DodgySam Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 I have a chain tensioner/slack reducer lying round in the garage if you'd like it. Would reduce the likelyhood of the chain jumping off the rear chainring everytime you hit a bump/pothole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris.QCR Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Ahh the mesh just makes it sooo much cooler. Its sweet to have storage space pushys. A couple days after the qauke me and a doz mates misssioned down to Hornby bmx track for some late nite antics. I was booze cartage. Had 2 doz in the swappa crate cable tied to my carrier on my old raleigh. You would be able to carry a keg or two on this trucker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 yea I have another ct90 engine to pick up tomorrow, if the chain jumping issue was sorted I would probably do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePog Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have just put a new chain on which has vastly improved the chain jumping issue, still need extra tensioning probably. Waiting for rain so it will rust sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 salt + water slurry, dust over frame. result? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted March 19, 2011 Author Share Posted March 19, 2011 I have considered the possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaMpylobacter Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 i did that to my pug bonnet. you wan tto get it to the point where the rust is drak brown asap so it doesn't secrete oodles of bright orange dust all over you etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 So longbike has back brakes now which is a good thing. I rode it to work today and gave many, many of the denizens of Christchurch a chance to think to themselves 'What the fuck?' and ponder on the meaning of such a remarkable sight.

joff_nz Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Is a wooden slatted tray a possibility. Maybe popsicle sticks? no, thatd be silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgySam Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Will be sending tensioners this week...I hope ur prepared. Do I need to break out the vas? maybe not vas but a liberal helping of analeze may help somewhat! Is a wooden slatted tray a possibility. Maybe popsicle sticks? no, thatd be silly. And yes...but varnished cedar strip decking would make me jizz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePog Posted March 27, 2011 Author Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yea seems too, I modded it a bit so it can pivot freely/keep the spring tension etc, the proof will be the performance on the way to work tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgySam Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 how'd it go today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePog Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 Fucking sweet, smooth riding perfection. The only problem now is the single gear - I max it out everywhere now. I just need to find that internal geared hub from somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
