Hey Zane, keen for a ride?
hey damo,
holy shit! they look sick!!!
I think i'd be keen
Can anyone help me out with flairs? I have backflips down pat, but I want to know how the best way to learn them is? Did anyone use a pit to learn them? Or just try straight on a ramp. Any tips on how and when to rotate?
I just tried straight to a ramp
And pretty much just watch that Scotty Cranmer how to video
I got it third try, but the crashes were hardly bad, i just slid out

I was moments away from buying some Plegs last night from strictly but after a bit of research read this -

"Note: Will not work with 14mm axle nuts that use a 19mm socket."

I use a 19mm socket on my back wheel. Is is possible to get a 14mm axle nut that fits a smaller diameter socket? Or is there anyway to get around this? Im super keen on plegs because they're cheap and my first pair of pegs so i highly doubt in all my sketchiness that i'll be shredding them apart.

Help? :eek:

Get a set of metal pegs and you will be set !
you can buy 17mm nuts that will fit your rear hub and allow the socket to fit.

I just ordered a new rear hub,rims,spokes and a sprocket
pretty happy with all of this besides having to change gear ratio as its hard to come across an 11tooth coaster these days :(
how is 25-9 anyways?
I brought a new khe acb coaster for a pretty decent price so hopefully that lasts as long as my geisha has.

anyone need a black 30tooth tree original sprocket?

Sydney trip was great.
rode alot of spots, and met up with some great people.
Sydney really is an absolute mecca for street, I dont think the people of Sydney realise how good they have it when it comes to spots.
Went to Geelong on THursday and rode a secret secret drain spot. big 20minute trek in there and an even longer trek out due to the steep terrain.
The waterfront plaza gets better everytime i visit also.

Cheers. Just the plegs were on sale for $15 at strictly. Hmmm do you/anyone else happen to know what shipping costs of two pegs would approximately be from danscomp?

I assumed they'd tell me shipping cost after i registered but i got to the payment page and thought bugger this.

EDIT: Ok i found the 'shipping rates' table'. But i've got no idea which price applies to me?

Minimum shipping cost is usually $40US.

If all you want to buy is a set of pegs, buy locally.

Note taken. $40 is a little bit steep considering that will be more than my purchase price. Wellp off to ring some shops!

Thank you :)

I got some not long ago, and all i had to do was get some smaller wheel nuts because my socket wouldnt fit through the peg, so i got smaller nuts :)

Ya get me?

EDIT: that makes like no sense once re-reading it.

I can pick a few obvious parts but its going to be a guessing game of people throwing answers out for things like bars, forks,frame, grips and rims haha.

What i can make out are
cranks-power bites
pedals- clear pc's,
animal? rear tyre
primo dirt monster on the front?
the old animal sprocket
and a kmc sl chain

EDIT: front tyre maybe a duo?

EDIT:EDIT: seat a railed primo?
