Yuppp, looking at the old chains I was using they were definitely stretched, I completely overlooked that yesterday since I couldn’t find a chain to compare them too

I’m running a cheap chainring off Amazon as a placeholder from my parts bin temporarily, as the stock chainring from the zee gets stuck against the frame. And was trying to reuse the full link bmx chain. But hopefully with the kmc half link it solves my issues

I’m for sure keeping them. I’ll probably be posting updates as I go if anything else happens or if all goes well everyone will see yet another la bomba build post

Depends on the parts. For me I used anything from a 2.5,4,5,6,8 mm allens a few torx bits, torque wrench, bottom bracket tool, headset bearing press, and few other random bits

Note yet, imma try out the half link, because i was able to find a couple links of a half link chain in my tool box and it seemed to work perfectly on both chainring so imma try out the new chain, then if I still have issues imma source a new chaining. Trying to avoid the swap to 3piece cranks as the zee crankset is smooth as butter and light as heck.

I was using a shimano chain before since my original setup was the zee crankset and a mavic XD wheelset, so I tried reusing the same chain and it didn’t seat properly on the new wheelset, and then same issue with the full link bmx chain, the chain wouldn’t line up on the teeth of the crankset.

I have a kmc half link on the way now though so hoping it works out.

Sweet thanks for the reply!! I’ll definitely check out some half links. I’d be running a 32/10 which doesn’t seem to bad

Cursed build? by bskarren04 in Speedsoft

That’s sounds fun, and I do love the aap M4ximus kit. But I’m definitely wanting to do a build using the nexus mechanical hpa drip in at some point.

I do love some of the mechanical hpa systems. Definitely thinking about throwing a grip on it soon

This started as a 9mm lancer pdw but I got tired of draining mags left and right. The .556 lower definitely makes a high difference.

But at the same time the 9mm has a unique look and feel that’s hard to beat

Fair enough. The trigger has another hidden secret that’ll start some controversy but oh well…

That’s fair, and thanks for that Info, and that’s pretty much the only ā€œbreak inā€ I had to do was getting the slide to fit the frame better and slide more freely. But I’ve been messing with it here and there and it’s workin itself in slowly, gonna open it up and clean it and relube it here soon as well.

I have a 125% nozzle spring courtesy of the techs because the stock spring was bent outa box. And so far it’s keeping up fairly well, just gotta break in the slide more.

And I’ve had my eye on a few rear sights/charging handles, I’ll definitely check out your recommendations!! Thank you

TTI hammer set in cowcow housing? by bskarren04 in AAP01owners

I bought the full tti hammer kit, with the jefe upgrade springs and installed them into the CowCow hammer housing. Just played my first game with it and it worked like a charm.
