The Bike Shop / What did you do to your bike today? (v2)
« on: June 01, 2012, 12:26:25 AM »
I'm working with a few other friends to build a free public skills park for local riders to shred, have fun and progress their skills. Most of our stuff right now is elementary skill based but this saturday and sunday I'll have a Cat out to help build the jump lines.
I'm trying to save time to focus on making the most of our time with the rented Cat so I'm building the trick booter at my house.
Right now it sits at 4ft tall with an 8ft radius. I still need to add the top 2ft for a grand total of 6ft. I also need to cross brace it and add the back-half framing.
We'll be launching into a dredge spoil/sand setup for a soft landing to learn tricks into.
I'm building this thing solo in my garage so I tried to do a little "self photography" work with a tripod and point and shoot.

I started cleaning the surface rust off a spare frame. I'm building some dirt jumps for the city so naturally I need a "trail" bike right..?
After I have it cleaned up completely I'll prime it, paint it, build it and shred it.

I just realized I said Ratchet when I meant G-Coaster. Will I be able to crankflip on the G-Coaster?
I heard the G-Coaster V2 was going to come with lazer booby locators with a grub screw inside the axle to fine tune what cup size you prefer so you don't have to pull the hub apart to change your settings.
AKA: we won't know until the hub is available.

Zane = trusted.
I paid him. He provided a text with a copy of the receipt. The brakes showed up as promised in the best packaging ever. I think I liked the packaging more than the parts inside.

Spill the beans...
Honestly, it's nothing new. Thrust bearing behind the clutch, bushing driver setup. I'm trying to make it happen while recording all the part numbers to make the bushing driver work and have someone else be able to duplicate it.

I went full crack-head on one of my coaster shells.
I had Couch do some work to the insides and couldn't really hack the thought of all the grind damage.
Before
Paint removed and setup on a ghetto jig
Mid way through. This is how shit gets done when you can't afford real tools.
Ta-dah! It took a few hours with a million different pieces of sandpaper and a nice shammy but it doesn't look beat to hell any more.
Like an idiot I'm half tempted to blast it was some matte black spray paint because I can't decide whether to use black or silver spokes with it.

Anybody have a Nankai and want a KHE?
I have 3 KHE's right now. I would love to go back to my old Nankai.
Heck even with thread on axle adapter and a steel hub shell making that hub a portly SOB, I would prefer to run it. Although. I'm curious to see how my new KHE mods work out.

you should find an 11t single speed specific cog for that. the lock ring looks sweet!
Thanks man. The lockring was fun. It's the first time I used my drill press as a lathe. I just rounded out the edges by hand after taking material off. It turned out alright.
No one makes an 11t singlespeed cog that I was able to find. 12t is the lowest.
I know I'm running on less material but I'm going to end up running a 3/32" chain on this bike anyway so it should be alright. I'm hoping this 11t cog won't be on there for too long...

I made an 11t cog/driver for my King hub. The stock lock-ring is designed to work with a 12t cog at the smallest so I had to turn it down. I don't have access to a lathe so... I built a ghetto jig to mount up on my drill press and used a file to take the material down.

you're a good guy.
Thanks bro.
I boxed this guy up to send off today:
and I played around with the brakes on my Gnarkill:
I'm in charge of the design and construction of the jump lines at the Castlerock Skills Park as well as the design and construction of the advanced pumptrack so I put in a couple hours of work down at the park to get things rolling for our demo day this weekend.

I stripped my LX cranks in prep for polishing for my new Pompetamine.
I had a couple local kids roll up while I was blasting Tom Petty in the garage and need some help. I ended up setting up a 12 year old with a new Monolever, Snafu dual upper, GTX, dual lowers, Evo II's, Eclat pads, a Ti Profile Imperial, 2 Aitken red walls, Eclat bb and some twisted PC's. The kid is a big kid but rides all the time and gets heckled alot by the older guys/skaters at the park so I wanted to give him a confidence boost. I felt good about getting him going...and then his mom gave me couple bucks. That kid could not stop giggling about how excited he was. It was a good day.

I had been getting really irritated with my Evo II's as they were super loose on the mounts. The bushings wore out after a month of use.
So I mounted up the ol' Hombres that I had modified to clear 25-9 years ago.
I also bent and reshaped my lever to sit flatter and closer to the bars. I wanted to get rid of the box wrench marks so I spent some time with a file, some sand paper and a bit of polish.
Get low
No excess cable
