When you start breaking stuff it costs money, there is nothing for £200 I would recommend for bashing about, maybe a second hand Traxxas Slash or an ECX Torment ?

I would 100% recommend a blow torch to clean the pads and discs, best to do this off the bike.

The outlaw won’t take big jumps, if you have a farm with some decent ruts and fields then I can strongly recommend a LOSI Baja Rey, they are a wicked desert/prerunner truck. about £400 but can take a lick

If you are keen on a BMX then have a browse on Source BMX, they have a great guide:

Feedback sports all day long, so solid so easy to use and folds up small.

Check out RC Pit mats, they are likely to suit.

I had a Dartmoor Shine, they only come in one size and at 6’2″ it always felt like it could be a touch longer but I am used to riding an Airdrop Edit in a large.

That said, I took it over sets of doubles, to Corby/Adrenaline alley and various skate parks.

Shorter bikes spin much faster when backflipping too which is handy.

I flipped my old Saracen Ariel into a foam pit and the spin speed was so slow compared.

I would aim for the longest TT you can, don’t put a long stem on it or it will never work, but you are going to have to relearn what the bike feels like when going to a jump bike.

I was the same as most, replaced smoking with eating, got drunk in 1/4 of the time as I wasn’t smoking in the pub at the time or going out for a smoke. I have kept my foot in the door here and there on nights out or stag doos

This is well worth a watch for bike storage: https://youtu.be/aKaYfLP5oDY

I have the foam tiles on my floor, I would have painted it as well but as most have mentioned if you don’t do it before you move in you never will.

I painted all the walls with masonry paint from screwfix with a masonry roller, took two coats for a solid finish.

I would better plan the bench and power arrangements, I have now installed a 4m bench but I need to add more power both above and below. It seems the garage is going to be slightly domesticated with a freezer and tumble dryer, and now will provide winter storage for the aircon unit too.

I would love an outdoor tap and sink/drain.

I would thoroughly recommend installing 600×600 LED panels 4300 colour tone they are amazing, I have 4 above my bench and will be replacing the rest of the LED batons with them too, no shadows and a nice easy on the eye light.

Defo board the loft if you have one, a hatch will suffice for storing christmas decs etc. that will cut down how much you have to heat should you need to.

Seals around the up and over, I have installed a motor on mine I got it for £15 on ebay, a faff to install by myself but love it as does the wife when she is popping in and out with washing etc.

Sounds like the body has gone out of tolerance

My garage has a similar loft, Mine is 60% boarded but I am going to board the rest and fit hinges/lift out panels to some sections so that I can access when required.

I have the 10mm thick foam tiles on the floor and a brush guard on the door which really help with the temperature.

To the OP, if you are getting the bike stripped to that level, add in Invisi-frame to the list and get that applied before its assembled.

Whats going on under the floor?

They are some proper wide trucks! I would trip myself up on them

Roll on spring when I can skate again

Are they charging a lot for the build? or are you trying to work out if you could do it?

Loco is a great site, very helpful.

I picked up a set of Ventro-pro’s a couple of years ago along with some Sims wheels and thoroughly enjoy getting out for a skate.

Miss my Bauer Turbo’s though, should never have gotten rid.

I’ve used pedal brackets for years, very solid and gets the bars out of headbutt height.

Volunteer to help the community in some way

Love my Dewalt impact and combi.

It’s so much more convenient to be able to drill a hole and screw in a screw without having to swap bits and settings all the time.

Very robust too.

Triggers are easier to handle, most stick controllers need a lanyard.

I can comfortably control my TRX4 with one hand as my thumb can reach the wheel.

All down to preference.

We paid £585 for a single storey 4 x 4 extension, with bi-folds and sky light, steel to hold the house up and opened the lounge door up to a double pocket door.

In Essex

the thule Freeride will sort you out

Thule do clamps that are either side or above and below the down tube, get the one that suits.

you can buy handsets with switches or throttle gain dials.

A DumboRc unit will set you back about £30 and will do that

If you get the one with Gyro it will make it easier to drive at speed too.

Have you vented the tyres on the Big Rock? will help with them not disintegrating when they fill with water.

Trail dog is cool on a back country bimble but any where near any other riders is a big no no.

I fully agree with paying people not to affect others, however it all comes down to the figures on the budget sheet and clients will not support paying sick as they can gamble on the productivity drops.

Arguably the next year will probably be the lowest stats going for non-covid communicable illnesses as so many people will have essentially taken it out of circulation.

I think the reason they aren’t available is due to broadcasting laws.

If you could share TV over your Wifi you can share it via the net, direct.

A quick google suggests that a freeview box with a sender setup would be the simplest, ultimately you need a tuner to send the aerial signal.

I use the interlocking foam type flooring, makes such a difference to the temperature and also less fatigue when standing still for extended periods.

Not great for Grinding things as they tend to melt

I’m still commuting in shorts lol

I rarely ever bother watching 3d footage, get a 9

Impressive driving but was I the only one wishing they’d just pick one angle for each stunt?

Seriously it’s maybe a three minute video, dragged out to almost ten so people can **** off over every move from four different angles…

Have you ever done a stunt on film? They are watching this on repeat barely able to believe they did it. let them overindulge on the angles.

£4.5k bike? spend the money on an invisiframe kit

Annoyingly Galibier are out of stock and no one else sells them

Are they intending to frame mount or stick them in a bag / basket?

There is a review of slim knee pads on Pinkbike today.
