BMX cranks don't have spiders

that was what i was trying to say sort of, that pretty much all BMX cranks are left and right hand compatible at the same time.

You can see it's right because the pedal platform is pointing the right way.

Correct but not profile cranks and I am using a spline drive spider so the cranks don’t have to be left hand drive.

Profile are available in lhd.

But, those aren’t Profile cranks. The shape is wrong.

You can use a volume Krull to get a spider if you have splined cranks

The carpenter who works in the unit next door to me just casually came round and asked my advice on how to remove a seized seatpost from his old MTB. Went round and had look to find this under a tarp at the back of his unit...
LOL.

Good Fucking Lord

well no you would need a sprocket bolt hole on the left crankarm if you wanted to run LHD without your pedals unscrewing all the time

Shitttttttt. haha.

"Nah, it's fucked I'm afraid mate, let me take it off your hands"

Thats amazing and just lying under a tarp.

Any news?

It's currently with the police, and they won't release it until they finish their investigation. But they're still asking me to prove it's mine... Which is ridiculous given that I have already detailed every single part on the whole bike, and given them the details of every distinguishing mark that isn't mentioned anywhere in the guys advert, or anywhere else on the whole Internet. And given it was me that reported it stolen in the first place! :)

Red fucking tape is the worst but on the bright side the bike is with the cops and not with someone else claiming that it is/was theirs. Nevertheless some progress is good progress and it sounds that it's just a matter of time till you're reunited with it. I'm genially stocked for you! Have you seen it since it turned up? If I was you I couldn't wait even if it's been lost for a decade.

Is there a Bristol rider on here? Curious who runs a Brooklyn Machine Works. Looks like it's had post-production v-brake mounts brazed onto the fork. A few bling parts but pretty rat.

@swedeee?

trying to remember who has a newcastle sticker...

Correct

Now the whole world knows where @swedeee locks his bike up. If it was mine I wouldn't really like that, just saying. Maybe edit your post?

@tommyg sort it out

that is indeed mine :) I also finished doing my lab work for my phd in september so am rarely in nowadays so dont worry about editing the post

if it was to get stolen it would have done so 1 day of the 3 years its basically been locked there. not too worried

@swedeee ahh cool. I'll miss seeing it!
