Sick bike cam i really like it looks sick

[hubbie]

Yesss. Getting Triumphs and Morning 2's for $100 or less on saturday, which will cop matte black and go on my brakeless project bike. Also changed my mind again. I think I want to stick with a Fly frame now, so the decision is, Campillo or Pantera, and raw or white!

[WeThePeople188]

it doesnt look that bad when its bk together?


it'll b gone in a week or so anyways, i want white front spokes.

i agree it did look alot better before but like you said its only temporary.

[honda677]

spray the forks white, will look good as

[brettyG]

Should do a black to purple or midnight blue fade, mate had a similliar paint job on his bmx and it was mint. He then colour-coded it so the front wheel, bars and stem match the black while the rear wheel, sprocket, seat, chain and cranks matched the purple - made awesome piccies aswell - I'll see if I can find some.

What colour were you thinking of going next?

[contagious]

I cant say i agree with that.

[brettyG]

I cant say i agree with that.

It's all personal opinion; but I think we can all agree that black bikes are getting a bit boring these days....

It's definitely interesting man. Remember, you posted it for feedback, and it just so happens the majority aren't fans. you gotta take that. doesn't mean people dislike you, just the paint choice on your transport. Personally I don't really like 2tones either, unless there's a sharp edge between colours, but props for trying it out man.

thanks for all the kind words in r.e. to my bike guys, taken to heart.

my only concern now is whether there's any coating. cos i'm not riding it around completely bare. It would rust crazy up here. with a campillo I would save 780g off my current frame, taking it down to 10.9kg with gyro and 2 pegs, plus I'll get wombolts at the same time, so don't know how much they'll save me. epoch

[del]

Campillo's are sooooo sweet. I have a 3 amigos, the campillo is pretty much identical geo to that i believe. real nice feeling frame. fly has some really great frames this year.

[Cameo]

There'd be some sort of coating over the raw, there'd have to be. That would just be stupid on Fly's behalf, and I don't think that Fly's a stupid company.

i remember someone having a raw tierra on here a while back, if you can find out who it was then PM then and ask, but im pretty sure it would have some sort of clear coat over it...

[trentsta53]

Looks nice.

[hubbie]

clean pimpin Del! I saw a campillo on Bmxforum, and had a light coat of dusty rust, so it looked like it was uncoated. I pm'd him, and haven't got a reply yet. I'll call chris at 666 on monday and find out.

Photoshopped this yesterday, to convince myself to get the raw one. white just didn't look nearly as good.

(original was Kalkoff's. Of course i'll have brakes.)
http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/8318/rawma0.jpg

EDIT: Are anno'd rims good for braking and do they lose colour? can't remember. I was thinking 2 purple rims would look far better, and i'll be doing a new rear wheel fairly soon, as well as the front rim.

[chelsea_fan7]

I am pretty sure the proper rims lose their colour fairly quickly with brakes, but brakes work ok with the fly rims my mate has. The silver sort of strip you get around the rim doesn't look that bad IMO.

[trentsta53]

That looks nice i reckon that some purple pedals or something would look pretty good:)

[Povi]

hey Povi,
how about the black chrome demolition rims, or 7ka's are meant to come in duralectra, but i've never seen em.

nah its cool. bit the bullet and bought me a g-sport in black :D



am now brakeless because a little kid got taken out by my cable and kinked it past 90 degrees.

[hubbie]

do it cookie monster.

Campillo's are out of stock for a few months! search continues. and Purple colony stems were limited run and out of stock too. So i'm getting black wombolts, but i have to find a new frame, and purple stem. Thoughts so far are Subrosa armada in raw, fly pantera 3 in raw or Mutiny mystic in white.

I got Fly brakes on saturday too. I've never run fly brakes, but i hear they flex more than evolvers. Anyone have an opinion. and if I get a fly frame, am I much better off with fly brakes? I'm running 30-10, so clearance isn't an issue if i'm to run evolvers. I'll sell the evolvers or fly's, and put the money towards new parts. which am i better off with, considering the fly's will sell for more?

Also, has 'Ross painted his bike yet? I want to see it.

[hubbie]

nah its cool. bit the bullet and bought me a g-sport in black :D



am now brakeless because a little kid got taken out by my cable and kinked it past 90 degrees.

epic. It wasnt donatello rattlesnake and his rocket-banana penises was it?

[tld_06]

I've run both the Fly's and Odsy's with Koolstops and they both performed pretty sweet. Fly's seemed to flex a lot when tyre stalling and stuff like that. Dont get me wrong, Odsy's were good too, but I liked the fly's a lot better when they were set up properly... *cough goldcross cough*

I'd run the fly's.

P.S watch out for the springs on the Fly's.;)

[rhysrhysbaby]

do it cookie monster.

Campillo's are out of stock for a few months! search continues. and Purple colony stems were limited run and out of stock too. So i'm getting black wombolts, but i have to find a new frame, and purple stem. Thoughts so far are Subrosa armada in raw, fly pantera 3 in raw or Mutiny mystic in white.


would you be able to buy whatever stem you were after, then strip the anodising using over cleaner and then paint the stem with the stain glass type spray paint they have at bunnings so it then looks nice and pretty?


couldnt you also just buy a frame and then raw it so the amount of frames available to you is larger!?

