[xy9ine]

[Knuckleslammer]

Orded a 440mm thompson from Phat tire. Took me 7 hours to find one. JEESH. Anyhow, you guys should see this bike. I have it amost builded. Ima hafta put hayes brakes on it till I get another 500 for the hope m4's. Anyhow with the wingbars and what I've done with the shiver SC, you gotta se it, (in my Paul Sr. from Orange County Choppers voice)
It's REE DICK ULOUS
I'll have some pics up Sunday evening

Knuck

 

[macmx]

Nice knucks! What tires you runnin?

Just put an Arrow Flow tire on my backwheel on my SS XL. It's very, very slim. Not too much tracking but very snappy... Me like. Ged runs dual Flow's on his FQ! So small. Can't image how his bike must feel. Weird...

 

[Knuckleslammer]

I don't know sh*t about tires, but this was probably a mistake
2.75's

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

Arrow's rule!

 

[AR_]

My god those tyres look outright dangerous! Take some-ones eye out with them!

 

[Knuckleslammer]

Arrow's rule!

I hope I never have to mount another arrow tire in my entire life. Those 2.7 arrows + nokian DH tubes = 14lb wheelset :nuts:

What rims do you have? I know you wont take your tires back off but i suggest running ghetto tubless. I have Arrow rims and arrow 2.7" tires and the way they went together with the ghetto tubless treatment, i swear they are almost UST out of the box without the tubes. They seal very well and as heavy as the tires are, i doubt you'll ever flat again.

Cool! Nice bike dude, but you didn't show us a birdseye view, all the reast were there.

 

[Duzitall]

[Sverre]

Nice job Knunkle!!

[seismic]

nice !

 

[macmx]

Very cool bike. Now we wanna see some riding shots. Good job.

 

[UiUiUiUi]

looks really cool!

except for that wingbar...
but oh well who wants to discuss personal preferences?

 

[Shortbus]

Very nice knucks. Haf fun on her. So what number did u get? 13 or 14?

 

[Funky Monk]

Ridiculously sick build...congrats man.

 

[macmx]

Streetsweeper with 26"'s? What going on?

 

[nickaziz]

Is "street sweeper" the other name for the park bike? If so, I don't think that's what that pic is. Looks more like a new hardtail hucker...

 

[macmx]

No the Streetsweeper is a different bike.

"Hardtail Hucker" LOL.

 

[nickaziz]

LOL yeah i mean like the IMP or Morphine or whatever.

It wasnt available in 04 was it? Not on the site...

 

[macmx]

There's no such thing as a hardtail hucker...

Someone tell me why the hell that SS has 26's...!

 

[Funky Monk]

wow, an eccentric bb brooklyn hardtail? a proto obviously...and maybe it's a 26" compatible SS...

 

[Shortbus]

those chainstays are humongous.

 

[stussy2k]

hey. PM xy9ine. He pressed out the pivot of his TMX and said it wasnt hard to do. I sent my frame to BMW cause i was chicken to try and press out the pivot for fear of damaging the aluminum sleeve and it took almost 3 months to get it back. I didnt care cause it was being done "over the winter" when i was not riding. They did a killer job and included all new nuts, bolts, washers, stickers ETC.

What color(s) are ya thinkin ??

joel

Humm... worth while considering... It's Chris Ps old TMX and was white before but it got repainted in metal flaky black, but the paint's chipping off - suddenly it doesnt look that good with nail polish spots all over!
Dunno, white front, yellow/gold back... tend to prefer some kind of color combo, or red front, white/black back..
Any suggestions of devish colour schemes are welcome :evil:

 

[AR_]

I'm really not feeling that Street Sweeper vibe... Doesn't look like it's made by brooklyn at all.

 

[Knuckleslammer]

looks really cool!

except for that wingbar...
but oh well who wants to discuss personal preferences?

Yeah, I'm on the fence with the wingbar. Don't know if I like it or not.

 

[nickaziz]

There's no such thing as a hardtail hucker...

Oh no of course not, that's why tons of people have monsters on imperials and morphines....

Someone tell me why the hell that SS has 26's...!

A lot of people prefer dual 26. Personally I would argue an "SS" bike should only have 20" wheels, but a lot of people have a hard time adapting between geometries, so they prefer to keep the same wheel size across all their bikes.

 

[nickaziz]

wow, an eccentric bb brooklyn hardtail? a proto obviously...and maybe it's a 26" compatible SS...

The eccentric might be used to create chain tension, or it might just be all they had around the shop to stick into the bmx bb shell.

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

Knuckle,

WOW. The attention to detail is amazing. Your bike sure did turn out very nice. so have you been sitting there just staring at your bike? That's what i do when i build a new ride.


Is this the Hadley axle or a BMW axle? Dang that looks good. Im going to order a spare derailleur hanger with mine - just in case!

Thanks chief, I put a sh*tload of pride into this build. I just stare at it and think to myself over and over "this thing is ridiculous ". Yeah I frign stare at it till my eyes get glazed over. My wife comes out in the garage "are you gonna stare at that out here all night?"
I'm like "nope, I'm gonna bring it upstairs and stare at it"
So I watch TV with her (I hate TV) and stare at my bike, so I kill 2 birds with one stone. Cuddle with the wife and get my rocks off staring at my bike.
What a nut ha?
It's a 10mm axle for the hadley hub. I got the wheels from a cat on RM for like 350 or so I think? Then the axle was 40 or whatever. I'm still waiting on my (ODD SIZED 29.8 ) seatpost to arrive as the one on there is non functioning and held in by tape so I can't really ride it and sit on it. I did pedal it a bit on the street and it seems hard to pedal. I'm assuming it's because of those 2.7 Arrow dirt bike tires. Do you guys suggest anything else? Also I was wondering what does changing the sprocket on the left side do (the one attached to the crank on the left)
I'm assuming that if you go lower from a 28 it makes it easier to pedal, but tops out quicker. Is that right or do I have it backwards?

Kevin, LOL. My previous apartment had a garage as the first level and I would spend hours sitting in a chair( freezing cold in a thick jacket) listening to the radio and staring at my bike. Thankfully i didnt have anyone asking me what the hell i was doing. Kinda like peeing the bed, eating a booger, or rubbing one out - not something you'd like getting caught doing. kidding (2 of the 3 anyway).

Anyway,
The 28 tooth is way too much gear for street riding IMO. Get a 25 tooth chainwheel and it will pedal perfectly for you. That's what i used and i know Shortbus has a 25 tooth in his bmw too.

Didnt your frame come with a rear axle?

The drop out is too sweet. what do the set screws do?

And how about the links where the shock is mounted? Cool or what ?? I saw my first racelink a couple weeks ago. How did they ever engineer that link system. Soo trick!


joel

 

[Jimmy_Pop]

You can get these in black and 25 tooth.

 

[AR_]

Those profiles rings are gorgeous. I'm going to replace all of my front chainrings soon methinks, there all looking a little worse for wear.
