KIRK Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 cool thanks i will. i was told i would have to import them myself tho. The wholesalers/supliers in nz dont seem to bring in coloured tyres in 20 inch. Maybe you can get them in ausi i should look there i have found grey, white, black, white gumwall, black gumwall and black with a red stripe but thats it. will see what mr bruno says tho.

sentra Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 my brains saying there was some 20 inch bmx blue knobbly tyres at the bike shop next to arthurs bar (hedgehog?) when i got livs purple ones, but i cant gurantee it. i think they were clearance old stock or something mabey?

KIRK Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 im guna go there then/ring them. i forgot about livs purple tyres. they are the same tyre as the blue ones i was talking about. the gumwalls like the pic i made seem much harder/expensiver to get/usualy they are nos on ebay. Hedgehogs website indicates that they don't import the coloured ones but men. right now i just finished my lunch and im off to the rubish dump so maybe i will see what they have at dump shop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRK Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 I have a pair of brand new blue anodised rims if that interests you? No spokes/hubs etc. interested. Are they 1980s spec araya? like on this bike only 20 inch and blue? maybe pm me a picture and price etc http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing ... =506874973 btw who lives in nelson and would pick this bike up and ship it for me? i tried cycle express and they can't do blue tyres, rang hedgehog shop on arthurs st and they knew what i was talking about but don't have them. they can get me something but not exactly what i want and its a month wait from AU and $55 per tyre i did find exactly what i wanted, gumwall with blue tread at adventure cycles except it was 26 inch and fucked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRK Posted August 27, 2012 Author Share Posted August 27, 2012 the problem is they're all online shops or ebay. would need you to be staying in one place for a couple weeks to recieve parcel? haha. will probably just do some more hunting until i find a place that will ship international but not at a retarded rate fixed panda bike yesterday. is running nice now this the hmx500 i'm restore. Got a old sweet seat for it yesterday and some stickers and forks in the mail. Once i see that stickers are correct i will take it to get dipped and powder coated.

KKtrips Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Pretty sure our tame sticker maker in Wellington has the HMX series of stickers saved for cutting out at will. I know he has done a set for an HMX 600 and I THINK an HMX 500 a couple years ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRK Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 our man can do a chrome sticker for the head tube chrome?? i think i need the one like this one has: http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/healing_industires/3638 the later style that this one has will do if i can't fint one: http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/healing_industires/3878/2 edit: you know about the bent forks thing, manu. I been looking around and all the same age healings with akai forks like my blue one seem to be bent in the same way. either its factory or they bend realy easy. To my eye it almost looks more like the forks are welded onto the tube on an angle as opposed to being bent. see this is the same: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ned Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 You'll probably find that the place where the wheel bolts on lines up perfectly with the headstock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRK Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 what would that indicate? i don't like the forks anyway im change them for something chrome edit: and manu/kk i'm super keen on the head tube badge if you wana sort it out or give me guys contact details is it like this one: http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/healing_industries/32189 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
