[Brozracing192]

west aus rider, that bike would be sex if it had a different seat, nightwolf or slim pivotal for example.

bil, i reckon they look much nicer on the coast-mobile.

[x]

switched bars up

wow, looking so good.

[Jordan!]

Bil, looks freaking awesome.:)
Dove, love your bike.
Profiles would be the way to go.

[hubbie]

Yeah Josh, Fly Tyres and maybe a slim pivotal combo mebe.

[thefrogg]

pivotal can go die with their droopy peen shapes and crappy designs


get fly tyres sunday color bars and 2 more fly pegs :D

our ledge is awesume

[Lemontime]

pivotal can go die with their droopy peen shapes and crappy designs

Care to justify this statement? How are they crappily designed?

[bmxer]

get chrome profiles drom the us they are so cheap atm (mine cost about $120) and get a fly ruben 2.25 folding front and animal glh type r rear tyre.

[DeCkChAiRs]

my new bike, thinking of new tyres as i have a khe mac 1.5 on the back and a dirt monster on the front, whats good for park and a bit of dirt?

nice teeks? i think maybe odyssey stem would make your bike full odyssey. everything you have is like odyssey?

[hubbie]

to justify it i would have to show you meat swing and a picture of a macneil seat but id get banned so im going to shutup

I love my pivotal. Came slightly bent from the previous owner, and i've never bent it. comfy, looks good, and light.

[mainstreambmx]

i think pivotal is the greatest because i once had the aitken seat and bent the rails after a month or two of riding,

and now ive had a pivotal for over 8 months and its the best theres nothing wrong with it.

[del]

and what do you really not like about pivotal seats?

I haven't found a pivotal seat that I really like the look of yet. the kink one is so far the best, but its nowhere near a large number of railed seats. Railed's give more adjust-ability if you so wish, though I can see the appeal of a pivotal for weight and simplicity. meh, i'm not changing my fly fino any time soon.

I also have 2 KHE mac 1.5 streets for sale, one brand new, one used but plenty of life left in it. PM if your interested.

I had one flash sitting just in front of me on 1/4 +0.7 power. Camera was at 1/160. f5.6. Nikon D40x, Sigma 10-20. A fair bit of photoshop, yes. Increased exposure, increased temperature, increased blacks, increased contrast, increased clarity..
All done in CameraRAW in photoshop.

forgot i even asked you! thanks heaps man, might give me a project to try and take better photos of my bike =D

[jake b]

Nice bike.* Funny how you stumbled across Pandora's I was riding with a guy today who had bars that look pretty much identical to them and i'm pretty sure they where just stock Subrosa bars.What ever you got them for they do the job.

im needing a hub guard, and so im wondering if a shadow conspiracy one will fit onto my profile front hub...

thanks heaps!

[biscuit]

im getting new bar and fork in the next three weeks, and im exited but the only gay thing is that im going to have to grind a little bit of my peg out to get the animal peg to fit in the 28mill ofset, but ohwell

[DANCLOSH]

Just get a Gsport Gland

Or an actual profile front guard
http://www.danscomp.com/512044.php?cat=PARTS


Most guards will work with most hubs though, they usually just thread onto the axle replacing the original cone nuts and stuff.

Check out all the ones on danscomp, most say either what hubs it fits, or something like "will fit any hub with flange diameter of..." yada yada yada

[bmxer]

finished building my bike up all the parts came this morn just waiting on my profile cranks and animal glh type r rear tyre annd I am pickup up my front wheel tomorrow.its 10.5ish kg atm but should be less then 10 tomorrow.The brake works so good 1st time using twin lower cables and it works so much better than the orgy system.

Nice man!
Really sexy.
Lunas are so good. :)

[Azerin]

ive broken my rear rim and ive found its actualy going to be cheaper to order a complete rear wheel rather than simply replacing the rim so i was wondering if any1 knows a good setup, i was thinking of going with a freecoaster since i was willing to spend up to around $200 and ive found that there are several freecoaster set ups out there in that price range (complete wheel with free coaster hub that is)

[Chandler_DJer]

Well after selling my MTB, it was time for a BMX. Here stands part of it, all my other parts are at the shop awaiting cranks so I thought I'd bring some home.

cammeray on ernest street on cammeray golf course next to the tennis courts. I have been twice once We didn't even bother walking in, there was no chance of a run, and the 2nd time we got about 4 runs in 2hrs.Pretty bad set out for bikes, you have to go round it in a circuit to ride all the good stuff. There is a sick wall ride to bank for right foot forward people. I'm going to go back in a few months when it calms down or might try a school day but most the skaters just skate there all day everyday.

I rode this park with my Bro last night for about 20mins. It's pretty much a street set up. Heaps of boxs to grind but not much else. It was pretty crowded with skaters too. I had a shit ride. It was getting really dark and starting to rain.

Would love to get it empty and work out all the good lines.

Oh yeah..... The floor of the park is made out of this super hard smooth rubber shit. It's really odd. It's super quick but has a bit of give in it. I've never seen that before.

i'd say waterloo is still the place to go.

tld06 i remember reading somewhere that the fly headset caps dont sit properly on the impact bearings or something and it causes problems.

