Great build so far!

I'd keep the decals

As the title suggests I'm looking for a rear to match my front, cheap preferably.

also seller must be willing to post to Ireland.

thanks

Watched that video earlier, but even still had trouble. When I put the super sport on the front I used zipties, I would say that it went on slightly easier however that could have just been the differemce in the rims.

Haha I've gotten well used to fat 47c sliding of without anything, completely forgot how frustrating these tight cnuts are. Anyway I'm done for tonight I think. leavers are gone, the last 2 plastic ones I had have bent to the other side, and have become useless so I'll have to pick up more tomorrow.

Thanks for the input guys, much appreciated !

Update: So I kept wrestling it but I was getting nowhere so I thought maybe I should try swap the tires between the wheels as on the front I had a gator skin. So I managed to get the conti on the front with no pinch. Then when I finally put on the gatorskin on the back, I was failed with a pinch, although it sounded very small due to the speed of the deflation and sound, but I still pinched it.

I now realise the problem maybe be more so in the rim rather than the tires? the front rim i have is a Mavic Open 4 cd. and the back is a Rigida SHP 6 or 60, not too sure as the sticker is messed up. Kinda bummed out because I don't have much spare cash for a new wheel, especially a back one as it may be more expensive.

Going insane here.....

So I recently got a new road bike (second hand), and it was so much fun untill I got a puncture. I thought ahh it's grand, be sorted in no time..... no.

I've snapped 5 tire leavers, fixing puncture is not something I'm bad at, at all. But this tire (conti super sport) is being an ultra dick. It's causing me so much stress and frustration.

I've tried every trick known in the book and it just doesn't seem like it wants to get back on the rim without a pinch at least. It's so stiff that I can't even take it off the rim completely to try and strech it. So i'm giving up, I need a new tire anyway as its on its way out.

So my question is can anybody recomend me something decent thats not gonna break the bank. I guess I need a folding bead tire right? I've been looking up on Chain reaction and they have the conti ultra sport, with the folding bead, but is that just the same thing as I already have?

2nd on the rolls please

Bump

post to ireland?

Was trying to work out prices earlier if I was to split, and I'd be after 200 euro for the wheelset, plus shipping

You can pump the tyres to your preference, that's just the recommended for normal cycling as they are city tyres. But even still I remember having resist tyres and they were like 45 psi, and it worked perfectly fine. I'm not that big myself though so it may vary depending on the person

Selling my v Trasher, full thread at http://www.lfgss.com/conversations/257372/#comment11912549

I must admit it looks really good if it has been a few months then, you can't really see the chips at all in the picture.

Selling my beloved trasherIt's been used for a while but is still an absolute beast in terms of quality. Every piece on this bike is made by the best brands in the business in fixed gear and bmx.
Here is the breakdown of the parts, anyone in the market will know these brands and the quality of them.

Frame - medium volume trasher in gold flake
Fork- ns rns2
Wheelset- velocity chukkers, rear is built on a sadio spark female hub, super strong and can take pegs.
Profile splined sprocket
Demolition cranks
Sadio hot bars
Éclat sean burns stem
Shadow conspiracy seat
Psg seatpost.
Salt slim half link chain

The bike has scuffs and scratches but that's all cosmetic due to the nature of the bike. I'm open to reasonable offers.

I'm selling due to not really having much time for this bike anymore, I will regret it however I do need the money. I'm sorry for the quality of the photos, and the bike does need a clean as I haven't used it since the end of summer. Will give it a full clean when I have the time and get more photos up.

Price I'll start at £425 including shipping from ireland.

might take the bars and tape of your hands if somebody else doesn't snap them up before I have money. you willing to post to Ireland?

Thats nice phil! is that just over a gloss black?

the problem is not the finish, it's what happens after when the shit chips way to easily, also depends on what brand rattlers you use. I've tried this a few times before and at first it looks good, but a week down the line and the paintjob gets pretty wrecked.

Been lurking here quite a few years, decide to finally join and I guess I'll start of here with my first post. Been riding fixed, mainly fixed gear freestyle since about 2009, but it's getting old for me and i'm to busy to be out tricking these days so just picked up myself a new roadie. In the process of selling my fgfs bike which will most likely fund a new track bike build, however time will tell.

this is my trasher

and this is my newly aquired concorde

That photo is just after I bought it, i'm in dire need of a new stem , and to re-do the cockpit all together really. But pretty broke at the moment so will have to wait when funds allow.
