Mounted the tires to the rims, but the tires have to be replaced, they have warped, pitted and very sticky so I'll get some new ones ordered. These turned up this afternoon Ordered both my wheels and the shocks last thurs and the shocks only took 1 day longer from china Shocks went on quickly, running box stock. Only issue is that my servo now hits the chassis brace, and I don't have a dremel fix it.

I took a gamble and it didn't pay off. I still like them and think they will look good on the G6. Ive just baked the wheels but I think the oven was a little to hot as it started to melt the wheels and tires not bothered about the wheels, hoping the tires will be ok once they cool down, if not i'll order some more stock ones as they are pretty cheap and perform well. The house is well and truly stunk out. I have the extractor fan going full blast with all windows and doors open.

Time for an update. I got my wheels through today, with refreshers in the packet I went against the grain and got the gmades. I have assembled them without tires for now to see how nicely they went together, no issues there. The hardware does feel very cheap and could do with being replaced. Im rather disappointed by the finish. In one of the wheels there is a gash in the metal around 10mm on the dish and then they went over it with the matte black. The black was also applied very thinly and some has chipped off even before I opened the packet, I imagine they will "weather" very quickly. Hopefully within the next few days I will be baking the stock wheels to get the tires off so I can fit them to the gmades and take it out for a spin.

Thanks everyone for the replies. Im pretty open on the type of bike, as long as its light and fit for my purpose. It will only be used for commuting so needs to be able to eat up the miles. I am open to the idea of buying 2nd hand so I'll take a look on pinkbike, cheers for the links shdaxner. ostewart, I have a decathlon relatively close so I will go and have a look at the triban Thanks again

Don't think the MRS would be too happy with me bringing motorbikes through the house lol

Lol yes, this is a thread about push bikes, hence the links to cyclesuk

I actually just sold all of my motorbikes. I had a Suzuki DRZ 400m, Suzuki bandit 650, and a Honda MSX125. Unfortunately when we move I have no where to store them which is why I'm looking for a push bike.

I'm moving house soon and I will have to commute by push bike as I'm limited to 5k miles per year with my car (pcp finance) The Mrs has allowed me around

Great video, music is very well suited too

Could be tempted by some of their scale accessories

Bit of a disappointment, I went to order shocks and knuckle and c hub combo, but the combo was out of stock in all colours. So Ive just ordered the shocks for now, and when that comes in stock I'll order it along with CVD's

Just ordered some wheels, now its time to visit asiatees

The SSD's on your G6 looks great, which is a major factor in why I'm considering them Thank you for the pic, the gmades look great on it. Cheers for the link

I'll be ordering some wheels tomorrow and I can't make up my mind. Its between SSD d holes in black and gmade SR03 in matte black. http://www.rcbitz.com/wheels-tyres/wheels-on-off-road/off-road/1-7-wheels/1-9-steel-beadlock-d-hole-wheels-2-black-12mm-hex-mount-scale-bolts-g2-ssd/ http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GMade-1-9-SR03-Beadlock-Wheels-Matt-Black-2-GM70184-/271726389817?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item3f4427aa39 The SSD's look great but I would like something different and all those tiny bolts would annoy me. The gmade is a bit of a gamble as Im not sure it would suit the body.

Cracking pics, love the last one
