Title: mk3 1in headset holmes finished!!!
Post by: kev-s on August 07, 2009, 03:29 PM
finished building my mk3 1in headset holmes today, excuse the grubby marks ive yet to give it a good polish, it will be complete once the s&m padsets come into the country, its replica of the one i had in 1994 :smitten: :smitten: :smitten:


not entirely happy with the rear axle postion, needs a half link to get the axle sitting perfectly in the middle of the dropouts

regardless of the year, the dirt monsters look right to me, if you had 94 Holmes then there's  a fair chance it ended up with Dirt monsters if dirt was your thing i reckon.

the dirt monsters are a little later than 94 but look so right on the bike, i really wanted some gt logo tread tyres but none were around at the time and when they do come up ur looking at £50+ for em

nice bike dude.

this just reminds me of how bad s+m build quality is, the travel in the dropout should be equal to the brake block travel on the 990's but never was on s+m's. i see you've had to angle your pads heavily to catch the rim.

yeah ive had to angle the pads a bit, hopefully if i put a half link in the chain it should bring the axle into the middle of the dropout and the blocks will align perfectly
