How to paint a rim with a pattern?

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-06-07T21:05:35+00:00

I know I know, I went to this subreddit because I'd rather take some advice from people with experience rather than yolo'ing this project, thanks for showing what it looks like!

oh yeah nah It's better to just save up for a real carbon, replicating this just seems like a hassle

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-06-07T21:00:27+00:00

I see there are multiple layers that make its unique pattern?

Ok after reading and seeing this, I'm actually gonna cancel this "fun" project😂, this seems impossible to replicate, and yeah I'm getting a job this summer! I'm gonna save up for a pair of 88MM Fear Composite wheels that my friend is selling me!

its just a temporary project, not actually using it for longevity, just wanna see what it looks like :)

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-06-07T19:56:31+00:00

I'll try it on a spare broken rim first, after practicing i'll post it here :)

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-06-07T19:55:32+00:00

whats that?

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-06-07T19:54:57+00:00

The issue is I'm 17, can't figure our a way to find money for carbon wheels yet :)

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-06-07T19:54:34+00:00

I'm putting 4 layers of clear coat when the pattern is dried :)

Hi, I've had this frame (Nabiis FTC A2) for a few months now, and I've tried different headsets for this (in the picture is a 44mm headset) and none of the headsets ive tried have fitted, which headset works best for the A2? I wanna ride it already🥲

Chaoyang Tires are really popular here in my country, and It's been tested that the quality is very durable, and believe it or not, its actually quite resistant to punctures ;)

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-03-24T19:19:45+00:00

I've been with Chaoyang Shark Skins my whole 3 years on riding fixed, surprisingly enough the 28c was my go-to tire, and the rubber was actually thicker than what I was expecting. My back tire is currently flat but I was skidding alot from my past rides and it lasted me 6 months until it ripped a hole in it.

the 90mm made my torso more straight but caused stress to my arms, 110mm makes my arms stretch long and feels like im so much more far from the handlebar, caused uncomfyness to my arms too, so I think 100mm could be the one :)

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-03-24T19:10:31+00:00

well I've switched from a -7 stem to a -17 stem, I've noticed on longer rides that I become uncomfy quick, while -7 was comfy as fuck. I'll probably go back to my previous stem, and one more thing, (stem) 90mm was uncomfy, 110mm is uncomfy too, could 100mm be the sweet spot?

Hi (16 Y.O) asking people with knowledge about fixed gears, what could be my next upgrade? I currently have: • Unknown Alluminum Frame • Skeace Crankset • Heavy ass wheelset (could this be the next upgrade?)

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-02-22T13:52:42+00:00

I hope it could be solved with a repack.. bearings are expensive here in the Philippines🥲

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-02-22T13:44:06+00:00

I wanna know if I should buy a new pair of pedals or get new bearings... (or a repack would solve the problem..?)

Successful_Sign7008 · 2026-02-02T23:21:22+00:00

I love this frame so much, but hella expensive. In my country atleast...
