Eww @ high brake. If it will be lower, i would even like it. :D Hot scoot x3. Looks generally as clean as mine at the beginning. But eventually, you'll face the same problems as i have had. Although i've heard about ovalized headtubes on BMXs, DH, FR and on mountain bikes. I had never thought that would happen to me.
:(

oo yaa dude the cup moves around inside lol wtf

wtf? Then it's a weird headset you're running. I had to hammer them in and they stayed pretty nicely. I have had to install headsets only two times: 1) when i got my bullet; 2) after i got my bullet from the workshop where it was welded. What happened to your Pig? Wore out?

Yo Madis

When i put my fsa cups into my Micro headtube you could jsut push them in and spin them around ....The Metal they use for it is shit bascally lol.
I ended up using some Epoxy resin (Metal glue) and jsut glueing the cups in.

I wuddnt put tape around the cups and put them in i tryed this and it lasted all of 5mins.

And Ryan..Eric cuts the brakes down for some reason ..I asked him once and he said to stop noise ?

But Micro brakes are the biggest pile of shite ever.

Try putting a Razor brake on soon as stan :)

Razor brakes aren't fit for bullets. Bullets have a bigger space in the back of the deck, so when the spring is all the way up, then the brake is still loose betweent eh spring's leg and the deck's edge.
I guess they fit on Sprites then.

Same to nixon, i'm like "wtf" while reading it. For sure, i had to beat out the old headset cups which came with no headset itself when i got the package with Bullet deck inside, and i had to hammer the sealed FSA PIG DH Pros in the headtube twice. But now the headtube is just fucked up and ovalized. I might do some pictures tomorrow of it's profile and draw a line on the picture.

Yea the headtube is made outta the same stuff as the Deck ...And if the deck aint reinforced it just bends...

So i guess its the same with the headtube just bends with strees :(

+ I thought bullets and Sprites were pritty much the same but the Bullet was a tad bigger ?

Ill take some pics of my brake on my sprite when I get a cam
