Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoy!

Yo that’s awesome! and thanks man! Such a fun bike to shred on🤘

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it✌️

I know right! and thanks for the support bro!

Thanks man!🤙

Thanks my bro!

Thanks bro! Yeah you should, super fun to play around on. And yeah the tires are super fat, just glad they fitted 😅

I feel you, my first thought after building it and when I rode it was to change the bars. Im going to chuck some wide risers on it don't worry 🙂

Appreciate it mate, thanks!

I know right.. thanks for the support bro!!

Thanks so much man, I appreciate the support! awesome to hear, what's your first project?

@@waveywheelies start out meaning...I have no tools, no idea as to what I'm doing lol but imma do it. It's a 'vintage' norco monshee. I have no idea what spd it is and the frame is rusty as @#$!. Do u have another personal way to communicate as I would like to bounce ideas off of. Amazon is about to be my new best friend lol

Send me a message on instagram if you like!

It sure is!

Thanks man!

Thanks!!

Thanks my bro! Turned out so much more rad than I expected

Thanks bro!!

Hey, thank you! I really appreciate that! They are awesome bikes! People throw away all sorts of bikes unfortunately, I’m just glad I had the opportunity to put some life back into it and to carry on its journey!

Thanks you! I appreciate it✌️

Awesome, sounds like a sweet project. Remember you can always chuck gears back on if you decide you don't like it!

Thanks! Its a really fun ride

Thank you!

nice one dude, sounds like a good project!

Thanks bro!

Awesome! Yeah it’s such a shame but thankfully there’s a bunch of people like us saving what we can!

thanks man!

Interesting.. Ill have to give that a go

Dam man that doesn’t sound fun 😅 soak it with some wd40 or similar. I’ve broken quite a few chain whip chains before, but the good thing with some of them is you can just replace the chain on it

Got it from Topedo7 too, a while back. Im not sure they still sell them though. Best bet is looking online, or local bike shop 👍

Thanks! 36/18. But I might change it to 36/16

Thanks man! I’d say support your local bike shop if you can. Also plenty of places online if they don’t have what you need✌️

That would be interesting.. you would need a tensioner with a spring like a derailleur as this one is fixed. Not seen it done before but I’m sure it’s possible!

@@waveywheelies i've recently seen someone who has actually done it . I think his channel's name was Bike Blogger. He had a video where he did a 2x1 drivetrain as a commuter setup. Like a small chainring for a bit of urban steeps and climbs and a bigger chainring for speed in flats. It was kinda amazing though. It was the first time I've seen one and after looking up a bunch of forums online, there were really a lot of people who've thought about it and have done it. Maybe i guess you could try it out if there's a chance (or if you're kinda interested 😂) and somehow share your own thoughts about it? Thanks, man! Keep the content up! 💪

@@berylkeziahmonterona4844 yeah ill have to give it a go! as much as I hate front mechs, I would definitely prefer a 1x set up rather than a x1 if you know what I mean

Not sure sorry, its non branded!

Currently riding some Eclat Contra plastic pedals with ReStrap straps. Any bmx pedals is good as long as it’s got the gap/opening for straps to fit through. Ftwcrw do some nice straps too but I’ve never used them so can’t really say. Are you looking for pedals/straps that are sold in nz?

State bicycle co Simpson straps

waveywheelies ah just ones that are easy to get here, not getting stung with the shipping from overseas as per haha

Just check it over for damage, dents cracks etc!

🙂

Just normal bike grease, anti seize is also good as it'll be less likely to slip. Just make sure your tightening your clamp up enough. My seat posts very rarely slip, and if they do its only a mm or two.

It helps for sure but not necessary if you can find the “magic ratio”. The drop outs in this frame don’t allow the wheel to move back/foward. So the only way to tension the chain is a tensioner or to find that magic ratio, a half link chain also helps

36t, after riding it I realised the gear was pretty low. Might chuck a 16t on the rear

Hey bro, thanks! 36 -18t but have since changed to a 16t. 1/8" chain

@@waveywheelies thank you very much bro!!! Im very grateful 🙏🏽

@@waveywheelies Excellent, yesterday I saw your video and it inspired me by the simplicity of things. I have a mtb and I passed it at a speed, I used: 32/20 (it looks pretty good, I also want to go to the hill)

Riser bars are on the way ✌️

hmm potentially different yes, but could also be the same. Lots of e-bikes are quite different so would have to know more details

Janoskis all day!

cool, yeah that should definitely be possible! 2 main things to note when buying new forks, it will either be 1 1/8" or 1" steerer (most likely 1 1/18) and check if its a threaded headset or threadless. Then double check wheel size and brake mounts. Some forks will have disc mounts and some will have v brake mounts. hope that helps a bit

Its this one here, looks like its out of stock though. Im sure other brands sell similar! www.torpedo7.co.nz/products/T7CGSN9CT/title/single-speed-conversion-kit-with-tensioner

@@waveywheelies thanx. No hadn't seen that type b4...but at $60 they can keep it😜

Thanks bro, and you too! It’s just a single speed cog, so just a normal cassette hub

Could be loads of different things. The first things I would do is check the chain and cassette for wear, then check the adjustment on the gears (indexing) and also check the hanger isn’t bent. But yeah it’s hard to say without seeing/hearing it

waveywheelies Thank you! I’ll try fixing it best I can. Awesome video btw!
