The Bike Shop / What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

« on: March 06, 2013, 10:22:59 PM »

I threw a Vandero 2 guard on my front wheel a few days ago, and it's been spinning like shit ever since. It used to be that I could give my wheel a good spin with my hand and it'd keep going for a few minutes. Now it'll go around a few times and come to a stop. I'm fairly sure that the wheel bolts are a bit bent, so that could be it, because it spins just fine when the wheel is loose.

I don't really notice it too much when i'm riding, but i'm assuming the rolling resistance is still there. Anybody have any other ideas why this is happening, or how to fix it?

Search tool, you will find plenty of advice re this.

Wasn't the Colony prototype built by Zodiac?

Maybe I'm mistaken.

Sneak peak at Colony's KHE style coaster from their instagram and on BMX union.
I like the threaded hub guard.

"There was word that Colony was “maybe” doing a freecoaster a few months back. They just dropped this photo on Instagram a minute ago with this caption to go with it “Colony Freecoaster. Male or female axle RHD or LHD. Out November.” … Looks like they decided to put it into production along with a hub guar to go with it! Expect more info on this closer to its release or at Interbike in September."

Looks tidy.

Haha shemale.

My little contribution.
This is a Affix/KHE style coaster I machined down.
I turned down the non drive side flange and re-drilled the holes.
I femaled the axle and extended the thread in the non drive side so the thicker cone nut can be replaced by a thinner one giving more room for a hub guard. I also made a narrower non drive cone to give more room as well.
It has a thrust bearing behind the clutch, and I've been looking into bushings for the driver.
The lower shots have older B6 ti bolts.

Kinda similar to a Greyhound then I guess. I regards to the shell anyway.
