Today I bought, or it got delivered, or I fitted...

Delivered today:- a Shadow Conspiracy Seth Kimbrough signature seat from 2010!! Super sick design and in great condition for its age. I bought it to put on my race bike but it's so cool that now I'm not so sure.

Bought today;- Four RideNow polyurethane inner tubes. I've always been dubious about these but AliExpress had such a great deal on them that I just couldn't resist!

Deja vu post! Kind of:-

Delivered today:- those four RideNow poly tubes that I ordered last week. Unbloodybelievably light!! Scarily so. Now I just need to decide what wheels I’m brave enough to put them on.

Bought today, well, last night;-  Some DMR Vault pedals, in the oil slick finish as they’re the Lacon version. Used but in great-looking condition, famous last words. Will report back when they arrive.

I used those tubes on my road bike. Yes, very light. They do pop easily though according to my brother. Mine has been OK (rear is tubular so strong AF). They do go down a lot though and need pumping up every time you ride. Might be the valve, though.

Talking of which..... All Ti pedals fitted and the Ridley 4ZA fork.



It now weighs 16.94lb. You want to talk about scary? get on a bike that big that weighs that little lmao. It's like walking down the street naked !

That looks super-trick.

It's a weapon tbh. Fair weather only though.

Some used, magnesium-bodied, Wellgo pedals have just arrived. I bought them for my Quamen, only to realize that I already have some pedals set aside for that.

They're a nice shade of dark grey, though, and super light too, so I may still use them on the Quamen or even give 'em a go on the Redline.

Odyssey have recently re-released their "Nightwolf" seats in black and grey, so I gave in to the temptation and have ordered a railed one.

I swear turning 50 sets off a trigger in your body. Had Covid and then flu in a row from October til past Christmas, and now I am suffering from an infection. I won't go into it, because it will make you whince but yeah. I am not even capable of working on anything right now, let alone buying anything or riding. Fookin sucks

[Mikku]

Hang in there mate!

Picked up that Nightwolf seat yesterday and it’s flippin’ cool!

I may run it on the Redline, so have been keeping an eye out for a black, railed post in the not so common (for BMX frames) 26.8mm. After leaving the bike shop, I checked out a secondhand store which sells bike parts and found a Thomson post in… yes, 26.8mm!! It has a few marks, of course but is straight and uncut!! Perhaps more importantly, it was half the price of used ones currently for sale online. Needless to say I bought it pdq!!
