(never give up) Hope4muscle

I still have them and intend to use them. But I'll probably make it dynamo powered with standard bulbs first.
To fix the LEDs in place and keep them dry I'll probably use sugru.

Thanks for that Sugru. Fun looking stuff. I was thinking printed housing and/or waterproofing sprays for components but that looks great. I'm also hoping to power mine when I brake if anyone's got ideas.

You're welcome. Since I discovered sugru I use it all the time. While working as a propsmaster I always had some sugru stashed away in the fridge.
That stuff is pure magic. Just give it the necessary cure time.
When I was working on the BuggyTrike I thought about implementing brake lights as well. It never came to it, but I had some motorbike brake switches on my "amazing" shopping list unfortunately I deleted the item and cannot provide the link, but the search function might be of help....
Eventually one of those would work with your plan:

Thanks for the move to the Builds section, whoever it was!

Reduced the parts stash for this project.
Might need another derailleur as I probably mangled some threads while overtightening things...

But I found two nice bullet lights that might be a good fit for this bike.

More updates when I'm back on the campground....

Today I took care of that bottom bracket. Never seen such a crank axle.
Once I figured out that the left race was threaded left it came apart very easy.

The reason of the awful noise the BB became very obvious as the left race was off...

Cage and bearings were completely shot. I had no fitting cage but some spare balls that fit, so I put it back together with loads of grease.

Runs smooth again

And if I rediscover the derailleur eyelet I can get this little bike finally done...

Today I spent some time on servicing the campground fleet. And the little muscle bike is finally operational (minus the lights). We will get on a little test ride now...

We made a quick trip to the local pump track. It's a nice little rider...
