Dario's Bike Check
Here's Dario with another bike check from the GBMX crew. Keep 'em commin':

'It's Dario. Jonny told me you wanted some bike checks for the site. Just thought I'd send you mine since it's been recently pimped out, thanks to a certain jolly fat man (me - lol). Anyways, hope you like it. By the way the ramp in the background is my half-finished mini ramp.
Just over four foot and it's flush with the wall. I should be finishing the other side in about a week and its gonna have about four foot of decking on it. The GBMX crew all had a wee sesh of it recently which was off the heezy (good).'

Frame - Solid Bikes Killing Machine 20.25tt (Black). I don't see many people riding Solid parts, which is a shame coz this frame kicks ass.

Forks - Odyssey Dirt forks with brake lugs (white).

Rear Wheel - G-Sport Homer (LHD 13t) laced onto a Hazzard Lite rim with Marwi
spokes.

Front tyre - Primo Dirt Monster.

Rear tyre - Primo V Monster.

Tubes - 2 thorn proofs. People say you can't fix thorn proofs but I have no bother fixing them.

Cranks - Primo Powerbite Cranks with a titanium axle inside (Black).

Sprocket - Animal lite 33t (Black).

Pedals - Odyssey Cielenckis (Black). I love these pedals coz they are dead grippy and the last long. These are my second pair.

Front Brake - Dia-tech Hombre (Black). I put on a front brake coz I wanted to try some new tricks and I thought it would be fun to do stuff on the front wheel instead of the back wheel.

Back Brake - Odyssey Evolver (attempted white, Red underneath). I don't know if it's just me but I don't really like this brake that much. It's a bit spongier than I like.

Levers - Dia-Tech Dirt Harrys (Gold/Silver).

Cables - Odyssey.

Pegs - Animal Lites.

Bar ends - Custom 'God-Save-The-Queen-from-damaging-my-bike' bar ends. It's actually some plastic bar ends with 2p coins over the ends of them. Thought it was cool.

Dario Demarco.
