Bit annoying. Rear one was lovely, front one was filthy and covered in release powder. Thankfully I have dealt with this before, just needs a good strong degreaser.

They are banning hexavalent plating yes. Apparently there is another way of doing it, but I doubt it will be as good. They already banned the old method years ago.

OK I know it ain't much but I got the chain done.



I've either been doing building work in the loft or it has been freezing cold.

That's the ballbag jobs done now tbh. Getting the cranks mounted was about as much fun as peeling my bellend with a rusty potato peeler and I HATE CHAINS.

So the next time I get it out and break out the wrenches it should be going outside within moments.

After three sets of tyres on the code I have decided on the forever set. Was a toss up between these, Holy Rollers or Creepy Crawlers, but the .com on the end of those was nagging me.

I also got them staggered, 1.85 for the rear and 2.1 up front.



I had decided a long time ago it was going to be a rear brake only trail slayer. It doesn't have a potts mod on either, and I have lots of gyro laden freestyle bikes.

BMX Chat / Re: Tutorial on posting pictures on this forum using Imgur as a host.

Thanks for that one! 

I recently got some messages from the old picture hosting-site "photobucket" telling me I'd loose my images if I don't upgrade.
That reminded me of all the catalogs I've posted on here some moons ago. I'll try to refresh my old posts by using imgur.

Thanks again for your effort. 

Yeah they are a bunch of D bags. They tried the same with me, holding my images hostage, but I paid $1 for an app that let me download them all.
