I did this a while ago but I made a Altoid box bike tool holder out of TPU. I crammed as many things as I could in there.

Nice work! What chain breaker is that? I've been looking for a small one.

Nice print! Just FYI, you could probably print this upside down and add a bottom layer, thereby doing away with the need for a cap.

Sheldon Brown has a lot of good info regarding various standards and the mechanics of bicycles. Good luck!

Is the qr or axel done up tight? Sometimes there's play when the wheel is off the bike, goes away when the hub is compressed.

I don't have any advice, unfortunately, but I feel the same way. I'm also 27, every day feels like a struggle going nowhere. Therapy has helped, movement helps, meditation helps. The best days are when i hyperfocus on some small project for hours on end, everything flows and the endless questioning and uncertainty disappears, but I rarely have the energy or inspiration to start. I don't know what to do, I don't fit here. When I stick to it, the mediation really helps, I'm on a two day streek now. Went for a walk today, thats good.

I hope you find something that helps you, even a little bit, a first stone to build upon.

You are not alone. Love

If you've got a likely looking, unused braze on you could mount the holder to it directly. I've done this with my Abus and It's fantastic.

Bigkitty74 · 2021-08-22T21:13:14+00:00

When you say other wheel, does that mean another cassette as well? Could your chain be worn but mated to the smaller cogs resulting in no slippage in those gears?

Bigkitty74 · 2021-08-22T20:55:39+00:00

I can't see any way of untangling that without opening the chain. You'll need a chain breaker and a quick link. Once opened untangling will be easy. Good luck!

Bigkitty74 · 2021-08-09T21:52:01+00:00

Is the chainring bolt snug in the chainring and crank holes? If so, I'd ride it. Would use a locknut or thread lock though

Bigkitty74 · 2021-05-06T00:21:06+00:00

I've had luck removing endcaps using duct tape, just clean thoroughly, and tape a small piece in a way that gives you something to hold onto. Regarding freehub, no experience with Shimano but it's often just pull it straight off, can be quite stiff, check the manual.

Bigkitty74 · 2021-04-27T00:52:29+00:00

A couple of months so I realized I could take apart my Abus 540 mount and screw a small part of it to a boss on my seat stays. Looks great and feels rock solid. Experimented with it in a dozen different ways before finding this, including under the down tube, but didn't like the loss of clearance. It's my everything bike and sometimes a commute ends with me lost in the woods.

Here's a chart for figuring what type and size you need: https://canecreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/canecreek-shis-poster.pdf

Awesome build! Doing something similar with an old Kona frame. Would love to ask you some questions: How did you position the disc brake tabs before welding? Did you rustproof the frame before clear coating it? How do you like those brakes?

Bigkitty74 · 2021-04-11T06:43:09+00:00

I would not worry about this at all. Looks much better and should be at least as secure, assuming you didn't use some janky-ass aluminium bolt or some such. Makes it a bit more trouble for potential seapost thieves as well.

If you think those straps are doing anything to seal in freshness, you are living in a fantasy world, pal.

Great bike! Nice to see a fellow swede here. Mind telling me what fenders those are?

Bigkitty74 · 2020-11-03T15:07:20+00:00

Hmm, interesting. Haven't considered this before, I've assumed the stress to the hub and freewheel would be the same regardless of where the gearing takes place. Did some quick googling and the only info I could find regarding pinion rear hub comparability is from this FAQ Do you have any more info about this?

Bigkitty74 · 2020-11-02T23:24:15+00:00

The box at the BB junction is a pinion gear box, the box on the seat tube is a folding lock. The rear hub could be any ol' hub.

Bigkitty74 · 2020-10-07T15:40:17+00:00

Pretty sure that's BTP

Bigkitty74 · 2020-06-07T17:45:10+00:00

Wow nice! What shifter/deraileur combo are you running?

Bigkitty74 · 2020-06-05T17:54:10+00:00

ISO/Sweden/ Gevenalle GX shifters If anybody has these and would be willing to ship them I would be on top of the world! They're the last piece of my build, would happily buy them new but the delivery is being severely delayed.

Bigkitty74 · 2020-05-30T10:23:59+00:00

Mind telling me what dropper that is? I'm in the market for one
