I'm going to buy a new flatland bike from flatland fuel soon. but im no expert on the specifications of parts so could someone check to make sure all my parts are compatable?

Also im not sure of what wheel set to get. i know the freecoaster but not spokes or rims. any recommendations or things i should know about them?

This is my list so far:

KGB Psychopower Frame 3/8 - $269.99

Basic BMX Chain-Black - $6.99

Odyssey 41 Thermal Cranks Euro - $114.99

FSA Impact Integrated Headset - $32.99

05'/06' Odyssey Flatland Fork 3/8 - $89.99

We The People Defcon Dual Compound Grip - $8.99

Nankai Techno Lite Freecoaster w/ 3/8" axle and 11T - $104.99

Ares 88 Products Pedal - $15.99

Fly Suelo Pegs - $34.99 x 4 = $139.96 ($35 for 1?)

Primo Hemmorhoid Alloy Superlight seat - $27.99

Odyssey Mr. Clampy - $7.99

Odyssey G.I. Seatpost - $11.99

Fly Suelo Sprocket - $24.99

Odyssey Bar Mitzvah 2pc. Bar - $54.99(i might buy new ones)

KHE Lamello Tire - $17.99 x 2 = $35.98

Odyssey Evolver Brake - $29.99 x 2 = $59.98

Wheels ???

_______

Sub Total = $1078.78

Minus parts I already have = $910.83

= £513.81

Shipping (UK) - $199.99

Total = $1110.82

The blue prices are the parts i already have.

I dont think that shipping will be that expensive... i hope not anyway.

I have missed small parts like cables off the list.

Can anyone recommend rims / spokes??? i will be paying pat to lace my wheels for me. benifits of cross / radial??


Thanks :)

heres my input:

Fly Suelo Pegs - $34.99 x 4 = $139.96 ($35 for 1?)

its 35 for 2, so 70 for 4, not 140

and for stem, i dont like the bizhouse, idk what your preference is, but id go with the quamen stem if i were you

for tires, id go with freq gs, i swear their the best i love them

youve picked a back hub, but no rim or front wheel

i run a primo balance in the front and it holds up well, maybe ull want to consider that

thats my front hub, it runs really smooth and plus you can get it in colors :D

spokes- i use primo spokes and they seem to be strong, ive had them for about 4-5 months maybe?

maybe that rim for back


and idk how much you really want that frame, but if you want to try to save a little money you could go with something cheaper

for the fork, ive been running that one for awhile too, the only thing is your eaither gunna need to run quite a few spacer, or just cut the steer tube, which i did with a hacksaw and it took like half an hour, which you could prolly get a bike shop to do if you dont want to do it

headsets arnt that hard to put in, except those frames use internal, idk if its the same, but with reg headsets, you could either get a mallet or block of wood, grease the inside of the headtube, and hammer the cups in, its actually pretty basic, just make sure you use something soft so you dont dent them or mess up the bearings or anything

you can also ask pat to press the cups in for ya, at least he did that for my frame, but maybe i'm special:)
and on cutting the odyssey forks: it took me about 10 minutes with a dremel tool, dont even try cutting it with a pipe cutter, the heat treated metal will destroy the cutting wheel. if you want a clean cut, your best bet would be to take it to a bike shop and have it done.
