A dream of mine. Not a BMX, but has some BMX parts
Midschoolfool:
And 41mm bearings too. Brakes are coming tomorrow, I am proper excited !
Midschoolfool:
I see light at the end of the tunnel. Two things left to arrive now.
Midschoolfool:
Quick Monday update. The jockey wheel tensioner has arrived into the UK from China and is now with Yodel. I can't return home without that, so fingers crossed it will arrive tomorrow. The other assorted bits are not critical to the bike working, and I will need to go through all of the hoops with the insurance company before it goes outside any way.
Midschoolfool:
Fookinell. Ordered :LolLolLolLol:
Midschoolfool:
Seat should arrive tomorrow. I came home yesterday having given up on Yodel who were beginning to annoy me with their constant "It's out for delivery, no it's not". I am still missing the tensioner, but it can wait now.
So the first and one of the hardest things to do was respace the wheel back to 130. This required redoing about 5 times until the axle was finally centered enough to satiate my OCD.
This was before I did that (four more times) but it works.
What's important here is cog position.
Which is great. Remove wheel and replace decals. Not redoing the clear yet. It's functional but a tiny bit misty. I can live with that.
I think a brillo pad would sort it tbh. Gotta be worth a go. Build front end.
And then finally, FINALLY fit that elusive Ti BB. And then fit the cranks.
Then put the PK away and get some sleep. Wake up, fit more parts. Destroy rear inner, have to order another. I also destroyed that 120 quid chain so ordered a YBN.
Change front tyre from 25c to 28c for a softer ride.
Cut hand mysteriously.
Fit wheel.
I've done some small PPF and the bottom pic, I will get some more pics later. This is the chain I ordered.
I'm over expensive and flimsy chains. And very expensive chain tools that snap (F U Shadow and your supposedly indestructible crap). I've also ordered a new brake cable inner for the rear.
