Tightened up the spokes on the back wheel.

it went through already. i had a lot of money to play with and had to choose what parts to get and wait i could chill on. i still got a little left but not enough for the stem after shipping a few things. but next week it should be close to done.

S'all good then. looking forward to seeing your bike built up with the new parts!

About to go rip into my virgin Odyssey Reloader hub to give it some more slack. Let the devirginization commence!

aaaaaaaaaaaand the first 15 seconds I have the hub apart I drop one of the clutch springs. Just searched everywhere trying to find it. No luck. FML.

Neglected it again. Need a new barrel adjuster for gyro plate and some lube for the cables, and there's a creaky cross of spokes in the front wheel.

Also been meaning to go back to 28:9 from 30:9 (actually I was on 27:9 but I broke that sprocket and I only have a 28t) because I live in a hilly area & my legs cane after each ride.

Also been meaning to tension/true rear wheel and put my new front tire on

You could use this as an opportunity to try other springs and see how you like them. Nankai spring has a good rep

I'm working with a few other friends to build a free public skills park for local riders to shred, have fun and progress their skills. Most of our stuff right now is elementary skill based but this saturday and sunday I'll have a Cat out to help build the jump lines.

I'm trying to save time to focus on making the most of our time with the rented Cat so I'm building the trick booter at my house.

Right now it sits at 4ft tall with an 8ft radius. I still need to add the top 2ft for a grand total of 6ft. I also need to cross brace it and add the back-half framing.
We'll be launching into a dredge spoil/sand setup for a soft landing to learn tricks into.

I'm building this thing solo in my garage so I tried to do a little "self photography" work with a tripod and point and shoot.
