Living with the new repop Stingray

[blackdiamond]

Picked this up from good old waltons website a couple weeks ago. Ended up being 133 total shipped. Didn’t expect much for that price but was surprised. Looked like that cut all the corners on the assembly. Frame is shaped more correct than the expensive Amazon stingray.

swapped the rear tire for a rounder one for daily use.

Used every day to run between shops. Also upgraded sprocket to a pork chop bmx unit that was bigger.

It gets to ride in vans sometime when I take them to the finished line. Aside from having to take the entire rig apart to rebuild and grease everything. It had basically zero grease in it.

Biggest daily issue so far and it’s not a big one, the bottom bracket bearing don’t seem to match up to the races. Ends up being a very talkative rig. Growls a bit.

Green one is currently still in stock in Walmart . Com for 154 free shipping. For anyone interested. I’d say they are worth it.

Little tire update, always thought gum walls looked good on green.

Took it and my other 20 on a 15 mile ride. Did walk it up the Big Dam Bridge tho.

Seats in these things have basically zero cushion.

Kinda of a dull update. But the kickstand decided to give up the ghost. Holding pin decided to become non existent. Luckily I had a spare.

Racked up close to 25 miles this weekend on it. Even found a derelict derailed boxcar, probably Rock Island. ( across the river)
