Seeing as your using it for a ride out, it's forgivable, this time  :LolLolLolLol:
I'm hooked on NS and haven't touched any of my old/Mid school since getting mine, tried out loads of new tricks that i wouldn't have on OS, even hit ramps  :LolLolLolLol: broken a few bits already to :buck2:

Only thing that's not right is the gearing, could do with a larger chainring, so sunday i'll be pedaling a bit more  :D

What is it on atm Matt.. 36/16?

Bru  :daumenhoch:

Worse than that, its 30/16  ;D

Its got the federal chainring on it since I bought it, but may need to go to 39t, but won't get time to do that before the ride, good job we cruise and its no high speed stuff   :LolLolLolLol:

Matt is it a flip-flop hub? If so, wizz the 16t off and buy an oddysey 13t to give you a chance to pedal or if you can't find a 13 drop a 14 on with a 39t ring.

I ran 36/13 on my Badlander for a while until I got 25/9 to fit with a bit of hacking and chopping - feels the same as an o/s 44/16 bud..... ;-)

You can't ride a 30/16 ya loon, you'll be knackered at the first pub!
Still limping......

Flag pole   :LolLolLolLol:

Pull the bars back in line with the forks...  :police:

No point having a new school bike if you're gonna make it ride like an old school

Your gonna get left behind with the gearing  ;D
