Kieran's bike, whatever it is 8/10 actually dig the white wheel tan wall combo. you should take it to the max and get some white/Tan aitkens haha

The Lacey, 9/10 looks sweet as f*ck, matching tyres would properly set it off though.

Urb's bike - never really been feeling the green rims, but I know you don't really GAF about rates and opinions so keep going with it anumber/10 specs are pretty dope though I'd say a solid 8 on specs

Lacey...8/10, matching tires...9/10

Urb...I've actually always liked the green rims, a little color and it's not common at all. 8/10, sorry just don't care for the seat...10/10 for specs though.

I wish ANML would do 2.4 wide tyres. A TWW in 2.4 would be amazing, I love mines in 2.0 but the only thing is bigger tyres somehow feel better, I do a lot of kickouts and stuff and bigger tyres feel better for doing them.

Ah sweet, yeah my local halfords staff are the most incompetent people i've ever had the misfortune to converse with.
Yeah half the staff at my local shop seems like they've never worked on anything other than speed bikes you ask them a question about a bmx part takes them almost a week to get back to you with an answer


Dont even get me started... the local staff at arrowsmith bikes cant even fully press in a bottom bracket, and last time I asked for a new spindle for my cranks the mechanic said that "at that point you may as well just buy a whole new bike". Which to me is ridiculous unless all you guys replace your whole bikes instead of a single part...
not to start shit or anything, but:
-You have a pre-2011 cromo P-series
-your cranks are a 2-piece design which are no longer manufactured.
-A new decent BMX crankset will cost you around $200-$250 plus BB and installation (yours is neither the 19mm nor 22mm standards). This brings the total for your spindle replacement to as much as $350.
-The current resale value of your bike is $350 or less.

Thus the mechanics advice isn't actually unsound.