Yeah, just found out about it, apparently they don't sit down on top of the locator in the internal headset. I'll grab a set of Fly bearings as well then. Thanks for that.

[thefrogg]

dont do that either fly bearings are shit as ask heaps of people on here they crack in half

[Grant_9]

dont do that either fly bearings are shit as ask heaps of people on here they crack in half

thats very true, the whole top of mine cracked and came off...

but the fly headset i have now is still running great, no signs of breaking, yet :)

[matty hall]

What about the FSA integrated head sets. Has anyone had experience with any of them. I am building a bike and was just wondering if they were anygood. I have one on my MTB and it is fine, are they the same thing pretty much?

Thanks.

[hubbie]

Triple Six ones (branded by the same named distributor) are a cheap and quality option. I use their BB's and Headsets

[matty hall]

okay. thanks man. ill have a look into it.

[tld_06]

Triple Six ones (branded by the same named distributor) are a cheap and quality option. I use their BB's and Headsets

Second that. I ran a Tripple six headset for around 4 months with no problems whatsoever.

Starting to worry over buying that fly headset now... How unreliable are they?

In other news, Ti pegs on, brakes off, cut grip flanges and fixed headset:)

[Grant_9]

ti pegs??

what are ti pegs like? seems a little extravagant to me. is it worth the extra money??

They're a friggin waste of dollars. I have the shadow conspiracy and Snafu versions and they're both shit. Light as fuck but shit.

If only I knew about Plegs before I got them.

The only reason why I got them is because I was getting really unbalanced with standard stockie chro-mo pegs.

Do not touch them unless you desperately, desperately hate plegs.

Snafu Ti Pegs are $120 a pair, shadow are around $150.

Anyone need a cheap Shadow Conspiracy Rant V2 LHD 10t cheap? 36 hole light blue?

thanks, yer the pictures dont do it much justice but it looks pretty sick in person.

[Brozracing192]

i actually like it for some reason, though a orange back rim would improve it immensly

[tld_06]

Orange stem and Orange rear rim with matching spokes to the front would look pretty nice.

Can anyone sell me a really cheap 22mm mid BB:), I need money for pedals as well and can't afford both at the moment!

[andy.C]

Nice bike. Where abouts are those canals and do you know if they go underground anywhere.

thanks, there in rockdale which link up to a shit load of other canals. they do go underground aswell.
if your keen to ride them/explore the place just pm me or something


You were at Dulwich the other day weren't you?

I could remember riding with you before, but couldn't put my finger on it, then Antonius told me you were telling him about me or something the other day. Hah.

Where are those drains?
lol yeh, like i just stated above there in rockdale. atm there building a skatepark in rockdale which should be done soon which is like only 5-10min ride from this spot. it isnt really worth making the trek for this one spot until they have finished, as there's no good spots in the area
but yeh like i said to the other guy if your keen i'll show you the place

[rhysrhysbaby]

so this is what my macneil stem looks like.

and when i was at my parents all last week i ripped a hole in my wtp grips and all i could find were odyssey gedda grips as replacements.

^^^^ stem looks sooo simple i like.

[Grant_9]

that stem is so beautiful rhys!

[hubbie]

nice clean simple stem. looks like the old standard toploader.

Doing lots of painting on my brakeless bike today. Frame Forks and bars, all matte black. I now have everything but a seat combo sourced. I'll use my two current wheels from the subrosa on my brakeless bike, so no more purple rims. I didn't really want any white on it to start with, but i already have white odyssey pc's and white spokes on the wheels, so chances are i'll leave them that way for now. Therefore, I may use my black/white macneil seat on the brakeless and get a federal or kink or new macneil for the subrosa. I'm excited.

[rhysrhysbaby]

i stripped my s&m seat in an effort to cover it in awesome material, but royally stuffed it up and now im stuck with a stripped seat.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y41/iwearmoccos/SL371879.jpg
here is where audience opinion counts.
tonight if i can get home, get my surly and ride to the bike shop before it closes i will get a new seat.

The two options are.

black/black kevlar eccd $62.99

or

black aitken $49.99

So i built my luna last week and its awesome. I spent over an hour on it after the photos were taken but its to dark now so i cbf. The stuff i did: re covered the striped seat, Chopped that bolt for the ruben guard, put one of the chain tensioners on. put an old left side white pedal on and painted the no grid side black. re spaced the BB so its running perfect now.

i dont like it, you should of got the 21" i mean it still has the same rear end, just with a little more leg room

you could give it a go but i think the biggest you can fit is 28t

thanks everyone else.

[del]

Looks amzing suG!!!!! .. love the chrome crank with orange pedals I may steal that idea ;) longer frames are useless for street IMO (for your size anyway) shorter/average one gives more control and twitchiness, spinnable, nose/ manuals. longer TT for trails and park rats to do cans etc and for stability. I wish the 20.6 luna had the same rear and HT angle as the 20.4 though.

