I like my Rubens, but one solution could be to get gloves

Cleaned stem, fork and bars after stem slipping twice. Grease from the bolts had somehow gotten in there.

The Lounge / PAPOY Spot Finds
« on: August 05, 2012, 12:04:25 PM »
Went out looking for spots yesterday. Brought the phone today, so I could show you guys.
Hoping they don't build a rail next to this one. If they don't, it will be fucking awesome. Most of these got a rail next to it, about bar height, so my bars hit the rail if I try to go up/down the ramp.
Found this little set of stairs. About the size I got the balls to jump for now.
Curved wallride, same spot.
Jumped off this thing three times, and fucked the wrists up every time. Tried to go faster, or land rear tire first, but still the same. Tips?
Also seems like a good spot to learn wall rides. Any tips on starting out? What angle should I approach from?

Shortened the chain quite a bit (smaller sprocket etc), but am now riding with the axle sticking out of the dropout 2-3mm. I was maybe 1mm away from riding it slammed.
Question: Riding it for a week or so, is there possibility of the chain stretching enough to remove the whole link (ie 1mm), or should I just get a half link and find myself somewhere in the middle? It's a Shimano chain, and it's been ridden a few years.
25t/9t on 1st Fit Hawk (13.75 slammed I think).

Nothing wrong? I pulled out the bolts to see if the thread got fucked, but they looked as new.

When I tightened the bolts on my eject hub, it made the sound of loose spokes. I was able to tighten it them though. Axle fucked up?

Put the adapter through the other side of the sprocket.
This worked. Cheers

Switched wheels and sprockets. You probably save a bit of chain weight by going down in gear sizes. Going from 36t to 25t.

I shall try that. Took forever to get it out of the old sprocket and into the new one though.

i've only seen a sprocket bolt spacer once since i started riding. most places don't really have them (never hurt to ask tho, of course). a few options off the top of my head:
1. i'm assuming you spaced out the sprocket from the crank arm at the moment? it's good for alignment yes, but an ill fitted sprocket bolt/space will give you more problems. go the second best route of spacing the sprocket out instead
2. machine one from a small diameter spacer, if you have access to the tools. it's not hard to drill a hole to correct size, will need a bit more sophistication to make it 3mm thick tho - and if you're already doing this, you might as well consider option 3
3. machine a single unit spacer. basically just a flat piece of metal at consistent thickness, then you drill one hole for the crankarm axle and one for the sprocket bolt. it'd be nice and clean this way, and you'll ensure the two areas are spaced the same amount. *do note to use steel/7075 tho, i've used 6xxx series before, worked well for a while but the crankarm axle hole experienced some crushing.
Cheers man! Oh yeah, I might have had a spacer on axle between the arm and the sprocket. Weird that if I didn't notice it when mounting the sprocket though. I'll check when I get home.
Got Flybikes v1 cranks and a 25t Odyssey Vermont sprocket with adapter to fit the cranks (the adapter adds maybe 1mm of gap). But all this was working alright with my 36t wtp sprocket.

Tips to use as a spacer for the sprocket bolt? Got about a 3mm gap, so I can't tighten the sprocket bolt, or the sprocket wouldn't be straight.
Or should I just ask the LBS?
