I am currently working on (shorts)

Wow man, dope ! so the fork came.
S&M don't date stamp anything. Wondered if it really was NOS, then I discovered this was the packing :LolLolLolLol:
Midschoolfool:
My dual pull lever arrived today. If you don't know what I mean I mean this.
Problem is it was kinda huge. After looking at it I realised it was just a V brake lever someone had made parts for and ghettoed together. So, I decided to do a bit of that myself. Firstly for a lever I had this in the loft. It came with the 1999 I got for next to nothing, and was NOS.
What I didn't know was where the cable went into it. If it went in before the body? it would work. If it went in at the end (inside) it would not. Turns out it was before the body.
I then removed the stop and got rid of that nasty stuck flat head screwdriver bolt. I then removed the lever nut and bolt from the huge bitch and counter sunk the stop.
Much better. I may drill and tap some barrel adjusters at build time, but that will be very easy.
Midschoolfool:
Evo 2.5 for the S&M.
For riding season is almost upon us. I can't fookin wait.
Chilli Rinse:
I just wrestled a cheap arse fat/thin Duro tyre combo onto a 50/50 pair of black tuffs. It took a little more effort than I was willing to put in but I wasn't having another pair of tyres get the better of me.
:LolLolLolLol:
Sorted
Midschoolfool:
So I took the cranks off the Pork.
Got a Ti axle and bolts for them too. I almost put them up for sale, then realised the Fat Boy had issues. The fat skinny chain ring on it was holding the chain. Good for a crappy MTB, not good on a BMX. It was popping and etc. Bad basically. So my immediate thought was "Put them on that". But then I realised I don't have a BB cup set or a 22mm Euro BB. What I did have was a 19mm euro BB and the cups were already in it. No brainer, took the Profile down from the nail they were hanging on and.
The red Primos were then deffo going up for sale. But, then I realised the Dirt Bike NG would really like a better crank set, and it already has US cups and 19mm bearings. So, all I need to do is buy a 12 quid 22mm bb and on it can go.
So, to celebrate I picked the bogey off the rafters and removed those nasty Animal clown shoe tyres.
Foogin love it. It also makes the front wheel not trigger my OCD any more having the polished lip.
Another one sorted.
