Help from you people in the know
« on: April 21, 2007, 09:41 AM »
Hello there. Just starting my first build from scratch on an Aero Reflex. I had to get one of these as i love the shape and the price was good as you'll most probably know. So, i've got the frame and forks, i've ordered a couple of pairs of tuff 2's from Ginny's (thought i may aswell get a an extra pair while i was at it instead of ordering again a few months down the line). The bits i'm not too sure about are the bottom bracket, which needs to be chrome or shiny metal (to fit a 1 piece crank - advice also please) and a headset to be chrome too. As soon as i've got these bits sorted i can sort out a stem and bars and the rest of it (i've already sorted a brake set and tyres). So what i'm basically asking for is advice on which ones to look at (bottom bracket and headset). I thank you in advance for any help. Much appreciated :)

If you've got any mint type stuff you think i might want to but from you, let me know. Cheeers :daumenhoch:

Hi Baz, ok for bottom bracket and headset, this is what I used for my Reflex as this was my first build as well:

Headset:

BB:
http://www.alansbmx.com/product_info.php?cPath=116_121&products_id=2293

Have a think about getting a headlock to tighten things up: http://www.alansbmx.com/product_info.php?cPath=116_122&products_id=1125

Hope this helps and good luck with the build :daumenhoch:

Paul :)

DO NOT BUY A CRANK FROM HALFORDS!!!!!!!!!!

Them DB ones look shite on OS bikes

Spend some dough and get a Tioga Task Force or Sugino or something

Ask in wanted, there are loads of nice OS ones used for pence!
