But i made some new struts because the ones included are really crappy.

I'm around here since 2010 but just changed the username to match my "business". Rear brake is my own creation. ✌

I named them "Motocroose Bar". 🙃

That bike is my little test vehicle to see how many selfmade/modified parts i can add. Up next is a matching brake for the front.

A wise decision made! Cycle Trucks are the perfect choice.

I even cut the ends with a template i made from GB guards because i did not like how they looked originally. All that effort just to confuse people at the Internet, haha.

Those are powdered Velo Orange guards. I originally bought Gilles Berthoud, but the powder coater fucked them up. The stays are handmade from 6mm steel tubing.

This was bought new 23 years ago by my wife and the time has come for it to fit our daughter now.

Knitted Tabi socks by my mom and Bedrocks is my new favourite. Birkenstocks quickly start to develop quite an ugly smell when paired with my sweaty feet. The EVA ones get torn apart by pedal pins.

73°. I have not done much of calculating before. But I did just check it in a trail calculator and end up with around 32-35mm of trail which seems fine to me for loaded purposes.

They straight went to the fleamarket-box after the first spin and were replaced with a silver deore in the back and a black one for the front. 0/10 would not mount again.

My cycletruck is in a rideable state. I decided to go for cantilever bosses on the fork. Was planning to add discs front and rear but changed my mind and the v-brakes have plenty of power. Unloaded it feels twitchy like a trackbike but with some load up front it behaves a lot more stable. But the steering is still a lot easier than with a loaded basket on a front rack. Success!

It is fillet brazed and i did it myself.

I wanted it like that, so it doesn't look that much like a conversion.

I used some of my extra spare time for some brazing exercise. Hopefully it will ride as funny as it looks.

I am very excited how this creature will handle.

Those are exactly the ones i meant. They are standard M5 thread and the only features are an added nut and the stainless steel.

You can just use some standard m5 screws.

It was red before. Basecolor is white and yellow and orange are flourescent. It is a lot brighter in the sun.

A Wolverine i painted for a friend.

I gave it to the folks at Binova and they did it for me. So basically i have no clue and that is scareing me aswell.
I got the system for free and it works quite ok but I am thinking about converting it back to muscular power from time to time. To be independent from electricity and get back a normal Q-factor. I feel like a duck on it now. Also that big lump of plastic looks way crappier than some nice classic silver mountain bike cranks.
They are developing a smallish motor for the back hub right now, hopefully i can get one to test because that seems like the sleekest solution to me.

A 90l concrete bucket is cheap and fits quite nicely.

There is no way that dimpling will work at that place, because it is too close to the casted wishbone. It would ruin a nicely made frame. Get a smaller tyre for the back.

That's my tool for nice transitions. I just squeeze the tubing in the vice.

I used the mudguards on a 26" bike before so the stays were too short. For the front I made a new one from 6x1mm steel tubing that needs to be trimmed. It has a nice built in curve to pass the brake caliper. Then I noticed that I ran out of material so I made some "lugs" for the back and glued them on. Will get some more tubing and make a matching 6mm stay for the rear. Should be much stiffer than the original aluminium stays so it won't rattle and bend that easy. Besides that I quite like to build my own stuff, haha.

I got a broken Wolverine frame with a cut bottom bracket (was necessary for warranty replacement). Welded it and put all the parts of my selfmade bike on it. Needs cabling still.
