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!!
@MIGHTYMAN Yeah fair play mate.
Sounds like you have got the right attitude.

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..

@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

My girlfriends face drops every time I mention the bike, she's hated them even more since I broke my femur on my MZ a few years back, don't think I'll ever persuade her into them but I'll keep trying -

@CYBER-NINJA SMPro on eBay said they would only SUPPLY the rim locks for some stupid reason. Another reason why I was annoyed about the bits being delivered late.
-
@MIGHTYMAN Lame ass laziness more like! What do the rim locks actually do anyways???
@CYBER-NINJA They squeeze the tyre beads against the rim. The idea being that it prevents the tyre from slipping on the rim from hard acceleration. If the tyre slips, it will likely take the inner tube with it and therefore rip the valve out of place, leaving you with a very flat tyre! I don't think I have seen a motocross bike without them installed. Although you only really need one on the rear wheel, I opted to stick one on the front as well for things like stoppies. Some people go as far as to have more than one on the rear, but I didn't feel it was really necessary. It's one of those things that is worth having, JUST IN CASE!

Not much happening on here in the last week... So I'll give this thread a cheeky bump with my latest vid!

Forums been qell quite but probably because I need to quickly sort the SSL issue out. Quick fix

@Calum Yeah. I don't find that it's an issue when I'm on the PC. On my phone however, it comes up with a warning every time. Must be a bit off putting for most people.
@Mightyman yeah on your phone go to https://dt125r.co.uk
