BMX Chat / Re: Pump Tracks Anyone?

I’ve only been to two so far (one in Canada and one here in Japan) and they’ve been great fun! Different bikes, different ages, skateboards, scooters, but everyone enjoying themselves. I really wish there was one nearer me, as I’d be a regular.

I went and checked one out in South Manchester a few months ago at Wythenshawe Park. Really enjoyed it. Rode the '82 Floval and my mate was on his '82 Race Inc 24. Had a chat with a few of the lads on 'New School' bikes. Good vibes and all in it for the right reasons.... having fun.

New School Racing / Re: 2024 Race Blog - Year 8 - It's Never Too Late!!

Should be out again this weekend for Round 8 of the KBU series down in Osaka. Recently switched over stems between the Redline and GT, so the bars on the former are now a smidgen higher and further back than before. It may be all in the mind, but I thought I noticed the difference on test rides around my local rice fields, though the acid test will be on track this Sunday. Also with a view to making the Redline ride more to my liking, I'm planning to take a link out of the chain and move the rear wheel further forward in the dropouts, but one thing at a time, so I'll do that next month.

No-one? 

Great for bike skills and fitness, if nothing else.

Well the tyres are half done. Will finish those tomorrow. I also had to file a nut for the pitbull 2 so it can be inverted. Hard to explain, but it will make setting it up far less of a twat.

Should be able to get the Standard finished. Wow. 8 years now......

Covid has wiped me out for a month. Only just starting to feel a bit better ffs.



Round one achieved. Very hot soapy water. Round two is isoprop and a wire brush. I never realised they are 100 PSI folding, so now it makes sense. They smother them in powder and compound to stop them sticking together. It's an asshole to remove  !
