Anyone got issues 11,12 or 13?

PRO THUNDER · « **Reply #1 on:** March 13, 2016, 05:04 PM »

I've got a few. Mine go by date and year, not issue number??

Think I'm after Feb March and April 85. The following May edition has a vdc chainsaw freestyler test in it

Hi Bud. Just had another look and i've got a copy of the top and bottom issues.

Do you want scans of anything? Unfortunately, their not for sale.

oldschoolace · « **Reply #9 on:** March 15, 2016, 06:48 PM »

Fantastic, cheers bud

sounds a bit of an anticlimax now but I'm just looking for scans/photos of any TT Racing products parts, specifically freestyle pegs but anti tweeks, seat clamps and rear platform ads would also be welcome

Could'nt find any TT Racing ads in the two mags I had, but have found an ad for Rear platforms in another same year Freestle mag. The ad isn't very clear, but I'll scan it for you later on this evening and post it up.

found this in the archives, alternate to pegs, although their main use was taking the flesh of your ankle bones

wonder if Sid did actually go back to the 90's , not seen him for a bit

Cheers squire. I have seen ads for those and I have a set

I also have a header card for freestyle pegs though I have never seen any. Was hoping an ad for them may have made it into the copies of freestyle bmx mag above

the header card

Forgot to look

PRO THUNDER · « **Reply #14 on:** March 15, 2016, 10:45 PM »

Here's a scan of the rear platform ad.

No. I'll have a look in some others I have, but their from a later date. I'll have a look in some BMX Weekly from around the same year, but that will be tomorrow.

Cool, I appreciate that bud

chubby · « **Reply #18 on:** March 15, 2016, 11:03 PM »

Found the same piccy, no need to post it up now. Got more to look through when I remember where they are, did see this & thought of you

Found this ad in BMX Racer + Freestyle Dec 1984.

oldschoolace · « **Reply #20 on:** March 16, 2016, 07:43 PM »

Cheers gents

starting to look like the pegs never made it into production?

I bet Sid would know of he was still about

oldtired · « **Reply #21 on:** March 17, 2016, 05:14 PM »

just out of interest i've had this for years, tbh the only place i think it came from was off a wilson cruiser i have that belonged to a mate of mine bitd , so its circa 84 ish, it fits nice and snug on 1" stem is it a TT flexy do dah.....? $:-\$

oldschoolace · « **Reply #22 on:** March 17, 2016, 05:22 PM »

It certainly looks like one. My guess is someone cut one down to a single decka.
The slot running round the outside should measure just over 3mm wide

The recess on the end should be curved to suit the rubber O ring, yours looks square?

Someone may have refinished it on a lathe?

oldtired · « **Reply #23 on:** March 17, 2016, 06:21 PM »

slot is 3.16 mm or thereabouts ,possibly could have been cut down, unsure if it could have been machined on the recessed end , has always been like that, although it does fit neatly on the lock nut of a headset with a flat machined nut , just one of those bits that's always been in the bottom of the parts box

also doubting weather or not the aforementioned Sid is the "sid straight out the 90's" sid i know, as there were two Sids on here about that time $:-\$ $:-\$

confused me self now
