with the bmx style front breaks you can swap over the adjuster and put it in place of the pinch bolt and the pinch bolt in place of the adjuster this will give you the upward cable routing you need if you want to run a front break. As said in a previous post the hard bit will be finding a break with the correct drop.We are building a scissor for a customer at the moment and he has requested a front break so when we do i will post what break we have used.

/attachments/20951arrived today, built and ridden this evening, took all the parts of my volume cutter the scissor feels much more sure footed, only gone for 32s on the tyres as anything wider will roll of my b43s, am looking to sell these and get chuckers, otherwise im loving it managed a triple barspin with ease as minimal overlap, keo spun fairly easily although a little more sticky to spin due to the wider tyres, in the half hour i have ridden it i just wanted to rag it around, its got that playfull feel to it, yeahhhh

They are Onza trials forks but yeah, i drilled and filed them a bit.
When im getting a bigger tyre for the back il replace the front with a bigger one too and it should fill up the fork a bit better.I have a med scissor frame on order with scissor forks and the forks came in today . Just can't wait for the frame much longer ! Argh !

Anyone who says close their windows and lock their doors at me, equals a no.... I ain't into fixed wankola, I am about riding my bike over the terrain ... fuck everything else. If you wish to go for a ride give me a PM, if you wanna prove your fixie hardness you can forget it..... the hills will kill you before I will.
Anyway if anyone wishes a ride tomorrow with us we are riding about 3 once the heat is more or less gone, I will check my PMs about 11-12, we will be riding to blandford the long way on SS/Fixed. Would be good to show some other people the nice country side that way.
Chill ! Fuck me looks like u took that comment a bit personal, Bournemouth fixed gear bumped into these guys whilst they were down and there was certainly no proving of fixie hardness as u call it. Just a bunch of guys out for a ride.

Even though the weather was shocking 11 of us braved it and attended cog nite 5 in bournemouth, i managed to get to town for 7 when within 5 mins it pissed it down and turned the square into a sloppy ice rink, which made for some good times the rain carried on so it was off to asda carpark for tricks and lager, the rain cleared so we went for a mad burn round bournemouth town ripping it up as usual, then into oneills for a few and then into the multi story for some more trickage and trolley activity, then into the square ( more tricks ) then home by 11 so this was a fairly early night for a change coz of the monsoons and only half of us turned up but still a banging night! seems to be every cog nite wozza and myself arrange we get new riders and the nights get better and better. mark...

amazing !
my holdfast straps turned up yesterday and were fitted within a few secs, these are by far the best straps i have used, they feel real secure and you feel real attached to the bike and still able to remove your foot when need to, i have tried metal toe clips and straps which scuff when riding bw circles, powergrips ( shitty hardwear ) but work well, and my former favorite which were homemade feetbelts which worked really well, but these are awsome. Ordered via holdfastordie and turned up within 5 days well chuffed... -

Ha! Sorry for the funny look! I could have sworn I heard "do a skid" and I obviously did!
