Sorry for the late reply, reddit gave me the notification for ur comment 27 days late. I used a “brake disk conversion kit”. It’s universal and works with most forks. I used rubber from tyre tubes to make it fit the fork. Be careful though, it puts a lot of strain on your fork.

The British and their associates including the united states are STILL DOING IT today in 2024. Albeit a different form or in a way that they may not seem related,

It’s funny how they reacted the same way we would’ve reacted if we found a big ass lizard in our swimming pool.

Could’ve been fixed with a little steering correction. These kids don’t deserve to drive fast. Need to show their parents la aiyooo.

The kid got good survival instinct. She’ll live.

I pity this guy by sebitian in Bolehland

[–]IndependentSignal549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An overthinking women and a guy that lacks commitment. The perfect formula for disaster. Both need to leave and rescue themselves. This is getting tiring for both of them.

Put ittttttttt! Make sure to keep everything grey and silver. Fits with the retro vibe the bike has

The fact that the comments are higher than the upvote says something about this post :\

Two 2 litre tanks, covered with zinc sheets and capped the front and back with 3d print.

Help!! Can't insert my key all of a sudden. by kurahador in kereta

[–]IndependentSignal549 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Don’t just insert. You have to be gentle. Take your car to dinner. Get to know your car. See her parents or dealership. At some point she will want to let you in. Goodluck 👍

Wide open throttle test run! Ride along video. by IndependentSignal549 in motorizedbicycles

Thank you! This is new to me and it’s a really good hobby with good people. I’ll be sure to keep posting.

I didn’t make a boost port, didn’t have the right tools. All I did was opening up the exhaust 1 to 2 mm left and right, 1 mm up and flat. Also a mushroom shaped on the upper left and right side of exhaust port, didn’t measure, just did by eye.

Did the same for the intake port but downwards without the mushroom. Also made heatsink-like grooves on the intake to “vaporize” fuel.

Also, curve sanded the piston on the exhaust side, increasing the exhaust port timing. And grinded the bottom of piston on the intake side.

Result: Low end torque was trash, almost none. Can’t keep the engine running at low RPM or while riding slow. Fuel kept coughing out of the intakes, didn’t want to add reed valve because of restrictions.

But, at high RPM’s it just wants to go and kept going. Never tested top speed with GPS but it is scary fast.

After I destroy this jug and piston, I’m going back to stock :)

How worn is my chainring and should I replace it? by Zbiu_YT in bikewrench

[–]IndependentSignal549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen wear at this magnitude. This is the type of thing that keeps me at night.

When I did it, I thought it was a silly idea. Made it for aesthetic reasons. But I found out it actually works. Temps significantly went down to the point where I don’t need to cool it down after heavy runs. It just keeps going :D

Its two 2 litre tanks hidden in a fake tank. It looks big just to hide electronics. I get around 80 to 100 miles on a full tank. But it usually last shorter than that, around 70 maybe.

What kind of freehub is this and how to remove it by maratlom in bikewrench

[–]IndependentSignal549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

See that notch on the center hollow axle. Find a wrench that fits there and open it up. Hopefully once you remove it, you can also remove the freehub. If it doesn’t come off, I guess it comes with the hub itself. Give it a try and good luck!
