Ross McArthur Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Has it not got intergrated tensioners? Isitafox said, "the frame has had a crack welded, the driveside tensioner bolt is seized in the frame with a drill snapped off in the thread and the rear hub was modified by a blind pissed up chimpanzee" Drill a hole and tap it out for a snail cam?

N.Wood Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 ^ Yeah that, or if you can't be arsed tapping it, a nut and bolt would also work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Don't think there's room to drill for a snailcam because of where the tensioner bolt runs. I'm just gonna have to stick something in the dropout between the bolt and the frame to hold the wheel back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 If theres space on the inside of the frame and you can weld / know someone, a blob of metal on there for the cam to butt against would also work (especialy if it's already been welded in that area).

Blake Posted February 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 drill it out? tap it larger if you can, but do it facing into the frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross McArthur Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Drilling out a snapped drill bit isn't the easiest thing to do as you would imagine. Although easier than a tap! Only way to really do it is use a diamond tipped drill bit to drill the bit out. You'd probably need an extra long tap to tap it out at a bigger size too.

N.Wood Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I might be going nuts but who has said anything about drilling out snapped drill bits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 The previous owner (although he'd probably deny it) has tried drilling the bolt out and it looks like the bit went in pissed up, got stuck and snapped off. The frame is a piece of shit though it's my fault for not properly checking it over when I swapped. The sooner I can replace it and put the hub back to a 135mm the better!

JD™ Posted February 4, 2014 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 This prat keeps popping up in my Facebook feed. An apparent 'fitness professional', which they've seemingly decided to do this year. Constantly posting those crap motivational pictures, interspersed with sharing their amazing 3 miles runs at averages of 10 minutes per mile. That's practically walking pace, you penis. I'm angry at my morbid curiosity keeping them on my feed and friends list. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Cox Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Getting a little pissed off with Luke Dunstan on here. Swapped exhausts with him a few weeks ago and rode to reading with my tools to do the swap. The deal was he'd pay half the fuel costs and as he was skint he'd send me the money last Tuesday. He's no longer replying to my emails or messages on here... Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Managed to loose myself a tenner today being a f**king idiot. My contract ran out last Wednesday, and my new phone on my new contract doesnt come till tomorrow (well, today). Topped up a tenner today with the intention of it lasting until my new sim had been activated etc... Got on the train home from seeing the girlfriend, and went and used my phone as if I was still on my old tariff, so internet, snapchat, whatsapp etc... very internet heavy.. Got a text as I came into Leeds to say I had £0.71 of credit left. Used £10.00 on my phone in under an hour. Lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake. Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Went Dirt Jumping for a laugh with a friend at Porc on Saturday, didn't expect to get into it as much as I did. Seriously considering selling/swapping the trials bike to do it now. I've also just managed to get the trials bike exactly how I want it too which makes it annoying ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HippY Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Could say that to everyone on here to be fair, it's not like we're all dying of thirst and hunger. I know but it was sounding like "It was awesome! I will change my perfect bike to another one!" And then just to add something to this thread At the weekend I got a fever, could go to work for 2 hours, and felt shit in every possible way. I hate fever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 snip A mate I usually ride trials with who's local has pretty much given up, everyone else is over an hours drive away. I have way more mates that do dirt jumping than trials which makes it more accessible and appealing... Happy now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I am like an unicorn, alone but unique and beautiful, and I must stop trials to start dirtying, so I am sad.... Will I found true happines in Dirt, or I will miss those gold olden days when the seat was not interfering with my penis? On a side note I make horrible... mockings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
