hey Giles nice to hear from you ... thought about a rotor last night, not sure wether it'd clear the ball basher round head tube .. tyres are 1.75s so rotor could be best to tidy it up .
any thoughts on best to get mate ?
Hi Richard,

You shouldn't have any problems fitting a Rotor to your bike. Here's the cheapest one I've found so far......
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NOS-BMX-Spinners-BMX-Rotor-BMX-Stem-Rotors-ACS-Rotor-Kit-ACS-Spinner-/150680062802?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item23153b4b52

Hopefully the new tryes you've ordered will have a lower tread pattern and you'll be able to use the Potts mod on the stem. Still trying to figure out why there's no clearance though!  :daumenhoch:

Giles  ;)

I wasnt so sure about the rotor Giles,I don't know if the bottom headset cup with the cable guide will clear the top tubes,if it does i'd be surprised if you could get a cable to it?check the frame pics!!I've studied the pics hard,and lso the ones of your falcon pro for  reference and i dont reckon it'll work!! :daumenhoch: :idiot2:

I'd need to see a better picture from above the headset but I still think a Rotor would fit. The cable wouldn't fit into the bottom headset cup of it was in the same position as mine but you can place that cup in any position you want to get the right clearance for the cable. Couldn't tell for sure though until I see a picture from up above.  :daumenhoch:

hiya mate that's fookin smart... shame its in bits though.
thought about changing the colour on mine but couldn't decide on one. now glad I've kept it white.
if you get forks made from katie the clearence for pots mod is very very tight too...
