Common Questions and former stickies. / common bearing and bolt/nut sizes

Homers used to be available in both small (metric, for going down to 13t) and large (SAE? for 16+ freewheels) threads. If yours is one of the newer (Taiwan) hubs, then no, it won't work.

I am perfectly fine doing moderation. The more people we can pool, the more steam it can gain.

The easiest way to add a page is to search for the title you want. When it doesn't come up with anything, there will be a link that says "Create This Page". Click that, then it will bring you to the editing window. Just make sure you add the code posted above into that edit window. I'll go through and add some empty pages so you can go in and just click "edit" at the top.

There is a bit of a learning curve with this system, so please feel free to post your questions here, I'll try to be quick with replies.

Random, the catagory has been added. Nothing in there yet, but I assume that's what why you wanted it... just add

Code: [Select]

[[category:Tricks]] to the bottom of the page

Thanks to Carbon, the Wiki is up!  http://www.bmx-u.com

Please contribute what you can. Even if it is posting some other work that needs editing.

Sorry for the delay guys. It seems setting up on BG is having some traction issues. Carbon has offered help to get this hosted on a separate domain to get things going. Expect an update soon. But if you havethe time, please write it out, edit other work. I have been

Right now, it seems the main challenge is getting the wiki part up and running. Please post links, or start threads on ant guides you would like to do.

I just got a PM back from Sheep who said that the wiki can be hosted on BG. We'll just need to find some wiki app that integrates well.

Eggit: With Dans and the thread here in BG, we should have most bolts and bearings taken care of. Go ahead and write the Gyro guide. That's the great part about a wiki, pictures can be added later.

Deathrow: have a look at the spreadsheet of different articles to be done and see if you can knock out or even just edit down any. Or, if you know some about wikis, I am sure your help would be appreciated there.

Thanks DnixJDP I know that Carbon was also interested in working on getting the wiki up and running. Perhpas we should have a list of potential people who will be working on this project and what their focus will be. As always, edit as needed:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AnwRtvUPvy5CdEtCUE1hODRnUDVUbUl0aldkTmo3bVE&hl=en

I was able to find a lot of how-tos out there. So the list may look long, but there are plenty of links: https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0AnwRtvUPvy5CdEw0QjNGc1FwUWo0WTN2M056X2V6clE&hl=en

Andras, I am not sure what to tell you, I just tested it on IE, FF, and Chromium (development build). I can post the list if you'd like.

Yeah couch, I looked at the common stickies list and put some of them up there. I am hoping that a lot of this is already done in one way or another. It'll be a bit of searching the net to fill this in.

Also, if someone is willing to detail a mod or maintenance guide, just do it, it's appreciated. Even the small/trivial stuff helps because someone out there might be wondering, "What if I want to use GDH bolts in my cranks?"
