Bobbo_SA Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Never thought I would say this but I wish Grumpy was back already Thought he was, :-(, also in need of some famous Grumpy advice
NotSoBigBen Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 Thought he was, :-(, also in need of some famous Grumpy advice Next week Tuesday I am told our sorrows will be over
Hairy Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 NSBB .... good man on getting a Dale Pics of the build or it never happened!
NotSoBigBen Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 I await a call back from West Rand cycles ..... taps fingers on desk impatiently
nickc Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 I await a call back from West Rand cycles ..... taps fingers on desk impatiently Hopefuly they will sort you out, bought two Dale`s from them in the past - always gave great service.
NotSoBigBen Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 Got a call back from West Rand 2 days later and offered one option at 1100 ZA Rondts . decided to wait for Grumpy and it was well worth it (HE'S A GOOD MAN!). Cost for the headset goodies, half link chain and handlebar just over half that Now to wait for lunchtime to start stripping the old 'donor' bike ...... Hairy 1
NotSoBigBen Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 The donor bike So close .... Still some changes but any comments? Hoping that chain will be OK, can't make it any shorter ......
rock Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 does that frame have a BB30? then get one of these - http://problemsolversbike.com/products/eccentric_46_bottom_bracket Hairy 1
Hairy Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 The donor bike So close .... Still some changes but any comments? Hoping that chain will be OK, can't make it any shorter ......Dont worry that half link will be a little longer rather quickly and then you could hopefully shorten the chain. If not and you can't do as rock proposes, get a chain guide that mounts between the BB / Frame and use this to take up the slack. Check out what Flowta did somewhere or drop him a PM for a pic, nice clean solution! Bike looks FFFAAAARRRRR better than that old Merida BTW! NotSoBigBen 1
