Katkin Posted September 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 No offense either, but you are seriously going to eat some shit, my dear. That rear freehub you got there. They are deadly, the pawls and springs are made of cheese.Tell me more because i have got nice teeth and if there is a chance that i am going to eat shit i want to know about it, they will have to go back.And thanks for the advice Simpson, I probably should get someone with experience to build my bike but hopefully i will be able to do it so i will give it a go xxKath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forteh Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 A mod is the same as a stock, much the same as any other bicycle actually; matts got his head screwed on so Im sure there will be no problems I would say you should be looking at some shorter cranks though, I found that 5mm crank length made almost a tooth difference on the rear wheel.

Simpson Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 No mod build VideoThat was ace, I've been riding 8 years and have never bothered lacing a wheel, or propperly cutting my steerer with pipe cutters! Looks like a good build done propperly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Watching a video of someone building a bike was actually interesting haha.Fair play on lacing the wheels and stuff, I'm far too lazy - end up buying wheels off the net ready built.
