Yeah, that was me. Pinched it from @privatepatterson just to see what this cabron fibre is about :)

Spotted @Elra In Brixton track standing like a boss just a moment ago. Was to far to shout DAS. On that note, hi :)

Yes! Come on Sunday! The more the merrier. :)

"...nigga"

Nice beaters! I bet they ride good.

@bmxed the straight bar is fresh!

Turned out great bro! Need to go for a ride soon!
Let me know about the picture situation , I might be able to help ;)

@countryboj Thank you. I feel what you're saying, however this is my only bike hence the omniums. I don't get on with square taper well. I would consider the Sugino 75 DD, but that price doe...

Thanks bros! I couldn't be happier with the build. Feels incredible to ride except the mad toe overlap, but that's not a big problem.

@HHC I was really of two minds about doing a full wrap on these bars, but am I glad that I did? Not only it looks sick, it's very comfy too!

Hey, I can proudly say that I have finally got my NJS bike sorted. Thanks to @privatepatterson for helping me source many components. Still not 100% but definitely rideable and presentable. Here she is:

SRAM means "I shit" in Polish language. It reflects the quality of their chains well.

KMC, Wipperman or Izumi are what I would run.

Right. Regarding the creak I would take the pedals and crank arms off, take the BB out. Once you have it out, I would clean the threads in the frame, re-grease the threads. Afterwards I would take the BB and clean with a rug (no WD40 or any other solvent shit or water etc). Lightly grease the bb and reinstall. Put a dab of grease on the square taper (again, not too much) and install crank arms. Next, lightly grease the crank bolts and install to recommended torque (in other words, give it beans). Last but not least grease the pedal threads and reinstall the pedals paying attention to which one is which.

Since you would have all the bits off and most likely clean, I would bin the silly chain and put on a new real chain.

To answer your second question, the flex is quite normal on many frames with square taper bb. Having a through spindle such as the one on SRAM omnium helps to alleviate the flex.

Last but not least, if you don't feel like doing it yourself, my boy Harvey at Cycle PS Camberwell will be able to help you.

Peace

BMX dudes need it to have their wheels slammed. Have you seen how short their drop outs can be?

The half link chains generally don't last as long and are more susceptible to snapping.

@luisbg Fuck yeah! The Notorious banter just got B.I.G :D

"Cause G-E-D, wasn't B-I-G
I got P-A-I-D, that's why my mom's hate me"

You always have something special going on! I'm looking forward to seeing this in person.

Dang, sucks about the bars!!! We'll get you the new set ASAP! What crankset are you putting on it? Did you say you have some omniums?

Looks like the Brother has found a good home. :) Very interested to see what parts are going on it. Have fun with the build!

@luisbg haha, yeah, one lucky guy ;) heard you have some wheels coming soon...

Good sale. Got the cockpit and all is great. Thanks bro!

True, but that negates the benefits of having bb30. Nonetheless you're right, it can be done.

...obviously you will need the bb30 version of the compact crankset, otherwise it won't fit.

Hi @apc. The swap should be very easy. You will need a 8mm Allen key to undo the bolt on the drive side. It's a self extracting system therefore the crank will come off on its own without the need of a crank puller. Once that's off you pull out the spindle and non-drive side crank arm. Lightly grease the new spindle on your compact crankset and reinstall all the washers and parts the way they came off the bike. Tighten to a recommended torque.

Last but not least you might need to lower and readjust the front derailleur to accommodate for a smaller chainring on the front.

Cheers.

SOLD!

Will swap Black SRAM Omnium 165mm crankset for a Silver 165mm Omnium.

Extra pictures!

Sick! Might get it soon money permit.

PM sent.

@Scilly.Suffolk +1 . That black and gold...

The shimano bb spindle is 24mm in diameter throughout whilst SRAM tapers from 24mm drive side to 22mm non drive side. Whilst in theory you could try and shim the non drive side, I'd recomend getting a third party bb from someone like Hope or Chris King and avoid Potential damage to your omniums.
