Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Just made a chain keeper out of a piece of irrigation hose and a couple of cable ties. Will test it out this weekend, if I manage to replace my brake hoses in time.
Flowta Posted July 4, 2013 Posted July 4, 2013 Recovered my SDG saddle in leather last week And "made" this spiderless chainring/crankset this evening. Hairy, Capricorn and Chro Mo 3
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Just finished the back-plate for my home made chain guide. It's a preliminary cutting, and I will be refining it over time. Just need to add the bolts and the sliders, and we're A for Away. I reckon I'll be making a mould from it, and casting a proper one out of some sort of resin with a couple of bits of kevlar to lend some extra strength. More pics to follow as I finish other bits of it. Edited July 11, 2013 by cpt armpies mayhem Capricorn and Hairy 2
Hairy Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 So a few months (read nearly a year now) I needed to sort out the brakes on the SS .... I had a set of levers without the "pins" holding the lever to the lever body and used a simple calble tie and a allen key solution, see pics below. Anyhow, this has been working very well Chro Mo, Eddy Gordo and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 3

Hairy, do yourself a favour, go to a hardware store and look for a clevis pin, then put that in instead. Far neater, and can be a dedicated solution... EDIT: Cape Nut & Bolt or one of the bolt supply companies should have stock. And they're dirt cheap. Edited July 12, 2013 by cpt armpies mayhem
Chro Mo Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Recovered my SDG saddle in leather last week And "made" this spiderless chainring/crankset this evening.I would be very interested in how you did the saddle. How about a step-by-step when you have the time? I have a Rolls that will need recovering in time, and I have a bunch of leather. Pretty please???
RexFuzzle Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Haven't got any pics but have been servicing my Suntour Axon fork for a while not... super easy when you figure out what is going on- clean out seals, replace oil etc.Would put new seals in, but can't source any, but so far so good. I also increased it from 80 to 100mm of travel... very tempted to drill another hole and make it more...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 How did the chain keeper work out? Testing it this PM...

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Just a question, is that plate clamped using the BB or does it slip over and use the ISCG mounts? ISCG. And this is just a preliminary. I have more polyprop for subsequent, potentially improved designs.
Grebel Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 ISCG. And this is just a preliminary. I have more polyprop for subsequent, potentially improved designs. I want to do something similar. Wanting to go 2X9. Replace the big ring with a new laser cut bashring and make up a Stinger type chain roller. No time, no time! Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 1

That's what Flowta did on his Sanction... Grebel 1

But this is follows pretty much the same processhttp://www.instructables.com/id/Cover-your-worn-bicycle-saddle-with-real-leather/
