My headangle is too steep

[Rik]

I think I need a bigger front wheel, my head angle is too steep... can you help slacken it out for me? Or will I have to get Grip to modify my frame to make it more rideable? Because right now I'm sitting over the front wheel and it's really twitchy.

:oops:

[anfon]

is that a trials bike?

[Rik]

Yeh, but as I said, it's too twitchy for general riding about. Plus being so far forward makes it hard to manual and pedal kick.

[Fritta]

Good try rik :D
FAKE!
or am i just loosing it?

[anfon]

hmm... maybe if you got some bigger forks, that might help a little.

[ELX]

That's been done to death.....

[Rik]

I think I'll put a 20" wheel on the rear, that might help.

[monkeymagic]

yeah im with fritta id say bigger forks should do it...

[Dane]

i heard penny farthing make nice wheels... they should help with ur steep head angle!

[lupine128]

hmmm, after carefull thought i decided the best course of action would be to advise you to get a 90* layback seat post, turn the stem thru 180* so that it points to the rear of the bike, and get some chopper bars. that should give you the feeling of being far enough back on the bike. failing that, maybe try a 16" pitbike wheel on the rear, and see if you can squeeze a 27" front in there. that should do it.

EEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


So you spent all arvo building up your bike like that just so you could take a photo of it and put it up on farkin eh? Why?................


I dont suppose you had the balls to ride it though?

It'd take about 15 mins to do that. And you'd have to be a fucking retard to even consider riding that, given that there is about ZERO overlap in the forks... and they're not actually held together by anything.

[juzza]

i know eh? Why the hell would you even do that? Its just bloody stupid!!!!!!!!! im so annoyed right now

[S.]

Because once you focus your life on eliminating any childishness and becoming 100% efficient, you are an ant. Get over it, it's not like he's wasting YOUR time.

[Rik]

Guess what, it took me about 5 mins, and it's rideable, I'll do it again tomorrow and take some riding pics if you really want. What else is there to do on a rainy day?
So Neerrrr

:P

[naz]

JUzza whats your problem...
its funny how the ones who are always so cynical, never seem to have anything decent to contribute to farkin, your posts are either one worders or haveing a go at people...
meh, do u even ride?

[Fritta]

? Im sooo confused... Is that a fake? If not how did you get the stanchions so long :?

[naz]

its rik playing silly buggers

[Grip]

And you think YOU'RE annoyed, Juzza???? I just spent an hour designing a "cut & shut" to fix Rik's problem.... and it's not even raining here in Melb today!

[MikeT]

get the smallest back wheel you can find and bigger forks

[Avanti_Racing]

? Im sooo confused... Is that a fake? If not how did you get the stanchions so long :?
dc forks without top crown just moved right up??
get a beema rear wheel, you'll b off

Yes to all the above mods, but you also need a banana seat with a sissy bar at the back, and a few tassels. Then, with a set of ape hanger bars up front, you would be ready to ride out for a coffee and some cake

[Rik]

Well today I actually got a Kujo for the front to replace the Mythos, it's a big step going from a 1.9 to a 2.3, mmmm nice and fat. It did kick out the HA a touch more too.

And psychodh, nah, if you see other picss of my bike they are singlecrowns, and always have been.
