The only tyres you need ever.

Ty, any advantage of the tan walls? What about nomads? Twin rails?

Tan walls look rad.
But tear easier.

I'm 5ft4, what would be a good frame size to start off with? help would be appreciated :)

Any reviews on Alex Rims? Are they light and strong enough? Anyone? Newbie here

bottom of my headset is broke on pfix, want something cheap but iv never had to deal with a headset before; my local shop will charge bare benjamins

I think they are just integrated headsets, should just be a case of stripping it and chucking new bearings in (45/45 campy spec) and putting it back together the the same way.

Yeah, normally only a 10er each. I have got 1 bearing with a blue animal bmx top cover and spacers... Yours for 10 bucks posted

I have a fixie freestyler with thin tires,if i want thicker tires will i need new wheels aswell?????

"I have got 1 bearing with a blue animal bmx top cover and spacers."
still got that mark?

GROUPPROJECT
Anybody(ies)(overtime) got bunches or singles of parts that would eventually make it to a full build?
looked for specialized p.fix, but out of stock everywhere.
(or are they discontinued after the first quarter of the year?)
also had a peruse of the rest of big brands like volume etc and their sites are like arch. firm websites, just links to stockists etc...
Any help/offers would be great.

or links to ones spotted or if youre selling and im just too lazy to have a full browse, not in civilisation at the moment and only get internet in 20 mins at a time with a queue.

pmd you bud

thanks swedee, likewise, could others pm than clog the thread, thanks.

Building a FGFS bike but want info on gear ratios. Want the bike versatile enough to pull tricks but also suitable for general riding. I am hopeless with ratios so any advice welcome.

36x13 should do you.

If you don't ride, 53/14 then you're a pussy.

Alternatively there is a whole thread dedicated to bitching about this whole thing, just aim for 70ish GI and adjust from there if you can be bothered.
