So this morning I dropped my son off at his mum’s (technically he dropped himself off as he drove 🙂 ) I then headed to the track with the DMR Sect and had a play for an hour!
The bike felt really good apart from the 175 mm cranks which hurt my knee and the gearing felt hard too. Oh and I kept stitting on the seat/ back wheel when I did manuals as the seat is really high compared to the Race BMX’s I ride!
It was only a quick session as I have to head back and pick my son up and he is driving us to Weymouth to meet up with my family to go out for a meal with my Mum which will be a nice big driving practice for my son and a nice day out 🙂
When I got home I ordered a new bb for the DMR from Crucial BMX so that I can stick some 170 mm cranks on there for now so that I stop messing my knee up. I have some Shimano Saint 170mm in the parts box so they will do nicely! I also have a 16t sprocket already on a driver too so I will just need to stick a new chain on which I have in the parts box too 🙂 I will run a 32×16 which is as close to a 36×16 on the 24″ that I can get I think. When my new forks arrive I will get the Black Market built up and stick a 36×16 gearing on it too then It will feel the same as my race bike to pedal other that the slightly shorter cranks and the bouncy forks and fat tyres and of course the fat its 10x heavier than a race bike 🙂
