Urine Yellow - mountain bike to bmx conversion

Got Covid, nothings happening. Doing OK, but kicking my butt, very tired. Will resume when feeling better.

Have been picking away at specialized tune up, little at a time.

Get well soon

Feeling much better, no serious issues, symptoms just kept hanging on. Thanks for the support

Back to Bike Talk.

1. Think I need to get the wheel / chainline worked out here to get comfortable on how to move forward.
2. The fork kinda bugs me, rideable with the modified fork, need to find a donor 26 1 1/8 straight fork or decide if I wanna spend $ on new one. Don't wanna buy parts until I get wheel / chainline figured.

Bought full chromo dirt jumper forks..... but.... 14mm drops, ordered some 14mm to 3/8 adapters too.

Black chromoly won out over hi-tensile chrome.

Another side track. Was given a couple of redlines, cleaning them up amd swapping some parts to give to kids in my neighborhood. 19 1/4 " top tubes with 175mm cranks is weird, swapping shorter cranks, for younger riders.

 

[kingfish254]

Those are some long cranks on that red one

 

[Indyjps]

Fork got here today for the real build. I'm tied up for the next 2 weeks. Bummer.

 

[Indyjps]

26" full chromo dirt jumper forks arrived

*** not my arm, belongs to the seller.

***** brings me back into class 1 rules with no welded stuff
