Pierre mate you're such a good guy. This is why we love you.

i've got a new build well and truly on the way.... after being a bit of a twat and spending a load of money on a bike i didn't actually want (it's justifiable, i can't lose money....) just need to wait for all/most of the bits to be delivered! i'm really looking forward to see how it compares to my old 24" cap

I run proofs. I'm a complete hack and they still haven't bent under my heavy ass - which is somewhat impressive because I've had them since forever.

what's the spec so far?
Illbike candy 26, identiti rebates, salt plus tl stem, octane one hubs, ns fundamental rims, octane one seat/post combo. That's it for now, undecided on bars, probably gusset open prison to keep the cost down and I've had a couple of pairs with no problems, I've got some salt cranks which I'll use for now, but if I can sell a couple of bits I'll get some gusset hunter cranks. Again I've had them before and was very impressed, plus I get them cheap through work. I really need new tyres but £60 a pair I might have to make do for a bit with small block 8's

Basically, I bought a metropolis 2, but it was far too dirt jumpy for me so I'm selling it off in parts and replacing the parts as I go...

On a different note, I'm really feeling this Alex Supra BH rear rim. I've only had it for a week or so, but I just have a feeling that it's the one.
I was about to pull the trigger on those, but I got some trailmasters at a really good price.

I just picked up my bike from the house whereI dislocated my arm, after jumping into a pool with it and leaving it like that for 2 days there is no rust, I am fairly surprised tbh

I was on the heat of the moment and didn't think about water and steel not being friends, however everything still spins smoothly and there's no rust nor in the inside or the ourside

Got back from holiday, rode across the garden and the bead on my back k-rad separated from the tyre, resulting in a two inch tube hernia.



f*ck




Well that's probably why they were free

so i just put a 25t on my bike and it screwed up my wheel. it cant have the spacers or the chains to tight but if it doent have it it moves and the chainstay slides. i thought my new wheel solved this problem and it did when i had the 28t on but i changed the gearing around so it was too heavy. can anyone tell me a trick that i can use to hold the wheel straight in the chainstays? edit: take note im 250 pounds and its an allen bolt system.
As stated before, take it to a bike shop and let the trained mechanics set it up properly so you don't f*ck this wheel up.
