    Describe your personal bike setup: Everything nice and tight! Hard tires, low seat… Noise free!
     
    Describe the contents of your personal bike tool bag:
    I had the best tool bag going! I spent a little while gathering all the bits needed for myself and others if there was a breakdown… Unfortunately I left it in someone’s van by accident and I haven’t seen it yet? Right now I have an adjustable spanner, shitty allen keys and some pliers.
     
    What part do you wear through the quickest?
    Tyres and tubes…
     
    What part do you break most often?
    Chains…
     
    Do you patch flat tires or get new tubes?
    Well I used to just run new tubes, but the only place in my town that sells BMX tubes these days is Halfords and they charge £4.99 which is savage… Whatever is available really?!
     
    Which parts are you paranoid about breaking?
    Forks and bars!
     
    Where do your parts go when you’re done with them?
    My mates or the bin…
     
    Who builds your wheels? Anything special about them?
    Ben down at IMG built my last set of wheels and he’s done a pretty good job! Nothing too special…
