Even a sprayed on stencil will rub off, just get new decals once youve ridden the thing or dont use your brakes  :daumenhoch:

i'd deffo have a cheap set of tyres rready for if you wanna have a roll around on it.

cbrgill  sell em does he ?

the brake pad will warm up the painted stencil and rub it around the rim - nice black marks  :daumenhoch:

rider wheels or sand/razor off what you will have done and start again

ride it as it has got to be used or just don't ride the bike and hang it on a wall  ???


looks very sweet  8) but raise the stem a little (it will ride better)

That bike looks sweet.  :daumenhoch:
I'd change the pedals for DXs though.
Swap the whole wheelset if you want to ride it though or you WILL fook the rims.

hi all thanks for the replys, im gonna try and get some different tyres for it and just let the stickers on the zeds peel, i always remember that it was rare to see a zed with the livery anyways!

the pedals were a funny one, they were the last thing to get and I won those triple traps for £1.86 on ebay, so I put em on 'temporary"  !

where is the best place to get some tyres that would suit it, that arnt mental money (40quidish pair)

is there such a thing as freestyle tyres repros???
