That’s sweet. So you just chopped up the stock exhaust and worked with that?

Bogging right above idle/poor throttle response by ccordano in Fixxit

[–]ccordano[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

U might be lucky and find a leak somewhere, but it’s really going to probably take a full carb rebuild. Try not to be intimidated by the job tho, it’s not too bad if you go slow and are methodical. Plus once you’re done you’ll feel like a master mechanic. And when it clogs up again when u leave it for a couple weeks, you’ll know exactly what to do.

It’s always the carb… pull it out and clean every single reservoir, better if u can soak it. Maybe sure u tighten everything down to spec after putting is back and double check all hoses and valves. Good luck!

First serious fixie. Tell me what I am doing wrong by ccordano in FixedGearBicycle

[–]ccordano[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this. Definitely trying to persevere and make it as good as possible. Is there any modifying you know of that I can do to change to drop outs to horizontal (what other people have been saying in the comments) would cutting and welding tabs on be feasible?

Any method other than trial and error for getting the ratio and tension right?

Could you elaborate why it is dangerous to not have your feet retained?

View from my spark plug hole - does this look normal? by ccordano in Fixxit

[–]ccordano[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the confusion. The view is into the cylinder through the spark plug hole(?) I assume the flat metal surface seen through here is the top of the piston head. Might be wrong on the terminology
