Hi all,
I'm thinking of changing my faction zeitgeist to an amero.
Has any one else done this?
My biggest concern is the TT length.
Specs say the TT is 21.5 but my Zeigeist was supposed to be 21.6. When I measured it it was 21.
It probably won't stop me getting it though
Are "normal bike helmets" any good for riding bmx?
By this I mean the sort of bike helmets that mountain bikers / riders wear.
They are much lighter and have more ventilation. Also given that they are designed to take high speed impacts on roads mountains would they be any good when riding a...
Yep. Both side walls split wide open.
I only use a hand pump as well. Pump is brand new.
All very odd.
I used Specialized inner tubes.
Now switched to different inner tubes and DMR tires.
Hello all.
I recently installed same Odyssey P lites on my Sunday Model C.
Rode them for about a wek, them last night was woken by a huge bang I thought was a gun shot, only to fond both tyres had exploded!!!
Now have installed DMR motos that only go up to 65 psi.
No problems so far.
Anyone...
Hey Oldtricks, I was thinking the same myself!
One bike that keeps catching my attention is the Sunday Scout. Nice geo for us older guys. OK it's supposed to be designed for trails but seriously for us old guys it reminds me of my old BMX :))
I know. Weird huh?
I bought a Premium spindle drive set of cranks assuming they would slot right in.
When I took out the factory fitted cranks the spindle of the premium cranks were really loose. So I measured the spindle on the stock cranks and it was 20mm. They have a quite old 8 spline...
Damn it, as I get older I keep forgetting things.
What is the BB on the faction Zeitgeist?
I'm sure it is a Spanish BB.
I need to know because I want a new crank!
With you on the Albion Oldtricks. I loved it so much I bought a subscription.
The writer Jeff Stewart is superb. His articles on the history of bmx and the latest one on Haro; superb.
By the way. What are the measurements of your Factions?
My TT from centre seat tube to centre head tube is 21". For me I think it needs to be more like 21.5".
Then the bb needs to be 12".
What do you reckon?
Don't get me wrong I own a Faction and love it. It will stay with me for life now as I think it is now much like a collectors item.
Sadly in today's competitive world I think if S&M come then that will be it. We have been waiting for the Amero for nearly 2 years now which for me is too long.
As...
Well it looks to me that if S&M do go ahead with this and the guys at Faction don't get their act together then Faction could be in trouble. Or is there room for more than one?
It just seems faction are taking too long to me.
