The Bike Shop / Where can I get sprocket hat washers (adapters) in bulk?

« on: January 03, 2017, 08:11:19 PM »

I have searched around and didn't really come up with much, I know someone trying to start doing small batches of heat treated full guard sprockets and he is looking into getting a bulk load of sprocket adapters for 22mm and 19mm spindles.

Does anybody here remember the websites for some of the major Taiwanese bike part manufacturers?

Thanks guys!

Do the B6 forks have brake mounts?

I ran a WTP Utopia fork with removable tabs (like the Deco) and I would recommend getting welded lugs. Mine came off a couple of times and it was super annoying and difficult to fix.

I have an entire bottle of red thread locker I've just been waiting to use. Lmao! I've had the Odyssey flatland fork with removable mounts and it was fine but thanks for the heads up, I'll keep that in mind.

please sell me your rnc fullguard...

I couldn't bring myself to do it, I was offered 525 for it and turned it down, had my bike stolen a couple weeks later and got that shit back and it was mostly because I would know that sprocket anywhere

Thanks much guys, I mostly got the responses I hoped for and expected.. I'll probably get suelo brakes for the front but I'm still not sure if I should spend the $$$ making my Nokon work right or just get something simple.

Gyro is between the Odyssey or Snafu, Shadow is out of the question even if Bezanson rides em.

Deco Fu forks or fastpitch are my go to choices but I'm gonna take what I can get for now..

Brake pads are the main issue now, I'll probably only have painted rims for the bike so I plan to strip em raw and  use clear pads.. But I can't remember which brand came super highly reccomended a couple years back.

This will probably be the third time I try to run brakes in the last 15 years so my knowledge is super dated

I've been busy with life shit since I blew my face up and rarely come on here now, so maybe that's a plus?

and here's the footage of me blowing my face up, because why not?

Are the Blue6 Primo Compression bolts sold as a set or individually?

I've still got my Blue6 Hollow ti bolts for the Ratchet hub too, you made some kick ass stuff.. any chance in hell you might have some of the forks with brake mounts still hiding somewhere?

The Bike Shop / questions for front and rear brake users.

« on: January 19, 2016, 09:13:18 AM »

So. I plan to do another 2 brake bike and want some ideas on what to use, I have Revenge brakes for the rear and a monolever small lever for the front but need front brakes, fresh pads for both, a rear brake lever and cable  and advice on whether to buy a new wire, inner liner and aluminum bits for my Nokon front brake cable or just get something else, also.. Odyssey gtx-r still the best gyro?

Suggestions on brake stuff and forks with brake mounts would be appreciated.

Thanks guys.

« on: January 19, 2016, 09:01:16 AM »

Somewhere there is a video where I do a gap into a big skatepark pool and when I carve the facewall you can hear my rim dragging the facewall because I only had about 60 psi in the tube.  I watch my psi moderately better now.
