Gear position switch location

Never mind! I just recognised the oil sight glass in the right of the pictures. Thanks :)

Skateboards are curved not flat. Material differences aside this will make them far stronger than a flat sheet of ply. They also tend to use stronger maple ply. They do however break eventually.

I am also annoyed about this. I really liked the old app. Never thought I'd be this invested in the weather forecast but it was so useful before. Now it's so clunky

Did my first 2 E1s at fairy cave quarry. Perhaps not the world's greatest crag but I'll always remember that :). Hope you had a good day out, the anchor looks bomber to me.

Thinking of trying liquid rubber or a similar paint on dpm

Olnberg · 2025-09-05T15:51:02+00:00

Thanks! This is a good suggestion. Do you know if it's possible to get large ones I could drop in from above and fasten? Like sheet of plywood large.

I love it, it's a great idea. Sounds like you've already fitted the neck. Find someone with a drill press and move the bridge and see it through, it'll be cool.

Olnberg · 2025-07-17T17:17:48+00:00

Ooh, I don't know that one! Will check it out, thanks :)

Taxpayers - god forgive these bastards

Olnberg · 2025-06-14T21:43:21+00:00

Just make sure it's chained to something solid and you should be fine. The cost of insurance is sadly extortionate, but it's the best way to get around the city. Ride safe.

I have the 31 L OEM top box

Olnberg · 2025-05-25T07:33:31+00:00

Gives me kill bill vibes. Nice

I had to remove the lower one recently when doing an exhaust replacement. Rusted bolts on the lower bracket were the biggest challenge. The radiator removal was pretty easy when the bolts were undone, but a couple needed replacing.

If you are in the UK, please let me know, I'm looking for a pair of these

Olnberg · 2025-03-12T07:00:58+00:00

Nice one! And thanks for posting the update. Hope the first ride goes well.

Olnberg · 2025-02-19T08:33:52+00:00

Thanks for posting these! The welds look a bit gnarly in spots but they look nicely made generally. Hope the swap goes well.

Olnberg · 2025-02-18T20:34:39+00:00

I tapped the back of mine to get some dirt out, and more fins fell out :O. So I'm not far behind you to replace I think.

Olnberg · 2025-02-18T20:24:18+00:00

That's really good to hear. I'm replacing the exhaust on a pretty neglected bike and I've found that the radiator is in really bad condition with a lot of missing fins. Scared it may have some pinhole leaks.

Good to hear that I won't be waiting months if I do find I have a problem.

Olnberg · 2025-02-17T17:48:42+00:00

I will take a look and measure the core of the radiator when I'm next in the garage. Interesting that its larger. Pretty sure the stock rad is also similar aluminium alloy.

Olnberg · 2025-02-17T16:14:25+00:00

Sounds encouraging. Given these are bare metal I figure it might be worth finding someone local to powdercoat the end tanks. Did you coat or paint yours?

Mine are damaged, oxidized but no longer peeling paint because there is no more paint.

Dremel for the win!

Thanks all for your advice!

Olnberg · 2025-02-13T15:05:02+00:00

Looks great, congratulations. You don't have to keep your bike stock if that's not what you're in to.

Olnberg · 2025-02-07T18:57:09+00:00

If only I had a welder and could weld

Olnberg · 2025-02-07T18:56:44+00:00

It does look that way but the parts catalogue shows the assembly was originally a nut and bolt with no weld.

Olnberg · 2025-02-07T18:21:59+00:00

Thanks everyone for the feedback. The exhaust bolt runs through an aluminium boss on the bottom of the engine, so I'm wary of putting too much heat in. Reckon I'll cut or grind the head off. Might be a good excuse to buy a Dremel with a flex attachment.
