My first Mini bike build

[kibble]

It looks like some sort of fiberglass fabric. They use some stuff that looks similar to that in electronics. Usually on resistors that get hot, I guess so that they won't burn stuff around them.

princess auto will usually take it back without any questions, unless u spray paint it.

sounds good then.
I have been waiting for parts to come in cant wait to finish it. I go out said and start the engine a couple times a day i just love the sound of it.

 

[chevy6]

Finally i got a chance to get back to the bike and do a little work.

Where did you get that rear tire? Is it close to 12 inches tall and is the axle 1/2?

 

[chevy6]

its is a pocket drit bike tire and the axle is 12mm

 

[2or3wheels]

i think thats 1/2 inch, how much did that cost and did it come with berrings and a sproket?

 

[robin]

12mm is 0.472440945 inches

i payed 40$ shipped to my house yes it came with barrings and a sprocket. But the the sprocket is a #25. So i just went to princess auto and got a 35# sprocket and it comes with a brake disk just had to buy the calipers for 30$ shipped to my house. And i got it all from eBay.

 

[2or3wheels]

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I NEED I found on for 30 plus shipping. Ill see if that cheaper. Anyone know how much a jackshft would cost?

 

[chevy6]

i have looked at them and they look to be around $20 to $30

 

[2or3wheels]

A new sproket for the tires is 10 bucks and i think its free shipping because of the tire so i think im going to just go with that.

 

[chevy6]

Here are some new pics of the bike. Theres no engine in it because it blow up. and waiting for princess auto to get more in so i can try another one.

 

[2or3wheels]

I like the suspension and the big footpegs.

 

[chevy6]

The new engine finally came but having some trouble fitting the engine with the new shocks

 

[2or3wheels]

that must suck

 

[chevy6]

got everything working had it going up and down the sidewalk in front of the house. This thing is FAST! When you when you slow do she does speed wibbles.

 

[2or3wheels]

you mean when you slow down the handle bars wiggle?

 

[chevy6]

Yes that is what I mean

 

[2or3wheels]

maybe lengthen the bars some, give you more leverage.
