Re: monark "chicken coop special" done

well, just got back from an hour and a half walk home. why? popped the chain. went home and pulled a new one off of a parts mountain bike. cut and fit and heard it "click". so maybe this time itll be better (tire was rubbing also) weird how yesterday it was riding just fine till it got painted. :roll:

Re: monark "chicken coop special" done

Derailleur chain? Coasters use 1/8", mtb's use 3/32", unless someone put a 1/8" chain on the mtb you haven't solved your problem. Too much slack, combined with frame flex when riding hard or leaning can allow the chain to "shift" off, or maybe you're trying to use a 3/32" in the first place. :|

Re: monark "chicken coop special" done

the whole reason it came off the mountain bike was cause it was the wrong size for that bike. i rode it home from jack in the box and everything went perfect (minus a huge thorn) i think the other chain had to much slaxk, and was way to pieced together.

Re: monark "chicken coop special" done

as a huge photoshop fan, i had to tweak it a little. i had an idea, and ill need opinions, white bars? wrapped the same way with the same tape, but white, opinions? thanks. (and the magnets worked for the light)

Re: monark "chicken coop special" done

Cool!
If you had those drops of a Nel Lusso,it would look like the RRB sticker bike...the tire up thru the rear rack. 8)
I might try it with some small bars attached to the top of the extensions,running up to a plate attached to the rear caliper mount hole.Kind of like a Truss bar fork,or to simulate
a rear suspension.

 

[snydur]

Re: monark "chicken coop special" done

i was thinking of an adjustable truss rodd attached to the center hole, then to the frame, so i ould dropp it for shows, and raise it for rides. but i dont want to mess with this frame to much. im going to try it on the black bike for the build off.

Re: monark "chicken coop special" done
