Title: '93 KHE Catweasle
Post by: mattuknc on May 01, 2012, 09:55 PM
Just a quick pic as I'm really happy with how this is progressing!  :daumenhoch:
Needs a few tweeks, the headset still needs adjusting as it's not sitting right.  ::) And the chain is catching the frame at the back, which is strange. But apart from that, all good.

Like I said Matt - looks great fella  :daumenhoch:

Not sure about the chain though - it had no problems with a set of Peregrine Super Pro hubs. Is it a standard KMC you've got on there? If it is a standard chain, pop a washer over the hub axle drive-side to get the rear slightly over to one side to avoid scrapeing that lovely smoked chrome  :daumenhoch:

It's a standard 510, yes, I'll do the washer trick.  :daumenhoch: It's a shame because the hub (TNT) is a really good fit.

Cheers. Not sure what Kappy will want for his but Dan was kind enough to let site supporters have this for 90 big ones!  :daumenhoch: What a top bloke.

Cheap bars off the bay, £12 or something! Bargain.
The sprocket's a 'Perv' one, 33t.
Need a couple of pairs of big pegs, anyone got any?  ;)
