Pieter1 Posted June 10, 2013 Posted June 10, 2013 Sorry SS with belt drive chainDangle has one. I think it's in the bike porn thread.
Swift01 Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Seems like I will have to come and show you okes how to gooi some lekker broadies Is that Merida a mtb fork or cyclo-cross fork?Not sure just says merida. I got it from a friend.
MTBc Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 Yup, still deciding what kind of decals to fit.... No, I rattlecan sprayed and clearcoated the frame. Trust me, you have to be so patient and careful doing that - certainly learned a lot doing it myself.The last paint went on 5 days ago and the finish is still soft enough to dent with a fingernail. Needless to say I haven't ridden her yet. I have a subject. am keen to slowly start on an SS project (the longer i take, the more chance i have to get strong enough to actually ride it ). excuse my ignorance... but rattlecan as in spray paint with a balletjie in it?? and what did you use for clearcoating?

Rattlecan clearcoat...... But the rattlecan stuff is generally rubbish quality - fades, chips and cracks easily - better to go with a small touchup gun and automotive paints.
divernick Posted June 11, 2013 Posted June 11, 2013 If you're going to paint by yourself, use ENAMEL for colour and clear. The normal lacquer stuff is rubbish. Otherwise send in for powder coating. Or strip and polish. MTBc 1

VicanZA Posted June 17, 2013 Posted June 17, 2013 Thinking of doing my first SS will try building it myself (first full bike build). Going 650b gonna save cash as I don't need a groupie! What ratio do u run front and back? Average ride about 500m climb? Don't wanna be pushing to much.
