Post by: PRO THUNDER on March 15, 2016, 06:41 PM: Hi Bud. Just had another look and i've got a copy of the top and bottom issues. :daumenhoch: Do you want scans of anything? Unfortunately, their not for sale.
Title: Re: Freestyle bmx magazine
Post by: oldschoolace on March 15, 2016, 06:48 PM: Fantastic, cheers bud :daumenhoch:

sounds a bit of an anticlimax now but I'm just looking for scans/photos of any TT Racing products parts, specifically freestyle pegs but anti tweeks, seat clamps and rear platform ads would also be welcome :4_17_5:
Title: Re: Freestyle bmx magazine
Post by: PRO THUNDER on March 15, 2016, 07:40 PM: Could'nt find any TT Racing ads in the two mags I had, but have found an ad for Rear platforms in another same year Freestle mag. The ad isn't very clear, but I'll scan it for you later on this evening and post it up. :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Freestyle bmx magazine
Post by: oldtired on March 15, 2016, 07:43 PM: found this in the archives, alternate to pegs, although their main use was taking the flesh of your ankle bones :LolLolLolLol:

wonder if Sid did actually go back to the 90's , not seen him for a bit :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: oldschoolace on March 15, 2016, 08:13 PM: Cheers squire. I have seen ads for those and I have a set :)
I also have a header card for freestyle pegs though I have never seen any. Was hoping an ad for them may have made it into the copies of freestyle bmx mag above ???

No. I'll have a look in some others I have, but their from a later date. I'll have a look in some BMX Weekly from around the same year, but that will be tomorrow. :daumenhoch:

Post by: chubby on March 15, 2016, 11:03 PM: Found the same piccy, no need to post it up now. Got more to look through when I remember where they are, did see this & thought of you (http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160315/19debc3f7046fee95afde2092323c398.jpg)

Title: Re: Freestyle bmx magazine
Post by: oldschoolace on March 17, 2016, 05:22 PM: It certainly looks like one. My guess is someone cut one down to a single decka.
The slot running round the outside should measure just over 3mm wide

The recess on the end should be curved to suit the rubber O ring, yours looks square?

Someone may have refinished it on a lathe?
Title: Re: Freestyle bmx magazine
Post by: oldtired on March 17, 2016, 06:21 PM: slot is 3.16 mm or thereabouts ,possibly could have been cut down, unsure if it could have been machined on the recessed end , has always been like that, although it does fit neatly on the lock nut of a headset with a flat machined nut , just one of those bits that's always been in the bottom of the parts box :LolLolLolLol:

also doubting weather or not the aforementioned Sid is the "sid straight out the 90's" sid i know, as there were two Sids on here about that time :-\ :-\ :LolLolLolLol: confused me self now :LolLolLolLol:
