25.01.2022 Who raced the 1987 Sydney International Indoor Classic at #homebush NSW? I raced B Pro and was almost 1000km from home driving a gas guzzling V8 with no fuel and no money! Thanks to Howie, @brettscruse & Co for allowing me to come away with a win and get home to my family! Good Times. .... #didyourace #oldschoolbmx #oldschool #bmxracer #goodtimes #homebush #sydneyinternational #indoorbmx #indoorbmxtrack #livinginthe80s #alifetimeago #wereyouthere #bmxnsw #sydney #nsw #winning #ifyournotfirstyourlast #bicycleworks See more

21.01.2022 This was our first Phil Wood spoke roller that we bought back in the early 90’s. Over the past 25 plus years it’s cut 10’s of thousands of spokes to precisely the right length.

20.01.2022 Redline Brute stem restoration is near completion. All the major dings have been removed and its been rubbed with 1500 grade paper. Ill now give it a light machine polish to show up any spots Ive missed with the paper then its onto the final polish. Not sure if Im going to go a mirror polish or a brushed alloy look. Ill see how the polish comes up . . #restoration #oldschoolrestoration #bmx #bmxrestoration #redline #redlinebmx #redlinebrutestem #brute #brutestem #sandandpolish #sanding #polishing #bmx #oldschoolbmx #bicycleworks

19.01.2022 Let the sanding begin. Done degreasing, paint stripping and deanodising the 80s Redline Brute stem. Now the hardest part starts. Sand out all the dings, dents and nicks that the stem has endured over the past 30 plus years. We work through paper grades from 80 to 1000 then its onto the polisher. . #restoration #oldschoolrestoration #bmxrestoration #redline #redlinebmx #redlinebrutestem #brute #brutestem #sanding #elbowgrease #bmx #oldschoolbmx #bicycleworks

18.01.2022 Getting our mid-school on. Late 90s Shimano DX hub rebuild. The original axle was all out of shape and Shimano no longer stock this as a spare. Saved by Wheels Manufacturing with a cr-mo 10 X 1 solid axle. Only issue is the 174mm length is the shortest they had. We machined 6mm off each end and we were good to go. I love the stuff other shops file in the too hard basket. A heap of messing around but love the satisfaction of giving parts a second chance. . #shimano #shimanodx #dxhub #shimanobmx #wheelsmfg #wheelsmanufacturing #bmxrestoration #midschool #midschoolbmx #restoration #bmxrestoration #bikeshoplife #bikemechaniclife #bicycleworks @ Bicycle Works

18.01.2022 Reproduction of a popular 1980’s freestyle frame underway in Thailand. Some like it and some hate it. I’m on the fence.

18.01.2022 Easily the coolest & radest selfie I’ve ever seen. Barry Nobles taking a snapshot of Luke Madill at, I think, the #madill17 compound track. Pic Credit #barrynobles95

17.01.2022 Picked up a pair of early 80s red Mongoose grips. They were stained and looked like someone already had a go at dying them black. I thought it was an opportunity to do a quick How To video on dying old grips, seats etc. I normally use the RIT liquid DyeMore dye product but only had the powder version. Ive read that adding salt helps the process when using the powder but after finishing Im not convinced it does anything. I wasnt super pumped with the final result but the color was definitely better than when I started. Ive had better, cleaner results with the liquid version of the dye. Hope you get something out of the vid, it runs just on 2 minutes. Cheers

11.01.2022 Rim transfer. The grunt work in a typical bicycle workshop. Tape a new rim to the damaged rim and switch the spokes across. This is a quick repair and isnt on the same level as a start from scratch build but its a viable option for cheaper entry model bikes that you just need to get going. . #rimtransfer #wheelbulding #wheel #bikewheel #bikeshoplife #bikeshop #bicyclemechaniclife #bikemechaniclife #yourlocalbicycleexpert #sthmorang #southmorang #millpark #doreen #mernda #thomastown #bicycleworks @ Bicycle Works

10.01.2022 A shortened version of our ‘How To’ frame dent repair. This method works on any round tube. You only need enough clearance for the rolling blocks.

09.01.2022 Finishing up a set of 24 Arayas into Suzue hubs. We didn’t build them but we made them right. Pro tools just make the job easier. #parktool #wheeltruing #wheelsmith #wheelbuilder #araya #suzue #oldschoolbmx #custombmx #bicycleworks @parktoolblue

08.01.2022 Travelling through Payson Arizona a few years back I came across the craziest collection of old bicycle and motorcycles. All of it just sitting out in the open. A few years later a wildfire came through and wiped it all out.

08.01.2022 Pro Workshop Tip. When Im working on an Ahead headset steering set up I always have a couple of pedal toe straps at hand. Theyll hold the forks & wheel in place while you remove the stem or are installing bearings or refitting / replacing the stem. Especially if youre sorting out stack heights with spacers. If you have the wheel off then simply run the strap under the steerer tube between the fork legs. Makes life a little easier, hope this helps.

08.01.2022 Pro Tip - When Im packing loose ball bearings back into a hub, headset or freewheel body I use a micro Phillips screwdriver with some grease on the point to pick up and position the balls. I always have a cotton towel spread underneath my work so if I drop a ball it wont bounce off the table never to be seen again. . #protip #buildingbikes #bikeshoplife #bikeshop #bicyclemechaniclife #bikemechaniclife #yourlocalbicycleexpert #sthmorang #southmorang #millpark #doreen #mernda #thomastown #timken #bicycleworks

07.01.2022 Sidehack racing - Relics of a bygone era. Custom built 2 speed bikes, the pilots were double strapped to the pedals. Swingers were either 40kg soaking wet or they could run like the wind. Steven Grant and Charlie Pittaway were The Devils Disciples, a crew out of Adelaide, South Australia that ruled the nations tracks through the 80’s. There were 2 finals the crowds would always watch. Sidehacks and Pro. Pro was the undercard.

06.01.2022 Circa 1986 pic from the offices of Street Machine Magazine in Sydney Australia. Early BMX has strong links with street machining and streetrodders. BMX Products founder Skip Hess was a car racer and the Mongoose Motomag wheels were actually cast by mag wheel manufacturer Crager in Compton California way back in 1974. Rumor has it that Crager were struggling and Mongoose Motomags manufacturing helped keep them afloat. #streetmachinemag thanks for the memory

03.01.2022 How to setup an OA Bath to clean rusty parts. This is 150 litres of clean water using 1kg of OA Bath crystals. For our imperial guys thats 40 gallons of water and 2.2lb of OA Bath. After your done cleaning the part after its OA Bath give it a quick dip in a solution of water with a handful of baking soda added to bring the Ph level to neutral. This stops the rust removal process. Finish by flushing with clean running water. Treat the cleaned area with something to prevent ...rust returning. A lanolin based spray inside the tubes or a rust proof primer if youre planning to paint. We dont recommend using products like WD40 or CRC for long term protection. Always use PPE when working with any chemicals. . . #oabath #rust #rustremoval #removerust #rustyparts #rustytools #oxidised #oxidation #oxalicacid #oa #restoration #bicycle #bicyclerestoration #bmx #haro #oldschoolbmx #bicycleworks @oa_bath See more
