So I figured before I post it I’ll give people a chance to call dibs

I’m selling my Animal foursome bars and animal MR top load stem.

Sorry to shamelessly plug my shit...


Also RIP Paul Buchanan if you don’t know go watch a man who knew how to do bikes better than most. He was kind of the Rodney Mullen of the mid school era

Hey dudes. Some of you might enjoy this Northern Embassy interview I put together with the best farmer in BMX, Brodie Gwilliam. Peep it.

Brakes are way too much fun. I don't think I will ever take mine off. Maybe if I wanted to learn barspins, but that urge is incredibly low. Perhaps even non-existent. lol

After a whole day on the manual spring hanger I can tell you it is the best brake I have tried instant lock and they come already london modded super easy to install as they have no springs

Honestly I was skeptical about the size of the pads but they are so nice

Has anybody ever used a "bluing" agent on any of your parts, got any pics if so? Was thinking about bluing my frame. Any thoughts?

So my brand new stolen talon cranks have developed vertical play after a few months any fix to this like adding a bit of grease or in case the warranty doesn't come through should I just say f*ck it and jb weld it?

They are 48 spline right? I've ended up putting loctite in my 48 spline cranks after play developed.

Yeah. Make sure you degrease your frame really well, keep fingerprints off it etc.

If you want a streak free process put the solution in a spray bottle. I hadn't done it before and sponged it on so ended up with streaks.

It's also not going to go that deep blue black colour as there isn't enough carbon in 4130.
It looks great though in the flesh.