I bought some of that oven cleaner this morning. works ok, but i'm using it on brown anodizing which is some of the hardest stuff, so it's pretty good. I haven't seen purple glass stain yet, and i'd rather just buy it purple. theres plenty of purple stems available, I was just hanging out for a colony one, and i don't think they ever came back in stock. same with frames, sure i could just buy any frame, but i've done it before, and i want to buy it as is. aerosol clear coat doesn't protect very well. I just want to buy it as is.

Theres several options i'm considering for both, it's just making my mind up that's hard. I'm not limited for choices.

i think a raw campillo and purple shadow attack FL stem off dans would be a good option and you can get the wombolts from there as well.

I work in a shop, so I get stuff cheap anyway. not worth buying over seas for me, unless i'm desperate.
I wish the pantera 3 came in 21", I'd go one straight away.

Nice bike Breaka, although your Mexican bars are kinda scaring me, hate to see 'em slip airing out.

And which is yours mainstream, the colony or the eastern? :D I'm a fan of the Eastern, great lookin' bike.

the colony is mine and the eastern is my mate pommy ryans bike he spent quite a lot on that thing

Yeah i used WhiteKnight, it isnt the fluro on though. It was cherry rad, with white undercoat

[del]

For anyone interested, i emailed S&M and they wont anodize me a race xlt in the rasta colourway . dlr/d in rasta or DIY anodised race xlt hmmmm. Or just black...

[suG]

ok i now have no idea on what to get
i was first thinking the dehart... but then read that it is nothing special and that fly is much better then fit... so then started looking at the flys and have noticed that they have a higher stand over then the fits...

So i have narrowed it down to these four in order of price:
eddie/dehart/luna/campillo

leaning towards the eddie or the luna.... but i really don't know any more.

[Cameo]

get a Luna man, they're sweet rigs!

http://thetakeonlife.com/v3products.php


eddie and campillo both sound nice.

i road a campillo when i was in Dubbo
the bike was set up weird but it felt good.

[hubbie]

well it's comparably higher. the pantera being 8 and the campillo being 8.3. You just mentioned you wanted low standover. I thought the luna would be close to your sunday.

[del]

Dehart is better than the eddie IMO, especially if you're using pegs. I'm really not a fan of the eddie, it doesnt really have any outstanding features, and too thin dropouts for pegs. didnt like the dehart much either, but its got a really nice feel once i rode it. I really like fly frames. lunas are awesome, the 20.4 has highest standover of all the fly frames, steep front end and short rear!! the campillo is a VERY light frame but realy nice geo, if i were to buy a new frame at this instant, it would be a campillo.

[Belle]

Does any one know how to get profile crank arms off without the special removal tool?

Thanks alot.

[Ruckus_Lord]

get something the size of the spindle, make sure it's bigger than the hole you thread the bolt into! Put that on (preferably a peice of wood/rubber to avoid damage to your spindle) and tap it with a hammer.

If you don't want to do that, just try wiggling it like crazy, i've got mine off a few times doing that.

[hubbie]

ordered a 21" Subrosa Armada in raw with brake mounts. holla.

And just about to backorder a profile acoustic 53mm in purple! I'm excited. and wombolts soon hopefully too, if people buy my stuff.

go on, buy the fit forks!

Building this up, having BB troubles. I got a 20mm spindle but absoloutley noone makes a mid BB size cup wiht 20mm in the middle so im looking for a new spindle now but im not sure if people still make 19mm spindles 8 spline lol... my options are buy a 19mm spindle if they make them in 8 spline or else buy a 22mm spindle and BB OR lathe down my spindle too 19mm. Whats your opinions on lathing a spindle?
http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/6188/knkxg2.jpg

Im getting a primo rim built with a 9t joytech hub solid driver for about 280 i think.

[Lemontime]

Time for new cranks, perhaps? I'm pretty sure nobody in the world makes 5-spline anything these days? All 8 and 48 spline I think..

[matago]

crap meant 8 spline. 5 is typo

[hubbie]

go to a bearing supplier and show them what you're working with, ie. spindle and frame, and see if they have a bearing to match. they do all odd sizes usually.

[matago]

nope rang them up, noone does it.

[Big_Chief]

for the bottom bracket, you could get a primo bb (i think they may come in 22) and put 2mm spacers in it so that your spindle fits.

EDIT: danscomp sell 20mm bearings.

when i get new cranks, I'm RHD at the moment, but plan on switching to LHD when i replace the back wheel within a couple of months. Seeing as wombolts are LHD and RHD specific, am i better to get LHD's for now and run them backwards till new wheel? does anyone run their cranks backwards and have any probs?

[Lemontime]

The pedals will come undone, won't they?

[hubbie]

potentially, but they're done up pretty tight, and i've heard of people running cranks backwards before. really, i'd think there'd have to be a fair bit of friction in the pedal bearings to undo it.

