Post by: Threaders on December 30, 2010, 04:09 PM: Definatly up for riding it in the summer. It will be a hassle cleaning it each time if I ride it now and also want to get some spare decals for when they fet scratched. Any chance you can elaborate on turning the front wheel round pickle. Thanks for your comments, Jonathan

Post by: pickle on December 30, 2010, 04:16 PM: sorry mate, just a personal thing.......look at the back wheel and the spokes point forwards, on OGK type wheels the front should do the same.........undo the wheel nuts, take the wheel out and twist it 180 degrees so the front spokes match the rear :daumenhoch:

Post by: Threaders on December 30, 2010, 06:27 PM: Hi Del, do you still have these decals on file to send me a spare set?? and have you had any joy with those custom skyway decals I asked about? Not in a mad rush for either but let me know when you have chance. Thanks, Jonathan.

Post by: Threaders on December 31, 2010, 06:34 PM: Thanks for all your kind words. I am really happy with the help I have had on this forum and reckon I have truly got the bug for bulding and the odd bit of resto.
I know what you mean about parts. I tried to cut corners with this build by getting cheap tyres and cable, but in the end its worth the cash to get decent things as you will never be happy with it otherwise.
The only corner I managed to cut on this one in the end were the calliper copies, which poolysherrif gave me for nowt and I resprayed them and got the decals of del.
I am already looking at spending a bit now on custom frame pads for my mongoose and skyway :-\ :-\
