    BO15 Cyrus the Virus

    For my electric ZZR I used adapters from Aliexpress. I'm still having problems with them till now (mostly with the front one), but for adjusting I use washers from V-brake shoes, the ones that are cone-shaped. It helps adjust height, and angle of the the caliper. If you are running mechanical...

    BO15 Nouveau Style (previously Shop-rod)

    And you thing French wheels are weird.... A USSR made ГАЗ Школьник that I once had. Wheels were of the 445 size, and I never saw a bicycle that had that kind of wheels. Tires were unoptainable, also everything on it was in different size than on any normal bicycle :21:

    BO15 Blue Dream

    Mostly cause they switched to SPD pedals. I recently put a set of those straps on my Gravel, and it rides sweet! More speed, less pedaling effort.

    BO15 RaTs GaSs...Great year all!...pg 26

    @OddJob, don't worry! It seams that this year is full of unwanted suprises like that, but still you're halfway through. If this cheers you up - I still need to pick my saddle from the post office, and still need to buy a fork, steering bar, batteries & LED's & outer casings :21:

    Bomber! Everybody wanted those in the old days when me & some friends were into jumping bikes :D Super cool!

    Yet ANOTHER tangent.... custom 1910 style English "sloping top tube" Path Racer project.

    Watch out for those rims. India - made bike parts have a tendency to almost perfectly copy older bicycle parts, like Brooks\Lepper saddles, or older English\German framesets, but are of such a bad quality, that they can even fall apart after a month.

    BO15 American Boy aka. Twisted Sister

    Dziękuję! :D When this whole thing with the pandemic ends I was considering to visit some of my family in NL, and a friend in Switzerland. The only problem is limited vacation time :21: Don't tell her, but I couldn't resist taking it for a hard ride through some bushes, gravel & staircases...

    BO15 American Boy aka. Twisted Sister

    I know :wink1: It originally had a 110mm coaster brake, and this is a 135mm wide 9spd casette hub. I Already bent them as I always do - by hand :showingbiceps:. Not quite parallel, but not that bad. Had a one week break from this one since I had a quick side project... Long story short - a...

    BO15 American Boy aka. Twisted Sister

    Agreed! Meanwhile Babushka Cat be working all day! Cleaned and put on the pedals yesterday. And mocked up the rear wheel. That thing is tight! Not a lot of space around it, and sadly I think I may have to change the axle from a quick release to a normal one with nut tighteninig. My quick...
