Re: PAY IT BACK

That kid is one lucky little guy. Way to go. Keep going. Can you imagine the look on his face when you tell him it's his...You got to take a picture when you give it to him. Then put it on here. Good job.

Re: PAY IT BACK

neither can i next up will be lacing the wheels, and getting the fork closer to compleated. once that is done then it will be taking it all back apart for final polishing and clearing. and thanks to all for the nice comments they really keep me going when i am down.

Re: PAY IT BACK

Are you cutting matching holes in the tank? cool rim and tire combo.

Re: PAY IT BACK

karfer67 Do you have any spare parts for that hub. I have the same hub but it has the threaded rod broken inside the hub. I need the threaded rod and the little sliding piece that it threads into. I like the tires you chose. The whols thing looks great.

Re: PAY IT BACK

sorry no spare parts for the hub. and yes matching holes will be cut into the tank insert which i am going to make out of sheet copper.

Like the hole in the rims :mrgreen:

Have you thought of the possibility of the inner tube poking its way thru them? Pressure has a way of working in weird ways.

Just a thought.

Re: PAY IT BACK updated 6/22

nope it will be fine i was a bit bummed when the original rip strips broke while i was trying to remove them but i think if i just double them up i will be ok. and that is how this rim was designed they are early 80's araya mongoose rims

Re: PAY IT BACK updated 6/22
