Title: Ripper complete
Post by: pickle on April 24, 2016, 02:48 PM: Thanks to Andy Rooski who sold me his retro frame pad I've now finished my new school Ripper, the retro padset were designed for cruisers so the bar pad was tiny, well had my mum staying with me over the weekend so she made the frame pad a bit smaller for me and it now fits the bars perfectly.

Title: Re: Ripper complete
Post by: griff on April 25, 2016, 01:59 PM: at least you haven't destroyed it with blue camo tyres and a big fook off spongey seat like the ones I see pop up on the SE FB group

I do like tuffs on a Ripper to be fair lads...... :P
Title: Re: Ripper complete
Post by: workshyfop on April 25, 2016, 02:47 PM: i have one of these and have thought about blue tuffs for it...thought the would look rather cool.

main put off though was the fact the brakes work awesome with the spoked wheels.
Title: Re: Ripper complete
Post by: pickle on April 25, 2016, 02:51 PM: They look okay to be fair, but at 17 stone Tuffs aren't that great to ride on for me :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Ripper complete
Post by: pickle on April 25, 2016, 02:56 PM: Here's one with tuffs on which looks okay
Title: Re: Ripper complete
Post by: pickle on April 25, 2016, 02:57 PM: But then it was only one step away from this :shocked: :crazy2:

Title: Re: Ripper complete
Post by: pickle on April 25, 2016, 03:07 PM: Baby blue with the black Tuffs is a classic combo Ant and looks superb :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Ripper complete
Post by: Taipan on April 25, 2016, 03:22 PM: can you not cut the lugs off to fit a caliper brake? more fore looks than stopping power I guess tho? seen it done on the re-released quads?
Title: Re: Ripper complete
Post by: pickle on April 25, 2016, 03:29 PM: Don't see the point, it is what it is......the V brake actually stops you as well :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: Ripper complete
Post by: pickle on April 25, 2016, 03:34 PM: I think the Clarks CNC V brake I fitted looks ACE and takes your spleen out it's so powerful ;D
