    Rebuilding/overhauling an old bike

    I figured it changed it... I was just wondering how it would react differently. looks almost like it would lift the rear of the bike about an inch.

    What do you guys use for elbow/forearm protection

    I don't wear anything but a helmet. I ride the same trails every day, I know where everything is and nothing sneaks up on me. Only time I wrecked up there was when I did it on my bmx bike. Damn 20 inch wheels don't get over rocks as well as mtb. I still made a pretty good time though. On the...

    Rebuilding/overhauling an old bike

    On the swing arm, where the rear of the shock mounts. There are two holes, one high and one low. What happens if I move it to the top hole?

    Rebuilding/overhauling an old bike

    I'm broke, The wanted ad is gonna have to wait. My truck needs the money worse than my bike does. I just keep telling myself I'll be able to climb hills like nobody else if I can do it with this ****ty fork.

    Rebuilding/overhauling an old bike

    Just got the crankset I ordered. These things are like 1/4 the weight of my old one. I thought I got grips, but I opened it and it was a crank. Holy fricken modern technology. I had my old fork apart, Turns out it doesn't have seals??? It is like a bushing. Since I spent all my money on...

    Rebuilding/overhauling an old bike

    I'll think about doing it... I really don't know. I don't think it would last real long before it all strips off.

    Rebuilding/overhauling an old bike

    Thanks man, Now I know what to look for. :thumb: Do you think it would be stupid to paint the frame since I'm going to strip it down anyways? I'm thinking flat green frame and flat black swing arm. Paint is pretty chipped up. I mean, I can deal with it, but itd give me something to do while I...

    Rebuilding/overhauling an old bike

    The fork is what I'm worried about too, Right now my fork is blown, so whatever I can get for 200 bucks will do for now, there are a bunch of take-offs on ebay, low end ones, suntours, but like I said, I have a blown suntour now, so its not gonna be any worse. Thumbs up on those wheels. I was...

    Rebuilding/overhauling an old bike

    Believe me, if I had the money to buy a new bike I would, the question is, do I have enough money to buy anything worthwhile? Like I said, this frame hasn't broke yet, so its good enough for me. 500 bucks can upgrade this, but 500 bucks would probably get me a basket case of a bike, and not near...

    Rebuilding/overhauling an old bike

    I have a giant warp ds2 and I love it. It is in need of a crankset and front forks. I figure while I'm at it I might as well rebuild everything. i have some ideas for parts, and my budget is around 500 bucks (spread out over the summer, I'm building a truck too). The first thing I want to get is...
