Looks like it is going to be me and Stu Dixon taking on all the Dagenham bandits.

Bring it on

Braintree Bullets, No.1 BMX club in Essex

Here we go with the excuses stu

defeated already

hooga1975 · « **Reply #29 on:** January 03, 2008, 08:30 PM »

I just heard from Jim on Facebook and he said that he is going to be coming to represent for Braintree.

Stu, I have got a Robinson frame and forks, bars, stem, cranks etc. If you can rustle up some wheels, tyres, seat and post and a seat post clamp we could throw together a bike for you to race on.

All we need now is Flaz to come out of retirement and Sam to race for his home club and Braintree will have it in the bag

billstup · « **Reply #30 on:** January 03, 2008, 08:37 PM »

I wonder if John Stockwell, Craig Schofield and Jamie Vince might turn out for Braintree

spillers#1 · « **Reply #31 on:** January 03, 2008, 08:47 PM »

I've got some wheels stu can use

araya's tires the lot,ready to go.

Bill, I spoke to John at the weekend and he will try and be there,

and as for Braintree having it in the bag Lee, you got more chance of getting a BJ of the pope

dialledbikes · « **Reply #36 on:** January 03, 2008, 11:07 PM »

Stu, you don't need the old school bike for 25+

tommyshearing · « **Reply #37 on:** January 04, 2008, 02:17 AM »

Well I finally sorted my ride out have bulit my bike back up today from the box of bits sent to me from the USA (which has been in my hall way for a couple of months or so!!!).

I am very pleased with it, it's a 82 GT Nora Cup. So I will be starting 2008 as I mean to go on i.e. racing again and I will be racing for the Daggers not just for this event but for the rest of the winter and 2008 summer series, they are my local club.

However I will need a couple of quick favours, can someone help me fit the chain on the bike as I dont have the right tools to adjust the chain to the right length etc, once that done,I'll be ready (I think), seeing as Sunday will be the 1st ever ride on the bike, I can see alot of fettling going on. Also I dont have a proper number plate at the moment (minor issue, I think a cardboard knockup will do for time being, correct me if I'm wrong???)

Finally I had a problem with the bulid in that the spindle on the front wheel isn't shaved, so it doesn't fit into the front forks of the GT ( I'm gonna us a front wheel off my quad, for this race), has anyone had to file down the spindle before as the only things I got to do it with are a pair off monkey grips and a hand file to did it. In short I'll probably fook it up, is any one better equiped to do this for me at home or work?

Thanks Tom

I have a chain tool I will take with me, also I'm sure BAD still have some club No.plates left think they was £7 each with numbers.

Not sure about the problem with the front spindle.

RATTY · « **Reply #39 on:** January 04, 2008, 11:16 AM »

You can gring the axle to fit, or better still try and swap the axles over to suit.
It will be good to have you riding for BAD

If you see Caroline she can sell you a BADBMX plate for around a fiver.

Twatty · « **Reply #40 on:** January 04, 2008, 11:58 AM »

Well seeing as this is where the oposition is going Sunday, id best come along also.
V.Noah, only have 2 of us in my car, where you need a lift from in case I can help..........

Longun · « **Reply #41 on:** January 06, 2008, 02:10 AM »

Hoping to make it along tomorrow. No bike (yet) so I'll have to content myself with taking photos, but looking forward to seeing some racing for the first time in years, and especially looking forward to seeing some nice OS builds.

better than my last effort @ daggers were i rode worse than heather mills on a unicylce

QuadPaul · « **Reply #47 on:** January 06, 2008, 05:18 PM »

hooga1975 · « **Reply #48 on:** January 06, 2008, 05:30 PM »

What a cracking day. You cant beat a spin around Braintree in the mud

Great pics Longun, there are so real crackers there.

So who won the first part of the challenge then? Oh I forgot, it was Braintree

Here are a few pics of some radsters racing from Longun
