They were selling 12" lengths then, I cut it in 2 for my MTB wheels. But now they only seem to sell upto 8" long
studs. Does anyone know anyone else that sells bike axle BSCY studs or threaded rod as its known?

Hey guys,
Found this really cool discussion board on bike rods, I'm sure some of
you are quite familiar with it, founded by these bike rod bros from
the US. You are going to see what the best bike rods look in the world!!!
Great on how to's, too...

Hey guys,
So what about our 7 day challenge if anyone cares???
Listed a pic on the homepage of the rear end we put on,
Supercharger 310mm . Bike sits on its own without a need for a
kickstand. My ass is still bigger though.
Well as for the rest of the bike: Well, we got it rolling on the
seventh evening , I'll post a pic of that in the next few days. But we
can't give away too many details...
We have been working on the bike after that till now, just about 2
months, progress has been slower since our challenge, but we did a
hell of a lot during that time. The only things we didn't manage to
finish during the challenge was the front end, due really to the
difficulty of finding an appropriate front wheel and then custom
building a fork for it. Also, we didn't have time to finish the paint,
but that comes with out saying. That is a whole other project.
Since the challenge, we have completed the front end with wheel. I
must say it is WILD! Lot's of the bits we created on this bike has
spurned many more custom bike rod related ideas. And some of these
bits we may consider producing for our boys out there if you like them???
Chunky and I feel committed to the art and hope we will help others
get pumped as well,
Happy Building guys,
Make

i had to share this with you guys cos it's cool as fuck.
it was taken by my wench who was pissing around on her
generic chopper copy on a nut shrinking ride out this sunday.
i shopped it to fack when we got home, death warmed up? :D
my chop' has been a totally reliable ride this summer
after a few teething problems, but doesn't every ride
have 'em, don't buy cheap bearings off ebay is all i can
say. the only changes i'm making this winter to it is a
new pair of maxxis urban boots and a different set of bars
as i can't fault it otherwise.
on another note i have managed to source a pair of Kona
Chopsticks with triple clamp, they are the jobbies used
on the HotRod model. £80 sweet. have some ideas for the
rest of the bike but a nudge in the right direction would
be nice. they are made from 1 1/2 chromoloy tubing with
5mm front dropouts and about 6ft long!! i can see a mad
rake job soon. and on a note to cycle manufactures, stop
with the alu' frames, i can't cut/bend/weld them for shit.
take care and keep the frost off ya nuts! :)
..tone..
I was just in Tescos and one of there leaflets had a Tandem on it.
Its a ladyback tandem that looks like its from the sixties, its badly
set up and its got a bent crank. It looks like a Scwinn or something.
Its got a cruiser style frame and the back handlebars have a tube
that goes down to the front BB shell. Its dark red with a single
sided drive line using ashtabula cranks and a tension wheel instead
of excentric BB cups.
What kind of bike is it? When will I see one abandoned in a field
near me?

GOOD LUCK GUYS! shame some of us have a 9-5.
looking forwards to the finished beasty. :)

The first day we design...
Hey guys over the next week we are building a bike rod project here in
Oxford, UK.
Chunky from Chelmsford has come down to lend a hand and over the next
week ,we are getting a few other guys to help out as well.
We have Doug from APEX performance to help out with the paint, also
Sparky Jules to help out with lighting (he's got crazy ideas). And a
few of the local bike boys to help out during the week. We also have
our very own ambience manager (Flipper) to take care of the overall
environment, eg.. music, lighting, extra-activities, food, inspiration
etc...
If any of you guys want to come down and help as well, send us an
email or give me a call 07966 594 823 , we have loads of activities
planned and plenty of room if you want to stay over.
Today, Sunday we are designing and planning for the next week ahead,
good time to get involved but if you can't I will post a daily account
on the site with pics...
Lates bros,

Hi,
I'm new to bike building and I looked around the NEt but didn't find
any interesting info about frame sizing.
I want to design a bicycle for myself and I would like to know how to
scale/project the frame to fit my size, as the seat won't move (can't
be regulated when the bike is finished).
Thanks for any tip

Hi!
I'm sending some fotos of a bike which I made.
.
First, there is NO PAINT on that bike because I'm not going to paint
it at all.
there's ONLY CLEAR powder LACK on it and that's finally finished.
Maybe some
day I'll make some little pinstripes on it but I'm not sure yet.
.
I make all 'modifications' by myself. Wiring, and painting rims.
Welding and
designing frame and front end. Seat, bars, fenders.. all.
.
Wheel base of bike is about 256cm (more than my old Citroen) and the
bike is about
81cm high. Wheels are 26".
.
It's extremely hard to drive but after few days it goes like dancing
while drunk! ;) And driving is so funny that I do it almost every day.

Hey guys ,
I found a web site of some cool choppers, cruisers, and lowriders of
some guys in Russia. Check it out www.rastabike.ru
It's all in Russian, but they have alot of pics and it looks like a
dating service as well...Anyone looking for a Russian wife?

If you are in Britain and can find a Raliegh Burner or some of the
first Raleigh MTBs like Mustangs from the 80's they have a large
headset and bearings but a standard size steerer tube with a BMX size
21.1mm stem. These fit on an oversize MTB as I have tried it.

The parts of a normal suspension fork in Britain any way are called.
The bit that goes inside the frame is the Steerer tube..the handle
bar stem goes in this.
Then they are the yokes..either one or two..some times called crown.
The fork tubes or Stanchions go in the yokes. These are usually
chromed but sometimes they are aluminium with a gold coating.
Then the bottom part of the fork is called the slider and this holds
the wheel axle and has the brake attached.
You get upside down forks on expensive MTBs and sports motor bikes
and these have the parts upside down for more strength.

the fork tubes basically. chopper forks into suspension forks anyone?

ONGOING RESEARCH UPDATE:
on a similar note, while experimenting in the top secret R+D
bunker (my back room) i found that you could convert a 1" unthreaded
headset to 1 1/8" threaded head with a hack saw and a hammer.
what you need is a spare set of 1 1/18" forks, some cheap standard
old MTB jobbies should do, CHECK THE INNER DIAMETER! it should
be 25.4mm check on the quill neck for numbers. cut this through below
the bottom bearing cup, it's easy to see where, bear in mind you need
to keep the part for bearing cup fitment, anyways. once this is hacked
you
should have a nice 1 1/8 tube with a bearing cup at one end, check
the cut end and file off any sharp pain inflicting burs, refit this into
the
headset of your frame bearings, cups, nuts, the lot, and then give the
1" stem a slight lube and tap into the inside of the headset until the
base
is flush with the cut tube, you should have plently of new tube above
the threaded nuts at the top to fit your bar clamps and such.
i hope that makes some sense :)
i wondered about this due to lack of 1 1/8" to 1" head set conversion.
to take it further you can also get inserts to convert 1.5" to 1 1/8"
heads
from any half decent bike shop, so technically you should be able to
fit a 1" triple tree fork set to a chunky 1.5" trials frame. well,
that's the
plan anyway. now if those bastards would just stop outbidding me on
ebay -hah-

Hey bro,
What the hell are stanchions? Is this some new word you come up with? I think
you are talking about the supporting bracket for the springers? OK , don't
chrome it , but what are we talking about?