On topic. I put my KHE back on, cleaned my BB, driver and filthy filthy chain (15 petrol rinses!!!) and put a few more stickers on. I rode city for the first time in months the other day cus of sickness, lets just say im SLIGHTLY out of touch :D

FYI: my fly lasted me ages, and I got it second hand. my mate who had it before me called it a slut frame cause so many people used and thrashed it riding street. its still 100% fine aside from a TT dent that originated from a handrail smash!! there havent been any cracked lunas or tierras that i am aware of, nor campillos. hmm. next frame definetely a fly again!

[Cameo]

yeh im keen to just try it out but i don't wanna go and shell out like $60 if i don't really like it. I suppose i could always just have it as a back up for the front tyre when it dies though...

[hubbie]

probably ordering my wheels tomorrow (proper ceramic hubs and purple rims). Photoshopped it up to suss out how it looks. I think it looks over the top, photoshopped, and the colours are probably off, but would look more subtle in real life. Also did it with black bars and forks, which I'd consider one day. It's not hard to change rims later on, if I don't like it, but I hate to be a time and money waster.

I need peoples opinion whether the purple rims are too over the top. It could look awesome or a bit too ravey.

Colony levers are annoying and expensive. want to keep the purple to the rims and stem now. So many importers seem useless with stock, and Profile suck with knowing what they'll even ship out. Purple profile stem just didn't turn up. importer doesn't even know Fit DL stems ever came in purple. Think i'll wait till next shipment and hope profile stem comes.

On another note I think the purple rims and black bars/forks looks dope

With absolutely no experience in either of these hubs my opinion may not be valid, but so far I have heard of no one having any sort of trouble with the Proper ceramic bearing hubs. There have been a few instances of shadow hubs, particularily the axles being a bit soft, but those riders were hacks with pegs.

Ever Consider Wethepeople supreme hubs? Had a ride on one the other day and couldn't believe how much better they are than Odyssey V2's.

shadows are nice
only problem with mine is that it has wobble
which isn't much of a problem no noise etc.

about 5 dudes run the wethepeople supremes at my local
they have had not one problems with the hubs so far.

one guy runs the proper,
you have to take some washer out of them or they seize up apparently.

i have also heard alot of bad shit about rant axles snapping and bending and the cones stripping out.

A couple of guys at my local ride the WTP's and havent had any trouble with them whatsoever.

You could see if tempered bikes still makes their front hub. Which i think they dont, but you could still beg them to sell you their leftover stock and give some stickers

[Big_Chief]

chandler that looks sick, but do something about that chode steerer.

what do you guys think about running pegs with profile hubs, i know it would be fine with the rear one, but i havent had much experience with pegs and female axles and so im unsure on using them with a front hub. your thoughts would be appreciated.

[Chandler_DJer]

yeah thats big cheif. but there are some fully sick carbon spacers on there so the chode stays.

and my thoughts, you smell.

cya round.

[Bikes Bats New Tatts]

Yeah Chandler - Your Sunday is super-boss!

It sux you have to tape up the brake cable though! : (

[bazz1990]

well i got a new chrome rear primo balence rim so i relaced my wheels i got my old black back rim and laced it to the front with chrome spokes and purple nipples and i laced the rear hub to the chrome primo balence with chrome spokes and purple nipples.also i saw that i had one of the old colony sprokets and its started to flar where the bolt conects to the crank so i ordered a purple profile wake sproket i havent seen one b4 so i hope they look ok.http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/8123/dscf6589vp9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[hubbie]

[brettyG]

Haha, decisions decisions Hubbie :p

How about purple spokes to match the rims? Or yellow to contrast them, now there's a cool idea.

[bazz1990]

yer i thought i would be different since every one has black spokes i thought i could do somthing different i love how it turned out thanks for the comments .also has any one seen a profile wake sproket are they any good?

[hubbie]

purple would be too much, and yellow would be eeeewww

has any one seen a profile wake sproket are they any good?

[matty hall]

What does evryone think about the profile imperial sproket? Are they any good or are they more targeted towards racing.

Thanks.

[rexhunta]

Yes. Giant Mosh. CU-92 frame and forks. Must be close to 10.15 or 10.2, as it measured it before came it 10.1, this time 10.2

^ looks good mate. those frames have some pretty interesting graphics, i like the yellow repetitive pattern on the black paint - great colour contrast. good to see you've continued the trend with a fluroescent blue 'macneil' sticker on the black. you should look into design as a profession, as you've clearly got an eye for asthetics. although i'm not too sure about the chrome/white/black.

[Brozracing192]

I just put pegs on. Went for a bit of a test run, getting back into the whole grinding thing. Decided i dont like them, and am going to take them off until i can get a set of real light ones.

Whattttt? The dude put some stickers on his bike, thats not exactly 'designing'...
I personally think there are too many stickers, but hey..
oh, and your front wheel is out of alignment ;)

above bike looks pretty slick, but do something about that seat, your gonna get raped by it.


in other news, i have lost 10 scene points by fixing my brake and putting it back on and increasing my seat height to 1 inch above slammed position...im even thinking of maybe cutting my bars a bit.:(
