Flipping awesome ... could I please ask for some detailed pics as a friend is looking to make himself one. Anything you would have done differently, and anything that was just plain genius?
RocknRolla Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 I always had a soft spot for the BMX. You got a stellar deal there Andrew, I'm quite envious. I had to see a client on the other side of pretoria on friday, man alive was I excited to get to go somewhere other than the office and JHB sites. Then I got sad because I got excited about going to Pretoria. Did final drive replacement last weekend. The previous chain & sprockets lasted around 30k kms. Not bad for someone that does chain maintenance erratically. I am not enjoying riding bike in traffic at the moment, the amount of close calls due to cage driver error and general inattentiveness is up to about 3 a week. I'm worried that my spidey sense will let me down soon, and I'm dreading the consequences. I have reduced my general speed to a lot lower, and I'm basically trusting no-one to drive predictably. Uber scooter drivers at the moment is 1 on my sh1tlist, followed shortly by soccer moms in big suv's , uber/bolt cars and taxis last on the list. Andrew_Smith and Hairy 2
RocknRolla Posted October 11, 2021 Posted October 11, 2021 Also working on a bike rack design. Time/money equation is currently out of whack Hairy 1

Anything you would have done differently, and anything that was just plain genius? The bike and rack have long since gone, but I am happy to send all of the pics I have on this. Happy to chat about how it worked. It is not ideal to transport a bicycle on a motorbike. My goal was to minimize the overhang by having it down the side of the bike. It is a fine balance though and makes filtering a bugger but it allowed me to keep the topbox for kit and the rear seat was also open for kit. It did require the pannier brackets to bolt to. PM me and we can exchange numbers. Makes sending images easier using whatsapp. Hairy 1
