Describe your personal bike setup.
My personal bike set up is kind of like a basket ball.I like everything as tight as it can be. Sounds weird but I love the noise when you bounce it and nothing makes a sound at all. Sounds solid! I have two pegs on the right, a slammed seat, my bars are a wee bit forward and I ride 80 psi in the tires so she’s nice and fast!

Describe the contents of your personal bike tool bag.
I don’t have a tool bag I just use everyone else’s tools haha.

What part do you wear through the quickest?
Erm not sure maybe spokes?

What part do you break most often?
Spokes again maybe? Or bar ends.

Do you patch flat tyres or get new tubes?
New tubes – jibb aff fixing them! (Translation – “Can’t be bothered”)

Which parts are you paranoid about breaking?
Has to be the chain! There is nothing worse than pedaling full speed and then snap, you’re over the bars.

Where do your parts go when you’re done with them?
All my parts are in my room just now, I think I have about 10 rideable frames in there haha.

Who builds your wheels? anything special about them?
Ricky Ratt at the Source BMX Shop built them for me.Nothing too special about them really. But every set I get off them. They are always solid never need to tighten the spokes.Thanks big man!

Cassette or freecoaster?
Cassette – never had a freecoaster but I think it would be one of those things that are fun for like a day then you would be over it! Looks fun though.

Kevlar bead or regular bead?
Kevlar beaded, don’t have a clue why really haha.I just ride them I don’t think there is any difference really.

Plastic pedals or metal?
Plastics cause I can’t handle shinners with metal ones! They dont last too long though.But they are cheap enough.

Plastic pegs or metal?
Metal! Plastic pegs are rubbish! A few of my mates have them and the plastic shell always seems to snap or only last a few grinds.I would never run them.
