Your bike thread

[Matt Money]

i guess you never sold those pedals
pretty nice though

 

[Steezeman]

There are just a few too many colors going on, and of course you know what I think of the platform pedals.

 

[Sshields32]

yeah man. those pedals are like. what? and a different color seat would be tight.


but its mad nice anyway.

 

[Hep Greg]

i dont like it . take the stikcer off or some thing rims flat flack and you ll be shining

cant take the stickers off without rawing the frame. its clearcoated over the stickers. im not done building it yet, im getting new bars and the grips/barends are temporary.

and im building it up for freestyle riding, so thats why i have animal pedals... im gonna make clips/straps for them soon. and im not changing the color of the seat, i love that seat.

 

[Steezeman]

Good thing about the pedals, Greg. Also, good thing I (Mash) influenced you to skid, that's like the basis of freestyle.

Look at those damn pedals.

haha yeah. i cant wait till my bikes all done. wtf kinda pedals are those?

 

[Steezeman]

Flypaper pedals, they're like 2.7mm thick or something like that. I just saw 'em yesterday in Decline, this mountain bike magazine. They make you more balanced since is closer to the center or whatever, and the bearings spin faster and last longer, and obviously they're light.

 

[Hep Greg]

those are pretty sweet. i dont think i'd ride them tho... the spindle doesn't go through the whole pedal..

 

[tryit]

yeah they look a bit dodgy

 

[)bradhouston(]

they look rad

Those flypaper pedals are so sweet.
Mad expensive, because you have to get cranks that allow you to use the pedals. its a stupid idea. and they are way to expensive to be worth it.

 

[Steezeman]

Well they're for like, DH dudes who spend hella dollars anyway so they don't care.

i had a dream last night that i rode a fixie and crashed

and i dont really get what they are really, can you not spin the pedals backwards like on a bmx bike?

 

[Hep Greg]

you cant coast... if you pedal fowards you go fowards. if you pedal backwards, you go backwards. not cassette or freewheel, just a cog that is locked in one spot on the hub.

 

[Steezeman]

As Greg said, it's direct drive so the pedals move in direct correlation to the way the back wheel is moving.

 

[yamamsmells]

sounds fun.

 

[Tristan Mathews]

UUUUUUUh sorry to people who ride fixed gears but i cannot stand them. I can't beleive FBM are making them now lol.

 

[Hep Greg]

FBM, Volume, and Subrosa all make Fixed gear frames.

FBM has the Sword, Volume has the Cutter, and idk the name of the Subrosa fixie, but i saw it on the interbike highlights.
