Switchblade Score (Both done now!) :)

[ED-PV]

Picked up a couple of pretty much brand new Nirve Switchblades today! One was even partially boxed up, had to build it up to get it on my car rack. I have always loved these bikes. Can't wait to start modifying them Guy said that they are 2005 models, but never used. LOVE THEM!

LOL...I think like a lot of us, I buy them with every intent to sell, but after modding them and riding them I get kind of attached I'm a sucker for anything with wheels. I can just sit in the garage and stare at these things!

I have seen some Cannibals online...what's the difference between a Cannibal and Switchblade?

Re: Switchblade Score

Same bike physically I believe.
The Cannibal art was designed by tattoo artist Corey Miller, yeah, gotta get one some day.

Nice bikes BTW.

Re: Switchblade Score

I wonder how wide a rear tire I can put on these bikes?

 

[Slick Rick]

Re: Switchblade Score

Measure, Personally I would start with a wider wheel out back. :wink: That tire wont have a problem fitting it. Some gears would be good! The newewr versions have a multi speed rear hub and a disc brake up front. :mrgreen: Both of which really make this one better! One of my faves BTW. Where the heck are you anyway, you are scoring large! :shock:

Hey Rick...I test fitted a 24x3 rim from one of the Phat bikes with a Fatti-O tire. Looks like I will need an offset rear sprocket for the chain to clear the wheel/tire, and chain lineup should still be good. This wheel did come factory drilled offset towards the sprocket side. I don't think this setup would work with a 3" rim that has normal centered spokes. I looked at what some others have done with this bike and they look SICK!! Will definitely have fun with these bikes

Re: Switchblade Score

NICE! You just keep on playing with this stuff, I'll let you spend the money on R&D and I'll just reap the benefit! LOL :shock: But seriously, glad to see someone else push the boundaies! :mrgreen:

Re: Switchblade Score

finally got around to putting the offset sprocket on the switchblade with the 3" wide rims. Works GREAT! Chain / Frame clearances are tight, but nothing touches. Had to put some spacers between the frame and the cog for the chain to clear the frame...maybe 4mm worth of spacers. I think this is the widest you can go with a switchblade Chain line is straight and everything is smooth.
