Modifications: I cut my bars down, they start at 29" but I cut them to 28" My BB is a vocal prototype, it has a plastic washer on the inside that is attached to the spacer by Allan keys screws which you can tighten to slow down your crank movement which I prefer as I like my cranks to spin slower as I'm brakeless .
Weight: 22lbs
Brakes, or brakeless?
Jack Clark: brakeless....
How does it feel getting to build up a new bike from time to time?
Jack Clark: When building up a new bike it always motivates me to ride, I love changing my bike a little all the time so being able to do it when I want is perfect for me.
Parts you go through most often?
Jack Clark: Bottom brackets and headsets I always have a hard time with, and breaking Bar-ends is like a daily thing with me now haha
Who are some of the people who hook you up with parts when you need them?
Jack Clark: Harobikes, Premium, vocal bmx, MooreLarge Distro and Custom Riders.
When can people expect to see you back on the scene giving it your all?
Jack Clark: I'm back riding fully now but still taking it easy as I still get a little sore after a days session at the moment, but I recon I should be fit and ready for the BMX worlds in Germany :)
Thanks to: I would like to say a massive thanks to my Sponsors: Haro bikes, Vans, vocalbmx, customriders and MooreLargeDistro, for keeping me and my bike fresh and helping me live my dream, cheers Guys! :)
