    OCC Stingray CHOPPER build 😎

    As she sits. Also picked up a tc bros diy custom sissy bar. It’s heavy 😭 any tips on where to trim head tube? I would imagine about 4mm below where the stem top cap would be? I will be using pipe cutter.

    Bruce is one inch taller than me at 5’7” 🥵. And I’m shrinking by the day :( got my fork situated. I spend over two weeks looking for a compatible 1 inch JIS 27mm crown race that would fit into this really nice cane creek fourty 1 inch threadless headset. I tried 27mm sunlite, tange, seiki...

    Ok then. Back to the drawing board. Here is what I was sent about the headset the product code ec30/25.4 ec30/26 should have tipped me off if I knew about it. If I follow cane creeks code system I need a ec30/27 lower cup and bearing. wow I’m learning soooo much. Thanks for all the help...

    Hmmm I’m stuck. the fork neck tube flares out to to 27.06m at the very bottom (25.4 for the rest of the neck) The crown race I have is 26.12 mm Here is the gap to be pressed: I can’t get this to seat down at all. I’m applying a good amount of force I think! The crown race has to stretch...

    Gonna use the 1 1/8 washer after watching this park tool vid: the tool puts the force *not* on the inner lip.

    Thanks! The fork is 1in got pvc tubes in 1”, 1 1/8”, and 1 1/4” So I should just go ahead and use the 1”? I guess I don’t know the interworkings of the crown race. Does the inner diameter contour to the fork tube or does the outer diameter contour? I assumed it is the outer part of the crown...

    my NOS cane creek 1 inch thread less headset came in. So pretty. I wanted mostly because they are polished instead of black. But the build quality and tolerances seems better than the generic black set I had. so pretty. A bit of shame to cover it all up. I’m going to the hardware store now...

    Holy ..... I wasn’t into bicycles when I first saw that video so never took notice. That would be an awesome tribute project!! Glad to meet another fan.

    I’m a HUGE Bruce lee fanatic. My favorite garbage pail kids card was “bruised Lee” 😎 Thanks for the seat mount idea hammpea! I’ll investigate how low the seat can be mounted that way.

    thank you for taking the time to reply! Also such a good idea to just ride the thing before committing to anything! She’s got a ways to go before she’s a roller. thanks for your insight about the “flare” and crown race part of the headset. Now the pieces make a bit more sense knowing there is...

    little back story: discovered occ stingrays through the ebike world. They have a bit of a following to be motorized (both gas and electric actually). Through the several builds I saw, I learned of peddle choppers.com and the owner jim wilson. He’s seemed to be into these these things for a very...

    😎 I like. Are those forks from a Jesse James bike? I recognize the ones not used as occ stingray. What size is rear wheel? I wonder what it would like with a 20 or 24 x4 rear wheel (I like the chopper look)

    Good luck on not letting the speed bug bite ya! It’s actually not the speed but the torque that feels so good! Best of luck!
