  1. You are not having a good time riding that, in those conditions, wearing any of that gear.
  2. It's so funny, but I had a think (doesn't happen often) and loosened the brake pads, added a temporary zip tie between the rim and pad, and then tightened it down. As you said, toed them in. Boom, no squeak. I put the zip tie at the top so that the bottom of the pad would hit the rim first. I doubt it makes a difference at which part hits the rim first?
  3. Both, mostly drooling, though! She came out fantastic and rides like a dream. Joe, and Mike—who built the frame—love it. But seriously, it's been fun, just bunnyhopping over everything. I got crankflips back, so pedals to the shins are imminent. The only problem I have right now is the brakes; they squeal embarrassingly loud. I bombed a few hills and gradually applied pressure, but there was no change. Can't tell if there is a coating on the pads or the rims or both.
  4. Speaking of "Pitchforks," @Double 0 Soul, Reddit or BMXMuseum...
  5. Did you agitate them @DC2020 at all? I think, if you need, you could get a little more shrinkage. I would expect another 1" or so in the inseam and waist. How's that patch looking?
  6. He said he was only posting 31-33 so nothing for us bigger boys...fun to see what's going up, though. Jealous of anyone picking up some Ducks.
  7. Happens to me on Samurai, Flat Head, Self Edge, and a few other threads as well. Always takes me to the second to last page, and if someone gives me rep, it takes me to random pages, sometimes I haven't even posted on that page.
  8. That's crazy B_F! Don't think I have ever seen knee and leg openings shrink a full inch before.
  9. Because I love indigo so much, I had to talk myself out of monotone colors for the new BMX. So blue it is.
  10. They will stretch out with some wear. I found the thighs, particularly the knees, a little tight but have since stretched out.
  11. You got me on Insta @youngofthesoonest, just posted a day 5 😎 Wasn't sure how these would fade as nothing to base it off, however, the seat and knees are starting to show some very slight fading already. The fit gets better each day.

  13. Hell yeah B_F, let's make Sufu proud! 🫡
  14. They soaked and dried yet @vIGGiou riou?
  15. Today, IIY4 starts, so it's a new jean day for me.
  16. Ahh yes, George, I remember (used to buy RideUK as well) when he came out with the first female hubs, you just had to buy the bolts, no axles. And then everyone came out with them, you know who the company was that did the C&D? Glad Odyssey got him onboard too, probably takes care of the legal. It's crazy but parts are still hard to come buy, have bought from over 10 different sites to get everything I wanted. Picked up the last piece of the puzzle last night (Profile 19mm mid bottom bracket). Will be worth it though.
  17. You're telling me! Pitchforks, Profile race cranks and Elite hubs with GSPORT rims on the way. I actually got the hubs in blue...because indigo. Build is gonna look ace. Oh damn, Sun-Ringle or did Sun but them? No thoughts on Loveland but I bet they make nice benches there.
  18. It looks like I AM building up this T1 Barcode... Cc: @Double 0 Soul
  19. You should join the Indigo Invitational @Jambon, starts in a couple of days...
