Cycletruck project

Thanks for the advice guys, the hebie looks right up my street, BUT is it clamp on? It looks like it screws in to the chainstay bridge?

Edit: Answered my own question, the hebie website has this retrofitting device: http://www.hebie.de/retrofit-stand-plate-699-40.hebie69940.0.html?&L=1

But it looks like it still needs a fender mount on the CS bridge, or maybe drilling the CS bridge could make it work.

Can be either, reckon you should go to BikeFix with your bike first to make sure there's enough length to prop it up before purchasing.

Does the BB felt quite high or were you used to having a bike with a high bb to not notice it?

It doesn't feel that high, I think its about 300. But I guess I am used to my polo bikes ridiculous bb height.

Yeah bwoy, looking good.

I can recommend this pletscher twin kickstand.

Very stable and should suit the high bb. Available from practical cycles Great customer service.

I used to have that when my bicycle's tyres is too big for the Hebie (60c).

they're both very good, I personally find the Hebie slightly better (felt more solid).

Thanks for the heads up, good site.

Does that kickstand require a plate? If so, reckon you can use it with the hebie retrofit plate?

If you want a steering stabiliser, look into the Hopey Steering Damper

surely thats overkill
i can see the point on a 180mph 200 bhp motorbike, but tankslappers on a push bike at 20mph bit silly really ?

isn't it ?

For downhill, riding through gnarly rock gardens, it may be of use. Though most downhillers don't bother.

Just found this Max. I'm in love with her! Exactly the kind of thing I wanted to turn my old beater into.

Looking forward to seeing what else you get upto...

max this is awesome. i want a workhorse bike now.

It does require a plate. I would shoot practical cycles an email as they stock alot of hebie stuff.

Loving the cargo dude. This reminds me of when I got my CETMA rack and you kept telling me I should put it on my Panasonic...

posted in the wanted/classifieds section, but..

looking for a donor for another cargo bike project,

anything goes really 1" 80's/90's mtb, similar to raleigh lizard or of that elk. Ideally around 16" frame but whatever

anyone got anything that suits?

What's that plan this time?

elk

That look fantastic.

BB look very high - little worried that it might be a hair too high for a kickstand.

The hebie two legged kickstand might be o.k. with that, had one before and they were pretty tough, should be enough to keep the front end straight;

alternatively you can have a steering stabilizer connected the downtube with the fork;

This shouldn't need a stbiliser as the front rack is attached to the frame, not the forks.

What's that plan this time?

The plan this time is to take the old mtb, chop the ht out and replace with a longer one, extend some 20 inch forks again and then add a rack.

Smaller rack this time though, big enough to accommodate the largest size cake my girlfriend makes at work.

On another note, my larger rack is strong, can carry a weeks grocerys, but when under heavier loads it flexes loads, so I need to make use of my top rackmounts on the ht. More on that soon.

Thanks for pointing out I can't spell gabes

It sounds awesome. Look fwd to seeing it develop.
