What did you do to your bike today? (v2)

[Kyle V.]

Was waiting for some parts to come in the mail yesterday and broke down and rebuilt this old Federal from the garage. It's ride-able and comfortable, but the cranks have a strange wobble. I think the crank bosses are a little loose and with each pedal, they shift about a quarter inch back and forth. Otherwise, really solid.




Also got these aloha colorway twisted pc's for my normal bike. Super excited.

That federal foundation always wanted one so bad

The dropouts are giant on the frame, like two inches deep. The frame itself feels around a modern 5.5 pounds, cool little bike.

I bought the new Kink Senec pedals, installed them rode the park for a couple hrs.  My first impression is good. they feel good on the shoes, grippy for nylon, and not a hint of wobble. I ordered 2 more sets. My looseball JC's should be retired

Hoping the last of my parts arrive today so I can finish my Barcode.  Should at least have my brake, cable, and tires deliver, but I have a larger sprocket and pedals that should arrive in the next few days or so.

New Animal MTT tires, Fly Ruben pedals, Fly Manual brake, and Tree cable delivered and was installed last night.  Woke up this morning to a blown front tube, so I am going to grab a few new tubes on the way home tonight.

I swapped the frame, cranks, bars, brakes and pedals onto the federal I had and now I'm using that for my primary bike while I get ready to paint my other frame/bar/forks.




The bearings went in my 9th wheel so I switched to 36/13 on these old Alex wheels that came with the federal complete long ago. The only issue is that the frame I'm using wont fit much over 28t without having a terrible chainline. This is my life now.




The clearance isn't as bad as it could be but I don't have a spacer that gets it any closer without touching.

New Hoffman Razz grips. Had the Cult/Vans grips on for 9 months. It was time for a change.

tuned up the fresh build while hitting some ledges today. seems to roll forever even with big soft tires

Finally got around too putting on my new Sun big city/ Madera cassette wheel and KMC 710 Kool chain on my FBM. I'm building a matching wheel for the front once I buy a Nickle Madera hub.
