Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 Good job - I should have used enamel. FAIL Now I have to re-strip the frame. Then decisions decisions: brush, polish or paint????? I chose paint specifically because of the durability of the finish. Protects the frame as well. And, you can get so many awesome colours now! As long as your clearcoat is the enamel and you have good surface prep & primer, you shouldn't have a problem with the chipping.
(Deon) Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 and you have a good enough action (back & forth, just like with a gun) then it's cool. ER HUH, now look who's talking! With a gun?! DUDE!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 ER HUH, now look who's talking! With a gun?! DUDE! Spraygun, dude... And I don't talk. I act. Whilst talking. Double ent(ry)endres are my forte...
(Deon) Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I'm going to act like I understood that.. Seeing your parts (NO, STOP RIGHT THERE) on the bed (I'm serious) made me envious.. OK I give up! I bought some brakes today out of jealousy!
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 In all their glory... exposed for everyone to see... hoses and chains exposed...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 I bought some brakes today out of jealousy! OOH! What kind, ekse?
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 Codes? Morse. That's a code...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 So, Cap - pinstriping / accent colours on the cranks. Yea or Nay?
(Deon) Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 no codes.. - could not wait for CRC shipping, so got some elixir R's - and they should be here later. I thought what the heck, anything is better than the crap I got now and as it happens, the R's are pretty good.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted September 1, 2011 Author Posted September 1, 2011 SO are the 5's. Especially seeing as the only difference is the tool-free reach adjust!
patches Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 I've already decided I need new brakes too. My Formula Oro Puros are dying. So... I'm waiting for CRC to get stock of these bad boys http://www.mountain-trax.com/images/mountain/HOPE-tech-x-ltd-ed-2011-blk-main.jpgIt's for my 4X/jump bike, so the X2 (caliper on the left) would be plenty.
(Deon) Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 4 pot heaven. The Saints were looking attractive too, but for bling.. Hope!
Capricorn Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 those are sick patches. That green ano is really good looking
