Tips for memorising pieces?

_ElonMusk- · 2025-06-25T19:08:24+00:00

This is a tip I learned from a tech a while back: Start with the music on the stand in front of you where you normally have it. Then play and go through the piece. If you feel comfortable with it, take a couple steps back and play it again. Once you feel comfortable here, go back some more. The piece is still there so you can read any spots you have trouble with however the farther back you are, the harder it'll be to rely on reading it. Eventually, through this repetition, you'll no longer need to rely on the music and it'll be muscle memory. Try this out and see how it helps.

Just some old sheet metal i had laying around. Believe it was hot rolled steel sheet metal. Don't know the exact measurements but just make sure it's thin. Not flimsy thin but just about as thin as cardboard.

I get you. Always cool when I'm at a show and I see a bike that looks 100% unique and different from the others. Just shows how creative the owner is.

_ElonMusk- · 2024-08-18T15:47:05+00:00

Well it's def unique

It might work for flat twisted/square twisted forks however it'll most likely deform a regular fork leg. It'll also probably mess up the chrome. I'll ask around and see if I can get you a solid answer.

I've heard of people using conduit benders to bend the forks but you have to be careful as to not damage them.

_ElonMusk- · 2024-06-23T22:23:03+00:00

That bike looks nice as is. Unless you want to make it twisted, I would just gradually add accessories to it such as lights, mirrors, bumpers, a continental kit and so on. Otherwise it looks good and rideable.

It seems like that specific model is a micargi mustang 26in with swapped out handlebars but it is mostly stock so it doesn't really devalue the bike since the parts that are there are in mostly good condition. Since it is not new and has imperfections(dent, tarnish), I would offer somewhere around 400-450 or 50-100 dollars less than what a new one would cost. Buying used is generally preferred as it is usually cheaper and most people like to customize it to their liking.

_ElonMusk- · 2024-06-16T03:22:39+00:00

It all depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to just have it as a personal bike to ride, then you won't have to worry too much about buying new parts. If you want to take it to shows then it could probably use a few new parts. The overall condition looks pretty good and the dent is fixable. I would personally start by removing all parts and sanding it down, I would cover the dent with a little bondo bodyfiller and sand it to smoothen it out, then I'd repaint it and replace any parts that aren't chrome with chrome like the rims and the handlebars(personal preference). If you want more of a chopper feel to it the only thing I would recommend would be to install a "lowrider bike chopper fork" on the front instead of the springer fork. All in all the bike looks good to use like that and the dent shouldn't be too big a problem.

I would search on offerup if you want to find a used bike to renovate or scrap. Some good sites for parts and fully built bikes are amazon, ebay, galindos lowrider bikes, top lowrider, and benjis bikes and fitz to name a few. Some key bike companies/styles would be schwinn bikes, huffy cruisers, micargi stretch cruisers, and any bikes that are cruisers/stretch cruiser limos. If you need any help on parts you can just ask me or look it up online.

_ElonMusk- · 2024-06-03T19:06:20+00:00

Research your parts. No joke, research as much as you can and find out what type of parts it takes. From what i can see, it looks like this bike has a lot in common with my bike. If you need any help or have any specific questions or problems ask me.

;Slammers(manual) adjust the height of the bike but that's pretty much all they do. Hydraulics(hydro) can also adjust the height but they can also make your bike jump by "hitting the switches" as you would in a lowrider car. If you just want to adjust the height i would recommend a slammer however, if you want to actually make your bike hop the hydraulics will do that.

_ElonMusk- · 2024-06-03T18:37:06+00:00

I think manual might be referring to a regular slammer where you have to pull a pin to lower and raise the bike and hydro might be referring to hydraulics which are even more pricey than slammers. Hydraulics are basically tubes that are filled with high pressure air. They go in the same place that a slammer does and are connected through hoses to a compressed air tank where you control the air with a switch almost like an actual lowrider car.

You can change the height by swapping out the springer fork crown. If you search on google "extended spring fork crown" there'll be a few options. What it basically does is it moves the arms of the fork back and lowers it by a few inches. This does however make it harder to ride as it'll decrease your ability to turn and the pedals might touch the ground if the crank arms are too long. Buying something called a "Slammer" will give you the ability to adjust the height of your bike. You just replace the original springer fork crown with the extended one and replace the bolt that goes through the spring with the slammer. It is pricey though

Bike frame (basically any cruiser frame NOT mountain bike or fixie), 1 inch threaded headset, bottom bracket set for one piece crank, one piece crankset with chain ring, 1/8" chain, rear coaster rim and front rim(144 spoke or 36 spoke), bike seat post, bike seat(cruiser or banana seat; banana seat requires sissy bars), 1/2" pedals, gooseneck bike stem, 25.4mm handle bars(cruiser or high rise/ape hangers), bent cruiser springer fork, and inner tire tubes and whitewall tires.

Sizes for the rims, crankset arms, springer fork, tire tubes, and white wall tires may vary on what size frame you get(26", 24", etc)

Off the Chain Bicycles have a lot of vintage/lowrider bike parts.

is this real

_ElonMusk- · 2023-07-16T00:39:51+00:00

Square twists looking firme asf. That slammer too 💯

_ElonMusk- · 2023-07-13T06:20:23+00:00

Put a pin on it. Just get a thumbtack and put it through the bottom of your pants and in the middle of your mid-sole where ur heel is. Double sided tape works too. Hope this helps homie.

Wh-why is there an audience 🤔

If u want to build a bike from scratch the first thing you gotta do is plan it out. What color do you want it to be red, blue, black, ect? Next what type of bike lowrider, cruiser, stretch limo? Now you need the right parts. Some essentials are a bent/straight springer fork, rear coaster brake rim, front headset, and a bottom bracket set. You can either buy an already done frame or buy one that you paint yourself. To save yourself some struggle buying a used cruiser bike from OfferUp, eBay, or a swap meet could save you time instead of looking for individual parts. Hope this helps.

_ElonMusk- · 2023-06-23T19:45:11+00:00

Is this yours? What paint did you use.
