niconj Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Got the last bits for the build! Arrived today! Why all the bearings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilf Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) do you want a red headset?Already got a Red King to go in it. Why all the bearings? 2 front hub bearings as I bought the hub second hand and 2 Fly bottom bracket bearings. Rear wheel is laced up, just needs tensioning!

weirdoku Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I always thought bikes look a bit silly when they have bright coloured parts on a dark coloured frame. Interesting to see what it looks like finished in real life to what it looks like in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilf Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Sorry I've taken so long over uploading photo's, was going to wait for a mate to take some really good ones with his camera but I can't wait any longer haha. The pedals arrived just after I built it but haven't got any pictures with them on. It was good fun building it and its really really nice to ride, so damn stiff. weighs 10kg. Got this brand new set of RS7's to go on it, Identical to the ones already on it but no scratches they'll be going on once I've had the lockring anodised.

craigjames Posted September 6, 2014 Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 Bike looks nice, but I don't understand; after all that time and effort you've got DMR Moto diggers and those pedals on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilf Posted September 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2014 1: They're not Moto Diggers, they're Moto RT's . I don't understand why everyone hates them so much, they're really really gripy street tyres, hence why Danny Mac used to ride them. 2: Look at the top picture, you'll see some loverly V12 Mags ready to go on, they hadn't arrived when I built the bike.

I hope you have a large supply of inner tubes or decide to run silly pressures. They're pretty crap tyres really; paper thin sidewalls, not very grippy at all and if there is a hint of moisture then they're useless. Just an odd choice for the type of bike and the standard of the rest of the build. 2. Fair enough, a much better choice! More in keeping with the rest of the spec.

They're mad grippy and roll well, so they're awesome.Flats shouldn't be a problem, he fitted one of these the other day. I tried to hide it twice but he insisted.Adding 500g of rubber to such a nice build is bloody evil if you ask me.
