[Skyline]

Seeing as there is no meet up tomorrow we are going to another local bmx track instead. Hopefully have a few videos on here tomorrow evening

Hi dave how did ya get on with 3.3kw problem any luck

[dave.a]

No luck yet, motor test fine, so its either controller or ca. Hope to have some time next week. Would help if we had spares stockist in the uk though!

Hi guys, here is a few shots of the new HOOK WORMS. BEWARE they are HELL to get on the rims

I had waaaaaayyy more trouble getting my duro razorbacks off than on, those hookworms must be a bastard.

Hi kiqnkf Took a good 40 mins per rim !!! My hands were stuffed, even with gloves on. I did not want damage the rims ,crush the Kevlar felt or risk a pinch flat so took my time. I have fitted them to about 4 different types of rims before and they have allways been a pain, but the Stealth rims were definatly the hardest yet! I left them in the sun for a wile, i think that helped a little

test drove a stealth fighter in malibu today.....the owner was on a 500 watt beach cruiser and I was on a fighter restricted to about 750 watts....funny thing is he was beating me up a hill????...I realize there may be some slight friction on brakes when new but the owner of bike shop is a foot taller than me and weighs probably a few pounds more so 50% extra wattage I should be at least equal something strange going on.....his bike was a Pedigree I think but not sure its probably 10 pounds lighter than fighter but his weight cancels that...

[Kepler]

That doesn't surprise me. You can only compare the the two if they have the same winding and the same voltage. The Fighter has a motor wind for 35mph at around 50V. This means it needs more power to accelerate then a bike like a beach cruiser which would have a motor wind for 20mph.

Same about the hands... I only did the rear!!!

A little bit of (almost) pressure, and the tube stays out of the way of the pinch of the tyre lever, I found it easiest to use 2 levers. You would hate to get it wrong, I dread having to do it again, not so much for the "doing it again" thing, but mainly for that fact that if I pinch it, then I would have to DO IT AGAIN!!

Rub a bit of talcum powder on the tube, and in the tyre, and it seems to help the tube slip away from the tyre lever, and adds the bonus of still being there for when you have a flat "on the go".

[QMS]

Hey kiqnkf. I was using silicone spray. I think cos they have a steel bead unlike foldable tyres they dont stretch! "Flat on the go" MY WORST NIGHTMARE And do it again MY WORST WORST NIGHTMARE!!

[dave.a]

Crash doesnt look that bad but my foot is now twice the size and i cannot put any weight on it!
My wife told me i must grow up. Yeah right!!

[knoxie]

Awesome skills there Dave, if that bike was lighter you would get some super height for sure!! it was pretty foggy there? been awesome down here super sunny, I went for a super nice ride today although was so looking forward to meeting you all, hope your foot gets better soon mate and your bike for that matter...you might have cleared that Jump with the full 4.5KW

[Hyena]

Nice work Dave, apart from hurting your foot. The upside is you fell very well and washed off most of the speed before you actually hit the deck. You much have mashed your ankle between the ground and the swing arm ? If it's that swollen chances are you've fractured a bone
More importantly, any damage to the bike !?

I too did some very mild jumping yesterday on my fighter but until I edit that vid, here's one of me tearing up an athletics track I came across. No one was using so just HAD to cut a few quick laps

[dave.a]

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words. Im getting good at falling gracefully
No damage to the bike at all, just the bar end plugs did their job well. You can see the take off ramp earlier in the video. Way to steep so it just throws you high in the sky with little forward momentum.
Worst part of my foot is my heel, cant put any weight at all, or bend at the ankle. Im a quick mender though.
Nice video too Hyena, wish we had that weather!

[Gromith]

It looks like a bigger front disc then standard is used in conjunction with Marzocchi fork.

The disc is an option and is a 10" unit. Stopping POWER

Puh! Looks like Gatorbrake Alligator but they do not exist in this size I want this

[Hyena]

Nice video too Hyena, wish we had that weather!

It's rained here literally all summer this yeah, it's been terrible.
This one was one of the first sunny weekends in ages.
And on that note, here's another vid from the day, in the dirt this time

[knoxie]

Yes that was gnarly Jay, I mean it looked properly nasty terrain on the video which must mean it was some rough riding for sure thanks for sharing.
