That ratchet wouldn't happen to be a 10tooth?

Sorry, it's a 9t.

Still riding, but haven't been on my BMX much this summer. Mostly riding road and a Pugsley that I built up last winter. I'm torn on selling my BMX stuff even though I have four badass bikes taking up space in my garage.

Finally getting some rideable weather here in WY and all I want to ride is my road bike and my fatbike. The BMX is getting very little love.

The new(ish) Odyssey Grandstand PCs are really wide and decently thin. The bushings are a little finicky for preload but once you get them adjusted right they're smooth with no wobble. I've had mine for a bit and like them.

The Grandstands are enormous, as in I actually thought they were too big. I put them on my mountain bike and went to Eclat pedals for the bmx.

Sorry I disappeared.  I don't think my setup is atypical--GSport ratchet 9t in a BSD Beverage frame. I run the guard on the outside of the dropout. My chain isn't super tight--I hate super tight chains, but it isn't flopping around. I ground out the front portion to give it more clearance around the chain.

I had to do some substantial Dremeling on mine to keep the chain from hitting it, but I love the dumb little thing.

That's beautiful. I've always wondered about the strength of a brazed frame.

Will donate in a little while. I'm sorry about the diagnosis. I've been having frequent muscle fasciculation and my physician is worried about ALS. FUCK NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES.

Thanks man. She's on good medication right now, though it's ridiculously expensive. Hopefully you don't have ALS and they can figure out a treatment for you that works. One thing I've learned through all this is that medicine is not a one size fits all science. It took​ us a couple years to diagnose it daughter and then it was like...Yeah???
At least she handles it better than I do.

Hoping this is okay to post here. My daughter has Multiple Sclerosis and I'm doing a ride in Utah to help raise money for the National MS Society. If you want to donate, I'll be super grateful.
Here is the link to my page if you want to donate.

I use Tripod on 2 of my 4 bikes. I like that there is no hole on top of the seat and the base of the seat is cleaner.

Nice build, and it looks like you have the park to yourself.

Good question. I know the Socket drive specs are available for free so people can build sprockets to fit, but I couldn't find a spec sheet for Tripod. I'd check with OTX distro--they should be able to point you in the right direction.

Is G still on here?

Yep, there's nothing skimpy about the Marmoset. Between that and my Ratchet, I don't think I'm going to "need" a new wheelset for years to come.
