    Yep sure will. We’ll hope it all works haha 😆 At least it is likely to increase drivetrain wear. When I engage/disengage the clutch on my mtb, which increases chain tension a lot, it doesn’t affect perceived force in fingers or legs very much. Or maybe you meant force in the chain?

    Murray Beach Comber/AMC VII

    I'm with @The Renaissance Man. The Air Conditioner font rocks, and his excellent advice with clear varnish: I'd start with a stencil to lay clear on the edge molding, to seal it and keep it light, before adding stain to the center part.

    I love it! The different colored wheels/rims are a perfect match to the frame fade paint.

    Acid. Reborn (finished)

    Prototype for a rear brake caliper mounting bracket Before I test fitted the projectors, I got a pair of OEM Kia Optima LED DRLs on an auction, dirt cheap. They look nice. Not sure how I’d mount them though as they’re quite large. Maybe I’ll saw of the innermost pair from both sides and...

    Acid. Reborn (finished)

    As work continues, the progress bar goes backwards. I started experimenting with a high pivot idler pulley system. We'll see if I keep it or scrap it. It's like side pipes and injectors on a Charger

    Midriff-ter MTB...My home from May 1 - Aug 1...pg 15 !

    Ditto, #4. The color of your bike’s frame is captivating. Sometimes it looks rust-dusted (1,2,5,7) Sometimes it looks like it’s glowing hot (4,6)
