New School Racing / Re: 2024 Race Blog - Year 8 - It's Never Too Late!!
« Last post by Mikku on April 05, 2024, 11:26 AM »So the Chiba race didn't happen. Well it did, but not for me, as I decided to stay at home and work my way through a jobs-to-do around the house list instead. I did manage to do some training in between the chores, so all wasn't lost. 
Another reason for not going is the chance to race this weekend in Osaka, at the first round of the 2024 series at Oizumi. The weather was looking a bit iffy but now looks okay, so fingers crossed that continues through Sunday.

Tech and Restoration / Re: A dream of mine. Not a BMX, but has some BMX parts
« Last post by Midschoolfool on April 04, 2024, 07:43 PM »I can repair the chain. I have ordered what KMC call 'the missing links? which with the correct tool yeah, will fix that very expensive chain that I only rode twice.
I'll keep the YBN as a backup but I'm determined now to keep it under 17lb.
The life of a weight weenie lmao.

So the first and one of the hardest things to do was respace the wheel back to 130. This required redoing about 5 times until the axle was finally centered enough to satiate my OCD.
This was before I did that (four more times) but it works.
What's important here is cog position.
Which is great. Remove wheel and replace decals. Not redoing the clear yet. It's functional but a tiny bit misty. I can live with that.
I think a brillo pad would sort it tbh. Gotta be worth a go. Build front end.
And then finally, FINALLY fit that elusive Ti BB. And then fit the cranks.
Then put the PK away and get some sleep. Wake up, fit more parts. Destroy rear inner, have to order another. I also destroyed that 120 quid chain so ordered a YBN.
Change front tyre from 25c to 28c for a softer ride.
Cut hand mysteriously.
Fit wheel.
I've done some small PPF and the bottom pic, I will get some more pics later. This is the chain I ordered.
I'm over expensive and flimsy chains. And very expensive chain tools that snap (F U Shadow and your supposedly indestructible crap). I've also ordered a new brake cable inner for the rear.

Old School Race (riders ready, pedals ready... GO!!) / Re: Motobecane MX152
« Last post by Chilli Rinse on April 02, 2024, 07:08 PM »Incoming 
I have been looking for a set or just frame and stem pads for 4 years now. Finally with the help from a French eBay and Leboncoin seller, a complete set was bought at a very decent price. The 152 will be looking as she should when these are fitted. I can't wait!
