I wish i could lurch...
i think my bike is too heavy...
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
Too heavy?? 15kg is allright.. my bike was 17.1kg with the boat anchor DJ3s on it.
Its down to about 15.5 now and when I put the 26" wheel on the back, which is really light, it should go under 15.

Feels like my legs been hit by a freight train :o
.
ouch!
and a splined b.b.
must have whacked it pretty hard.
tome for a Holzfeller gigapipe, or a raceface.
Yea.. I was big hit testing my forks.. :duh
that taught me, no more silly buggers..
10 splines is ISIS right?
Whats a strong cheap BB?... 😠
.
Far out man that looks painfull. Is that a bmx bottom bracket or mtb.
If bmx I have good kranks & cromo shaft that won't brake Im not using.
My season ended this week. Alfter prcticing for DH race last weekend I must have tweeked my good knee (didn't realize ar time) but the day after I was getting strong shooting stabing pains through my knee as I walled.
Dosn't look good as this pain is caused buy over extending the knee joint which mean a ligament tear of somekind will be seeing specialist soon.
dam knees
Hey Nige, its an MTB BB which runs a BMX 10 spline axle.
Whats the axle you have??
Could be interested in grabbin it off ya
Cheers
.
ouch-yes
part of the fun - supposedly yes too...

What happened exactly?
Something like this link?

...and Robert's ya father's brother...
I was jumping my dirtjump to flat.. for some stupid reason.
Wont be doing that again any time soon.
The axle is pretty BMX specific
19mm / 145mm 10 spline
.
hmm.. euro bb shell too.
maybe some DMR Cheiftains.
tubular crmo is probably more suited to your needs than forged alloy.
They are square section CrMO BMX cranks, with a BMX spindle in euro BB with press fit bearings.
I dont think I will be snappin them any time soon
Just need a better spindle.
.
Ill dig em out tonight and try email a pic to ya
Oh shit its shopping night tonight Ill do it as soon as I can .
I know there not profill but similar
Cheers mate
.
Shit just checked out that vid
Thats an big drop and he made it.
Big drop = Big balls
What vid??
.
massive...
...and Robert's ya father's brother...
Thought you guys would like to see this.
A mate did this on the Weekend..
The landings out of shot down in the lower right corner.
Well over 20ft.
.
He was landing with barely a noise from his bike, was smooth as.
He ended up doing it 6-7 times.
.
this thread looks like more fun than i can possibly imagine...
i got a cheap mtb for daily commuting (about 15kms a day) and i love it!
but i cant even jump it up to the kerb! i find this strange, seeing as how when i was much younger on my old mtb i could do some crazy shit (for a girl) and used to ride some decent trails.
it could just be the 10 or so kilos in the rear basket, or...
i cant do stuff like than anymore because im puny 🙁
my best friend is currently trawling ebay to put together a downhill bike... all on my credit card.
he had better let me ride it when its finished 😀
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
Nice one.
I hate jumps where i can't see the landing from take off.
I munched my foot 2 weekends ago on a 6 foot drop so decided to upgrade my bike for next race. (if I can't ride it I like to play in the shed)
Got new FSA cranks, E thirting chain device, X9 trigger & der, pro tapper bars and SIC stem (bolts to top of boxxer crown).
Im not doing this cause I just have shit loads of cash but everything is just flogged out so bad on my bike as it hasent been replaced for a few years.
Didn't now how i was going to perform this year so I put off upgrading untill I new it was worth it. Last race I was in the top 3 of my grade again (vets) and just missed the top 20 by a few seconds. So with more time on the bike and luck I may make it.
Also Im having problems posting pics of cranks shall I just email them ?
Cheers Nige
Yea email please dude

Another to give some perspective
Its a road gap over that 4wd track.
