custom reversible layback seat post made from 2 old posts cut and one welded inside the other, it's heavy but very strong and now for some way to make it gold coloured....
that would be no, they seem to be designed for 20" wheels with 3" tyre's (tires) fitted.1KW said:these frames fit 26" rear wheels or no?
Know any sort of cruiser frame with a 26" rear? These frames look great to throw 24s of headways in.thewmatusmoloki said:that would be no, they seem to be designed for 20" wheels with 3" tyre's (tires) fitted.1KW said:these frames fit 26" rear wheels or no?
Which would make them ideal for fitting 16" motorcycle tyres to deal with the puncture problem that all ebikes seem to suffer from, if only I could afford or even find some :?
Would a BMX chain tensioner help in your case? They come in different strengths/sizes:underdog said:How are you going to keep the chain tensioned? (Trying to find a good solution for singlespeed rear suspension myself...)

Cheers man, thanks for the offer. I'm accumulating a decent pile of parts here. There's the Demo9 bike (complete) and Giant DH comp frame with kiwi dropouts on the way, plus a ton of parts in the post. I'm going with the HT3525 in probably a 100V LiPo setup. The demo9 frame just seems too nice to take an angle grinder to, so I'll probably sell the frame but use most of the gear from it.thewmatusmoloki said:Thanks for the helpful tips guys but I reckon I've got the this one under control
Hey trevc2 that's a great looking bike you picked up recently, it should convert really well, If you have any problems just shoot me a PM and we can use my workshop to fab up a problem part.
I can't really use the type of tensioners you posted because of the suspension moving the front and rear cogs relative to each other as underdog pointed out.
Here's how we did it on the last build from a year agoHere's a link to that build from a year ago, it still goes like a little beauty.http://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=31030&start=25 Simply an old derailleur from another bike (got heaps of 'em laying around) I like the derailleur idea because it brings the chain around the bottom of the rear freewheel a little more and grabs a couple of extra teeth.
shenzhen_ex, that is an interesting pic you posted and is pretty much the plan for this build, Cheers.

... yeah,busted 8)Hyena said:I see why you were showing interest in my gold rims and bits now!
I ended up using the rear brake (1350mm) for the front, got 2000mm of stainless mesh hydraulic cable for the back brakes from CRC and took the other lever and caliper to 99 bikes for them to fit and bleed , when I got it back I found that they seem to have made a hole in one of the hydraulic seals inside the lever reservoir, didn't check it properly at the shop and paid the 60 bucks. Found out a week later when I went to test it :x ..... I'll never go back to 99bikes again.Hyena said:I hadnt seen those gold brakes around, nice find. I'm tempted to get a set myself but would rather function over form
Gold Coast Motorcycle Tyres in Mermaid carries a bunch. I got my Pirelli ML75 there for $45. Not the cheapest, but very close by (and it only took 1 day to get it in stock). Much easier to walk over than pay more US freight coststhewmatusmoloki said:that would be no, they seem to be designed for 20" wheels with 3" tyre's (tires) fitted.1KW said:these frames fit 26" rear wheels or no?
