BMX General > BMX Chat
I am currently working on (shorts)
Midschoolfool:
Fix the race bike. It doesn't look any different (apart from the chrome bolts in the chain ring, the purple were single gear). Fitted a wider BB, so the crank arms don't hit, and spaced the chain ring in 5mm to offset this. The big difference is it now works :LolLolLolLol:
Put Kink back together and fit brake. This was after taking the front end off to get it through the hole. Take off T1 tyres and put on the Paths I degreased (and sorted) a few weeks ago.
Then crack out the T1. Fit Animal tyres.
Then sit and drool for a while.
Midschoolfool:
Well I got them on. Problem is the bolts did not fit. Still scratching my head over that one. Can only imagine now that the axle is a prototype, and not the same as the one listed. Need to design a Wedgie Jackson type affair, but they are fine for now.
Took grips and lever off the Kink. Replaced with some green Sunday grips I have had for years. They look OK IMO ! go with the green in the decals.
Put them away.
Leaving one slot open for this. Which has also been taken apart, dragged up a ladder and then put back together :LolLolLolLol:
Midschoolfool:
Bloody bikes !!
When I built the Fatboy up something wasn't right. The chain was grabbing the chain ring and popping. So I took it off last night and had a look. It seems it's a thick thin. Which is designed for mountain bikes. So on a BMX it's really not good.
Will have to get another one soon. Want to change the tyres too. Don't like those at all.
Midschoolfool:
Got this done yesterday. I fitted the free hub guard I got.
Given I can't drill out the other Gsport peg I fitted a set of plastic ones.
Then dug out a lever and fitted that. Quick Stop II IIRC. I then swapped the United stem on it with the Kink one that was on the Root Down. That will be coming out and stripped down at some point later in the year.
Very happy.
Got plans now to take a couple of killer parts and get them onto my Metal.
Midschoolfool:
Stoked. Ready for holiday !
Am really looking forward to getting back and putting a new front end on. I wouldn't say I skimped on the fork being a Primo Balance, but it was on sale for about 80 quid IIRC and there were much higher end ones around. That said I suppose everything happens for a reason, because I have a set that would have cost about 180.
Demolition Concorde. I also have these, Volume Mad Dog (same company).
Which are also top deck. About a hundred quid, IIRC. I only paid like 45 for them. Will get both powdered RAL 3005 to match the Metal, or, go for a bright red finish on those. Will decide on holiday haha.
