Re: wheels? posted on 2006-12-31 03:34:57

I would say the Irish wheelset, but it isn't out yet. I'd say Proper or Hazards. Or the KHE wheelset.

Just a 'lil something. posted on 2006-12-28 21:45:00

So yeah, today my and my friend went down to the local skatepark to go biking and such. It was alright, there were alot of skaters, but we were still managing to do some good tricks.
...Then they came.
A white Blazer with the decal saying "Wheelsport East" rolled up.
We kept biking.
We got embarassed.
We left.

Don't you hate it when that happens, you're all having a good time and all that, then bikers waaay better than you come up?
Just thought I had to say that.
Peace out.

I would say just search on Google Video, YouTube, MySpace, and all that.
...
And you spelled Aitken wrong.

Re: what kind of lacing???? posted on 2006-12-25 03:01:08

I use X3, on a set of Sun ZX-25's laced to Specialized hubs for street. Works good, haven't had any problems, also, my bike is pretty light, about 25-30 lbs, lighter than most bikes around this area. I would say go with the standard X3, or if you're not concerned about weight go hardcore and go like, X5, or however many crosses you can get. If you are concerned about weight, I would suggest X2 at the lowest, depending on your riding style. I do drops up to like, 3 feet tall. If you don't do many drops, I'd say X2.

So it's just like learning one-footers with a can-can?

Simple, just post a pic of your bike, and your parts if you feel like it.

Specialized Fuse I, 2006.
All stock except:
Hoffman 3 piece crank, black. (Unsealed.)
Mosh Step pedeals, red. (Unsealed.)

Took the brakes off a while back because my gyro plate bent. Should be getting a straight cable whenever I feel like putting one on.

'Ay.

No footed cans? posted on 2006-12-20 12:37:11

Alright, so I learned can-cans, one footers, nac-nacs, etc. I just wanna know, when you do a can-can, how hard is it to take your other foot off?

Re: took off cable guides, can I still run u-brakes? posted on 2006-12-20 06:12:13

Yeah, you can run brakes if you still have your mounts. You'll just need a straight cable and some zipties.

Re: 180s posted on 2006-12-20 01:47:18

Like a week. It's easier if you learn how to get out of fakie on a bank or something and learn how to get pivots consistant.

Re: any odd mods posted on 2006-12-19 20:36:00

Ummm, I used to run my rear brakes on the left before I took them off. Does that count?

Re: Brandon Bogar mini-part. posted on 2006-12-14 13:07:09

Eh, it's just a rough draft for the video coming in...whenever. I've learned a few new tricks and my friend...Hasn't...What a slacker. Anyways, yeah. All that in the video is easy shit. Prolly post another mini video up in a few months. So expect this:
Barpsins.
Turndowns.
Short-ass handrails because we don't have balls. At all.
Tailwhips...? (I just can't get my foot back onto the pedals.)
X-ups...?(Confidence thing. I know they're basic.)

Re: crank help please help me posted on 2006-12-14 13:01:48

It depends if it's sealed or unsealed. If it came stock on your current bicycle, it's probably unsealed. There are two, technically three bolts on the side of the crank opposite the drive side. Spin those CLOCKWISE to loosen them as they are reverse threaded, after taking off the crank arm. After that, take out the spindle. Now, to fit it on your Fit, it is very important to make sure the bottom bracket is the same size. If not, you'll need to buy a new one, which costs around 15-30, and if you do need to get a new bottom bracket, make sure the bottom bracket is the right spindle size. Most spindles come in 19mm or 22mm, so adjust accordingly.

I don't have that much experience with sealed bearings, but I'll try.

If it is sealed, I believe first you would have to unbolt the crank arm on the non-drive side and remove the washers and covers between the arm and the bearings. After that, pull out the bearings, and continue removing the crank accordingly, then use a hammer and a fork, or a socket extension to beat the cups out, if it's an American BB, or whatever the fuck bottom bracket which also has the bearing sitting in cups.

It's not that, it's just that the forum puts an uneccessary %3Cbr at the end of the adress. Just delete that and you'll be good.
