to be continued. i can't ride it with the brake on >:( its rubbing on the tyre a bit or too sharp. i won't put another chain link in
the back end is short as i want it.
i'll drop a tooth or two on the sprocket. sprockets on the way

(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/c160/risetothunder/powerlite42.jpg)
so which one do i use?
sbc is a 43t
powerlite a 42t
i have some flip mohawks on the way, if they look ok for pegs maybe with a modification or three :LolLolLolLol:
then i can try 42 15 which will give me my legs back.
42/16 and 180s? naaaaah :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: wirewheel on December 28, 2008, 11:43 PM: got some pitch forks on her today :daumenhoch:
a profile fireball 44t and a half link chain that was approaching the bin, but i rescued it.
that got the brake issue sorted, 15" rear end, tyre clear :daumenhoch:
rode some barrier bloks on the supermarket and a bit at the plaza in the bowl but the flair attempt went belly up :LolLolLolLol:

mr darkersomeday those hubs are well sick. theyz just rolls and rolls and rolls! mint! thanks for those wheels dude. :daumenhoch: had to go chrome on the back rim tho. the yellow was ok but i like the ghetto raw finish.
