Current Projects chat and miscellany

i'd really love to get some yamaguchi handle bars made up, but i don't think i can justify another $800 yet, i'll set up a thread asap, and a wanted thread, who's hogging all the 24" discs???

this is mental, love it, will you lose the wheel decals?

Rear decals will come off front are under laquer so I will leave them these are my race wheels training wheels have no decals will put a picture up tommorow.

a project of sorts, helping to arrange a retro ride around where I live on March 13, my 1st effort at flyer design :)

looks good, keep us updated

I meant MAY 13th! luckily the flyer has the right date on it ;-)

How are you finding the brake levers? And how much were they?

The TRP levers are very flexible, it have a shim for two position; old style aero and modern flat position, quite a nice choice.

I also like the quick release which make removing wheel even easier, and installing them is a doodle, cabling them up is a piece of piss without having to spend time trying to find that hole.

However I haven't ridden with them enough to get a good feel of them as I scraped my hands real badly that I've been mostly riding on the top, will give it feedback after the TNRC when my hand healed up properly.

I mean you really gotta give it to KC, not a single punctuation mark in the middle of a sentence since ever he's registered on here

... dual discs

Why? Get some nice 24" araya 20a, look great

hmmmmmmmm

hmmmmmmmm

I'm pretty sure it's the lack of welding and brazing gear that's more of a problem.

^^ Intriguing, want one.

Not exactly the best material choice though. Probably fine for one or two uses but likely to warp unless it's kept perfectly flat and in stable conditions. It's quite easy to make one out of aluminium for quite cheap.

In track mode ready for Herne Hill.

I recently bought mks toe clips size L but they are too small to fit my shoes. Are there any clips that will fit a size 12 shoe?

Size 13 toe clips?

Love it bmxed, you have some nice bikes. Is it for training or racing?

First time on the track tomorrow so inductions and all that jazz. Hopefully I'll get some real racing time on it in the future.

i'll build a spoke wheelset up, for coffe shop rides and alleycats and general awesome looking cruising etc... ;)
i'm still deciding on rims, i'm a bit pedantic about matching rims so whatever i get i'd need a matching 700 rear, i have found an araya adx 24" 20H, but he only has a 700C 28H for the rear, and i really want 32, i'm 90kg and i prefer 32H both for strength and the way they look 3X, bit anal but its not a build i'm going to compromise on, but as it looks, more likely to be getting some velocity rims, aerohead on the front and maybe a deep v on the rear, to keep proportions nice, plus i know they'll build up perfectly, but dual discs for the wall, when she's hung that'd be the ultimate i think, it is a track pursuit after all

May have to get plastic mtb style toe clips to get any larger

I am in the process of building a fun/commute weapon. experimenting with a nifty AHead stem mutation. which is quill to Ahead adapter, which gives about 60mm up into harvested 501 down tube, fixed with a BMX seat clamp. Feels pretty solid but the question is "will I die" braking at speed?

feels pretty solid but the question is will i be able to get up any speed?

ftfy

Fixed. I guess it depends just how fat you are.

Ah nice one, you'll love it in this weather.

Ha! fair point. I was thinking down hill! I'm just going to have to test out wearing protective flame and road proof clothing.

there's a hole in your cranks.
