Made some small changes

Re-lace! Don’t replace. it’s a journey, not a race. start saving money, just in case.

I would go with V brakes cuz you are halfway there and said that you could braze. However I don’t have experience with a motorized build so don’t know about stopping power needed there.

Don’t use vinegar!! Even though horsefarmer says he has had good results- Don’t do it!!! It only took my 1” pitch chain 12 hrs to completely fall apart in vinegar. it was perfectly functional too- just a little rusty.

I’ve done both-cleaned up old spokes and bought new. Effort-I’d buy new. Original Equipment value-there’s little in my opinion, I’d buy new. Take this opportunity and get some different color nipples while u r at it.

That’s a thick slice of awesome with gravy. thank you sir

Awww, Brissy mate. I’ll take a flat white and a sanger

Yea, great little flick. that was filmed around Manly Beach, right?

Spent a little time doing this today

A cheap set of calipers will get you a long way. I acquired some couple years ago and don’t know how I made it without them. They are easily in my top 10 most used tool list.

Yes sir. Dats nice. And these are fun to ride too
