noob

From Boise Idaho. Tired of all the expensive scooters and exotics. Wanting to build my own. Nuff said fer now.

Hi Zadman

Plenty of good info on here to bypass some of the pitfalls in the learning stages.

chain alignment is a bitch! I finally (3rd chain, 2nd wheel) have it tracking straight and can actually ride the thing without fear of an exploding chain tensioner or a locked wheel, or both. It sure draws a lot of attention around town. I kinda want a quieter muffler, but the performance is adequate for me. I am a wuss as far as speed on 2 wheels. If going over 25, it's in a car or a truck. I admit to being a cager with a desire to not blow half my paycheck on gas, essentially. I don't think bicycles were intended to go much over 20 mph unless built for olympic racetracks.

Get yourself a SickBikeParts shift kit. You will never go back !!!
