Got my first puncture in almost a year, swapped tire as well as tube because I was in too much of a hurry to check tire for sharps

Did a smith before work and the front wheel came loose, when I got home I found out that the axle is stripped. Gotta put my shitty Vandero wheel back on....

That happened twice to me on my old front wheel. Male front hubs don't take smiths very nicely.

I took the Sunday Forecaster Special complete and swapped the forks out for F-25's and swapped out the back wheel to a freecoaster.  Took off the back brakes and got my grind and my backwards on.  Such a fun bike set up.

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 should find an 11t single speed specific cog for that.  the lock ring looks sweet!

Widened to 14mm and deepened my axle slots on my 04 ody flat fork so I could run this brand new 14mm 36 spoke Hoffman wheel I have had laying around for a year. Surprisingly, I didn't notice a weight difference. My front end finally feels solid again. It is amazing what a new front wheel does for the feel of a bike.

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...
