@MIGHTYMAN geeeeez! That thing is quick! Want one. You sure its the gearing and not a restriction on the speed limit?

[Calum]

Savage haha

[Mightyman]

@dtluke Yeah it's definitely the gearing. Previous owner changed the 13-40 for 13-46 and he said it lost 10mph. I was hoping to stick on 15-38 or something similar but found out earlier a 15 tooth front is way too big

[NINJA]

@MIGHTYMAN WOW!!! 4.64 seconds, how does that compare to your DT???

[Darty]

@CYBER-NINJA it takes me about 7 seconds or so to get to 60 on the DT

Finally ordered a set of off road wheels for it yesterday. Had to shell out a very unfriendly price of £700 with tyres.. Madness! But you just can't get the Freeride series wheels in used condition yet. They are a very odd combination of hubs similar to the tiny KTM 85 bikes (20mm rear spindle), laced onto normal sized rims. Only SM Pro or genuine KTM parts are available. So I went for SM Pro Platinum orange hubs and nipples, with stainless spokes and black rims. Should look nice!

[dtluke]

@MIGHTYMA should look incredible considering the wheels cost more than my entire bike

[Calum]

Dude you are savage.

What do you do for a living, and can i do it lmao. That was a joke btw.

Mate it's an investment, you only live once so go out and enjoy it. Oncr you are finished I am sure you wilk have no problems selling those itens.

Throw some photos uo asap though. Sounds lush

@MIGHTYMAN KTM black and orange - how can you go wrong???

[Mightyman]

Funnily enough Calum, you are probably more qualified to be doing my job than I am aha! Currently an apprentice software developer working mainly with web based apps. Crap money at the mo, but I just don't spend it on anything else. When I move out, I'll probably have to sell the lot.. So best make the most of it!!

[Calum]

@MIGHTYMAN Yeah fair play mate.

Sounds like you have got the right attitude.

[Calum]

@CYBER-NINJA He didn't say that now did he. Just said no crap.

[Mightyman]

@CYBER-NINJA Two stroke is my drug and live with the gf

[NINJA]

@MIGHTYMAN 2T FTW then, is the misses a 2T junkie as well???

[Mightyman]

@CYBER-NINJA Sadly not... Although we had a go on segways the other day and she enjoyed it! So maybe after a couple of years of convincing she might try out the Freeride

[Mightyman]

So I ordered the wheels from SMPro on eBay and paid an additional £15 for them to include and fit rim tape and rim locks, so all that was needed was for me to fit the tyres. The wheels and tyres arrived today..

@MIGHTYMAN they are stunning!

[NINJA]

@MIGHTYMAN Gorgeous wheels dude, I'm soooooooo jealous! Shame that they screwed up the order, but a 3 day delivery is awesome. And your skills are improving dude, keep it up. But I feel that your going about it all wrong and seriously think that you should give this a try;
