Change of plan again. A set of Demolition Medial V3 came up on Ebay. He wanted 40 quid. They are super strong, and 19mm. Tatty, though.
But as tatty as they are I don't see any dents or gouges. After doing some digging it appears they were made in several colours.
White being one. I am pretty sure I have a black Demolition decal from the brakes I bought. Any way, yeah, didn't want to spent 230 quid on the same thing pretty much (Revolt) so I got those. Then did the final order from Source.

A pic of them in white...
Midschoolfool:
Well I got over a day early. Pretty much everything has arrived. Checked over the Demo cranks and physically they are absolutely perfect. Axle comes out very easy, no dents at all just a small crease in the back of the pedal boss in one side which is miles away from the threads.
Sadly that was where my luck ended. Tried to strip them and nothing happened. So I cracked out the belt file and within about ten seconds my last belt snapped. *sigh*. It's crap like this I wanted to avoid. Lost my rag for a bit, but have ordered (hopefully) stronger better belts that won't fly off after ten seconds.
Midschoolfool:
F me you can tell when you are having one of those days... Loaded up the plotter with the blue vinyl and it chewed it up :LolLolLolLol:
That said it was crap vinyl, because I could not find the good 3M stuff in blue at a size that would not cost me a oner. So I cut it in the cosmic black (it has glitter in) that the cranks decals were done from. I then sat and sorted through it all. Shit job, but someone has to do it.
Might start tackling the fork tomorrow, but when my mind is in this state everything I touch will turn to shit. We'll see.
Midschoolfool:
Rear wheel needs to be taken apart, cleaned and greased etc. Will get to that soon, not going to rush right now.
