Thanks chaps. Yeah, she's a beaut. I over did it with purple tyres and it looked totally stupid but it's far more refined now. Looking forward to the leg burn, providing this year isn't another total washout.

Edit. Oh yeah, I realised I would have an issue with the cranks too. My cranks that were on there are 104 BCD, so nothing on them can be used. However, when I looked at the BB I noticed it was also 113. Which is not what a BMX likes. You are supposed to use a 108, but that never existed on Octalink. So I looked at how I had set up my CNC cranks (these ones)



I tried to set it up 30-8 but because of the dropped drops it wasn't liking it. However, when I went to 48-16 I kept the bash ring on there for two reasons. Firstly if you fit the drive ring on the inside it brings it in 5mm (as the spider is 5mm alu) and secondly it kept my trousers out of the drive ring. Meaning no ripped trousers, and no looking like a belmet riding with your bottoms tucked into your sock.



So I got that. If I just move the ring to the inside it will look poo, plus that will stop me ripping my bottoms.

Midschoolfool:
I think the BB has arrived. Obviously I am not there to check, but I didn't have anything else going to mum's house.

That will be a relief. Can't wait to get this built now.

Mikku:
Good news! Looking forward to seeing this "finished"!! :daumenhoch:

bobafett:
Coming along nicely - glad you found the stem ! Good luck with the crank set-up !  :daumenhoch:

Midschoolfool:
She's done.













Roll on spring !
