(Slammed Trike) doing the finishing touches...

The 3 speed hub drop out is in and I do believe it just might be even more BOMB PROOF than LukeTheJoker's Custom Diamondback "JOKER".

Nice work, no idea on how to route that cable nicely though...

Luke.

Any of you have any idea of how to remove the logo on the side wall of tires... I'm going to be using OCC StingRay tires and would rather not them have the white lettering on the side of them. It almost looks like some kind of decal on there but not really sure what it is.

Great job so far. You could run your cable in the frame tube to hide it a bit. Regarding the tyre lettering, try wet sanding it off.

You have to always have a wrench on hand to keep the nut behind the handlebars tight.

I still need some cable guides for the shifter cable, plus a new cable.

No real work on it tonight, did get a shifter cable and cable pulley for the hub shift linkage.

I once removed one with a scotchbtite pad and simple green. IT took a bit of elbow grease to get it too.

Did it leave the area all scuffed up???

 

[Tommy Atoms]

No. I used a fine one.

Shifter cabling routed and hooked up (works). Also mounted the horn.

Still need to weld the cable pulley bracket on the chain stay.

The shotgun shell in the top of the shifter mount is cool!

Luke.

Thanks Luke, I only wish it could of been a brass end of one.

Here is what I will use as my taillight, still waiting on the red lens for it and my headlight.

love it

Built the bearing holder for the third axle bearing that takes the drive torque of the chain and disc brake.

As you can see I have a freewheel adapter to mount the disc brake to.

your trike is motivating.

I'd try that purple stuff on the tire, but wear gloves it'll suck the fat out your hands...

Man you got all kinds of things going on. I painted the white letters on my truck tires with flat black paint. Actually painted the whole side of the tire. Once the tires get some wear on them you can't tell any difference. I accidentally ran over a paint can once and had blue spray all over my tires. I scrubbed and scrubbed and the paint wouldn't come off so I decided to spray over it with the black. It worked. Your bike is looking good I'm glad mine is more a simple drive train.

What is Purple Stuff?

Royal purple the degreaser. I'm assuming anyway.

I am mostly improving or at least I hope so what was originally there to bring the drive train back to working order.
