on my fixed gear wich is a 46:14 ratio, and i skid at 35mph on that sometimes, that puts way more stress on the chain, most fixed gears have bmx chains or simler

+ 1

charge-rider (Nov 7, 2010 at 10:08)

Your chain must hate you a fair bit!

sweet but i dont get why youd use rebas over pikes or argyles!

usb-rider (Jul 3, 2010 at 3:53)

because they are way lighter and if your not a hack there fine Wink

charge-rider (Jul 3, 2010 at 14:26)

Well I wanted to keep my Profile Mini front hub (although I was well on the way to figuring out how to convert it to 20mm), but mainly because I got them brand new from eBay for 200 posted...

tom666 (Jul 18, 2010 at 19:39)

For £200 you would have to be some kind of crazy fool not to pick up a pair of dual air rebas. And you would have to land pretty damned hard to snap them - there not made of cheese.

+ 1

NWray (Oct 10, 2010 at 15:01)

and if u really feel the need, just bolt 20 mill argyle or pike lowers onto them Rolleyes

boom insta 20mm reba Rolleyes

That was the new plan!

means you could colour match your lowers to your frame lol

Indian turquoise ftw lol

charge-rider (Oct 10, 2010 at 15:10)

T'is Medicene green (same thing, but NS not wanting to sound like they were ripping off Xavier) Razz

And this bike is completely differant now, jsut waiting on my frame and I'll have the British version of Sherbets Fapital Wink

NWray (Oct 10, 2010 at 15:13)

ahhhhh i would have kept the medicine green/ indian turq but thats me Wink

charge-rider (Oct 10, 2010 at 15:19)

I would have preffered to keep the medi green, but wanted brakes and preffer U's over anything!

NWray (Oct 10, 2010 at 16:42)

paint the new frame to match?

+ 1

charge-rider (Oct 10, 2010 at 16:47)

If I was gonna paint it, it would more than likely just go gloss black for simplicitys sake!
Colour schemes get too boring too fast for me lol

charge-rider (Oct 24, 2010 at 3:44)

Yeah, as although the dropouts are supposed to be 9mm: It's ONE little millimeter!

+ 1

NWray (Oct 24, 2010 at 8:08)

9.5 actualy Wink

so only .5 of a mm Razz

+ 1

mtbtyrrell (Oct 25, 2010 at 10:30)

is actually 3/8 of an inch Smile

+ 1

charge-rider (Oct 25, 2010 at 13:01)

That's within tolerance of the 9.5mm that he stated Wink

+ 1

devulge96 (Oct 25, 2010 at 14:03)

I just bought these forks, same colour and all Smile

hope they hold up.

+ 1

charge-rider (Oct 25, 2010 at 14:16)

May be an assumption, so feel free to correct me. But you're probably younger/shorter/lighter than me, so I think you'll be fine!

+ 1

devulge96 (Oct 25, 2010 at 14:18)

I'm 14, 5ft 9" and don't weigh alot, so hopefully they wil hold up, plus my dad does fork servicing!

+ 1

charge-rider (Oct 25, 2010 at 14:35)

They'll be fine!
Servicing is a breeze aswell, you just need the right tools, oil and the Sram guide.

please tell me your joking

charge-rider (Sep 26, 2010 at 13:45)

Considering the whole thing isn't for sale, you were bound to get a dumb answer.
I would have to build a whole new bike out of the "reasonable price" I would get for it, which would be a shit spec in comparison.
The price I asked was what it's worth to me, even if it is stupidly over the top.

+ 1

covesanch3z (Sep 26, 2010 at 13:48)

chill yoursw beans so you want 200 for the frame

+ 1

charge-rider (Sep 26, 2010 at 13:50)

Ignore me, I'm overly harsh at the best of times.
And yeah, although I was probably gonna start dropping the price in a few weeks.

covesanch3z (Sep 26, 2010 at 13:52)

charge-rider (Jul 27, 2011 at 11:44)

Spacing is the same.
BMX front hubs are 100mm wide (same as MTB, 15/10mm/QR front hubs).
BMX rear hubs are 110 wide (same as MTB 20mm front hubs)
