Shuv's 2-wheeled antics *SLOG

Getting the 22” BMX ready for some Pump-Track riding. And these are meant to be “The Bomb” in that environment. Literally a Track weapon…..

This involves changing the gearing slightly; and fitting some Linear / Slic brake cables (Slick coated cable and liners) - as the front routed through the stem has a very tight turn in it - and some super soft; clear compound brake pads. That won’t last long, will ‘chirp’ like a budgie on acid - but should grip and ultimately stop like nothing on Earth…..

Adulting sucked s#&t today 🤣

Turns out 22” rubber is like Gold Dust here in the U.K.

So just ordered more S&M Speedballs. This time in a narrower 2.25” wide - compared to the stock 2.4” wide. Along with a few tubes and a new cover for my Helicopter landing pad 👍

Garage mostly re-arranged after selling 9 BMX’s…..and then painting the floor again. Paint is ok to walk on in socks - but with colder temps this Oil-based jobbie does take a few weeks to go rock hard. ***They say cures above 12 degrees C….. so we are right on the limit at the moment. So i daren’t use it in earnest yet. Hence ’ll put the 22” Fit BMX and new entrance floor mat back in next weekend. Checkout all this space I’ve made myself though !!! 😳 👌

I did yesterday manage to replace l/h grip and bar end [From the Stores 🤣] on the Carrera Subway 1 beater: which I managed to mangle slightly a couple of weeks ago. And fit a slightly higher Lumen CatEye light 👍