That's a hawt frame hubbie, glad to see you finally made up your mind :p Always had a thing for Subrosas.

how long till you get it built up?

My thoughts exactly.

[hubbie]

I'm hoping end of next week, but maybe 2 weeks from now. I want Wombolts and my purple profile acoustic stem before it goes together. Ordered the stem last wednesday, and it was on a max. 3 week backorder from the distributor, as long as it actually comes in that shipment. then wombolts is a matter of finances, whether i sell some gear, and find enough to do it, or i'll be able to afford it by pay-day in a fortnight at the latest.

I'd rather do it all in one whack, and it'll feel that much nicer. Then in a month or two I should be able to do my new LHD back wheel, and that'll be my bike pretty much dialled.

Anyone know of purple rims that don't lose their colouring from braking? does such a rim exist? might just stick to chrome.

nice mate, who cares if it's a haro. just make yourself a goal like 'when you can do a tailwhip you will upgrade a certain part' or something like that. then you'll get an awesome bike with good progression

Why the change from FAF's? don't like them or something?
I was thinking about getting one for the rear on my bike...

[Grant_9]

Why the change from FAF's? don't like them or something?

i loved them, but i was making an order thru dans so i thort i might as well chuck some in, at only $40 a tyre, cant go wrong!

[biscuit]

Every one seams to dislike FAF on the internet, but every one i talk to about them in real life, fucking loves them. But yeah im getting revenge tires this week. I cant wait

yeh, on forums like bmx-forum and thecomeup, people reckon they are heaps slippery and wear out fast. I'm still gonna get one in the rear i think...

[kona451]

hubbie

[hubbie]

it'll be lower than a bibi I reckon. they're a semi-high frame arent they? My mate has one. The armada is the same seat-tube height as a pantera 3, but the BB is 0.3" lower, so i reckon it'll be pretty low. I'm slamming that badboy.

[jake the snake]

nice bike bazz

[trentsta53]

yeah bazz looks really nice

[hubbie]

Quiz time.
My new frame is meant to use 7degree seatstay brakes. I have 14degree Fly's and 0degree Odyssey Evolver 1's. what should I run? Fly's will look kinda odd being bent too far, but are far lighter than the evos. anyone want to swap fly chainstays for fly seatstays?

Do anno'd rims wear any worse from brakes, than black ones? thinking about rim combo's. I'll put a purple proper on the front, and would like one on the back, but they won't be as strong as a 7ka, and might look horrible with worn colouring. I should just go brakeless! hahaha. If only. I need my brakes.

Here's a photoshop of how my brakeless bike will look, minus the stripped seat:

(i saw a pic on the focal point website like this so i had to copy it :D )

[Cameo]

@ hubbie; get some contast happening if you're so concered about braking surface.

Purple Proper front rim laced to a black hub up front.
Black proper rear rim laced to a Purple Proper Magnalite up the rear!

[hubbie]

i was considering going a chromie on the back if not purple. might look ok with raw and white. sometimes chrome is a little intense.

Grant. 8.8kg is epic!

[bazz1990]

i had the purple proper wheel set i found brakes work fin e you just have to clean your rim heaps for them to work all the time and for strength i aint the heavyest person but from learning flairs they took a beating and still held up

[biscuit]

im very ampt, im ordering new bark for a frame in the net three weeks. :) :) :) :)

[dabomb_freerider]

[VW NUT]

Muxsull it looks good and different... We all cant have mega buck bikes and i like the average bike with a bit of love ie yours... I hope you ride it hard :D

[contagious]

Hey maxull what kind of frame is that. It looks like a giant.

[maxsull]

yea its a giant modem.. yea i ride it hard its smooth as untill 2day i fixed it went down to local sk8 park and on way ther i callapsed a bearing in my bb now its fine to ride (pedal) but wen u pedal bak wards or any movment it grinds(N) anyone got a bb i can buy?

[contagious]

Is your bottom bracket sealed or unsealed?
You can get pretty good unsealed bearings for american bottom brackets.

[maxsull]

i have no idea id say for cost of biek b4 mods id say unsealed.. wats a good unsealed bb for under 100ish?

[contagious]

Just go to your local bike shop. Theyre like 25 bucks for unsealed US bearings.

[Lemontime]

You can still buy a sealed one...

At least I think you can.. :P

[maxsull]

built up new rear wheel. lighter and blingerer.

ive had those duo homans for about 5 months (?) now, and theyre only JUST starting to show signs of wear...
i guess they just wear out quickly for some people...

[Lemontime]

Take the R off the rim, you know you want to..

[Big_Chief]

povi, you must be able to air pretty high, your bike is pretty black




brakeless:cool:

http://i309.photobucket.com/albums/kk363/timcomputer/my%20bike/brakeless.jpg


in the future im going to get a bigger rear tyre and im hopefully looking at a new rear wheel, something along the lines of a g-spot or a 7ka, or whatever rim that comes in black and doesnt lose colour quickly if i decide to go back to brakes.

maybe some new cranks and better pegs if i get the chance...

[JasO]
