lovely bike...........so we're both building cheap nice bikes......using 2nd hand stuff......and gold!!!!! ha ha

Twas the idea, but I got a little carried away. It sooo didn't end up cheap

Think it was like 130 on gold ti nuts, bolts and washers alone :'(

Looks pimp. That's a rear tyre on the front though ha.

I take it the axle fits. Gold and silver look nice.

dude the axle was perfect (Y) I did have to tap it deeper for the bolts, though that was because I used 45mm both sides.

Hahah, I had no clue the tyre was a rear.. I thought they were all the same :D what should it be?

We rode brum together once with Jose and a few others

Ahh, thought it was you. Rememberd your name was ben, wasn't sure on the rest.

It'd be great to join a few more local rides, I still suck, but at least I've got a nice bike to suck on now :P

Do those work on the same idea as a helicoil? Just a beefier version..

Pretty much. Except the last few threads get pushed outward when you drive the insert tool in, locking it in place.

I used the 7.6 mm carbon steel version but theres also 10&12mm inserts and a stainless option.

Not as cheap as a helicoil but I'd recomend them for longevity.
