Re: I shall call him wilfrid the klunker (19)

got around to changing the crank arms today





The 44 outer ring that was on the bike was really low geared so thought I would try out the 52 tooth for fun! Will be ordering the larger tires this coming week 2.125 instead of 1.95! should give this bike a nice hieght and grip!!!

this is the sign on the paint booth! like I said not sure whats up she wants no help etc. thought she was just clear coating but she won't show me what she bought??? today watched her bend her first support truss rods and they look good!!! Go Momma Jats :D

still need to raise my front derailer :D

Re: I shall call him wilfrid the klunker (progress)

so the new crank arms threw the gearing alignment off by 1 full cog so shimmed it over to the right location today then had to get out of the Lauries way. Learned the hard way to not get close to her bike twice i tried to help, twice I bled :!: and when I tried to get close a 10" cresent wrench fell off the bench onto my foot :roll:

Heres some pics from today






Took him out for a test ride and love the gearing on it now! the 24 inch rims make the 52 tooth outer ring feel like a 44 and the MTB rear cluster makes this thing easy to pedal on and off road it dose not have the Trials ring for grunting up hills but it does have a portage strap :D the shorter 165 cranks added an inch to the pedal clearance and the 2.125 tires will get the rest of the pedal hieght that I need, the head light survived several curb drops and going down some stairs to so am real pleased with that :D :D :lol: :lol:

Oh, it does not feel like a satin finish :?

Re: I shall call him wilfrid the klunker (last test ride)

got home late today and it was 100 degrees! so did not get much done on the trailer. Removed the sides and deck back to the platform that I built underneath, it was still solid and showed no signs of rot ETC. when I did the trailer originally it was a kid hauler and could even carry a 100 pound hay bale. since it will be used for shopping etc. I kept the sub frame the same. will slat it tomorrow and work on the side rails



also hope to be able to get the handle bar bag done for Wilfrid!!

Re: I shall call him wilfrid the klunker (trailer)

oh this is the trailer I towed from Redmond OR. to Florance, up to Lincoln city, down to Salem then back to Redmond on a summer ride Laurie and I took. at that time it was a factory Burley with the Yellow canvas etc. It even hauled the kids till they got to big and I Modified it so I could haul them around some more!!!
