[QUOTE="Glen, post: 1095224, member: 16803"] GLENDERSON: The Update Series 10/December/2018 Quite a bit has happened since my last post some four years ago. Early in 2017, I had to move house and moved to a different town. With the rental property market bad I wasn’t sure if I’d have space for all my bikes and parts in whatever place I got, so I gave it all to fellow RRBer, [USER=14765]@Endlesschain[/USER] (Ryan). The house I moved to is not far from his place and is indeed ok for bike building.:) I’ve done a couple since moving here... Blackheart for Build Off #13 [ATTACH=full]87356[/ATTACH] Silver Angel for Muscle Bike Build Off #07 [ATTACH=full]87357[/ATTACH] Recently, I was thinking about my old bikes and asked Ryan if I could buy back Glenderson and he said I could just have it back. :113: Here’s how it looked when I gave it to Ryan… [ATTACH=full]87349[/ATTACH] And here’s how it looked when I got it back… [ATTACH=full]87350[/ATTACH] As you can see, Ryan swapped the tyres and used the toolbag on another bike, but other than that, it was just the same. The band brake on the front was never very good and was even worse now, so off it came… [ATTACH=full]87351[/ATTACH] I had a Sturmey Archer rear drum hub so decided to fit that. Here’s the old hub… [ATTACH=full]87352[/ATTACH] Here’s the rear wheel removed… [ATTACH=full]87353[/ATTACH] Here’s the new hub fitted... [ATTACH=full]87354[/ATTACH] I didn’t have the right length spokes for a cross 3 pattern so had to go with cross 1. I’ll change that when suitable length spokes manifest themselves. :nod: Took it for a ride and it still rides well and now stops better. Here's how it looks now... [ATTACH=full]87355[/ATTACH] I’m going to update Glenderson as time goes on. I might add a disc brake on the front to make it stop even better. Also want to change the shift levers, widen the handlebar and change the brake lever. That’s all for now. Glen. Edit: Here’s the future ‘to do’ list… Disc brake on front Twist grip shift levers Widen handlebar Change brake levers Full fenders Stand (it did have a stand but it was never very good) Possibly modify the rear triangle to lower it a bit Cut doors into the tank for storage Put on a bigger headlight [/QUOTE]
