Dman Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Look's fun but i couldn't trust those bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
japslap Posted August 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yea man had my doubts myself with the tig welds but after breaking a few alloy bars wanted to go chromoly and a little different than usual, 4130 chromoly tig welded was about as far out as I could find lol have you experience with the sankuki bars yourself? Any other suggestions to try out instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen that before. i had to double check that it's not the image that's mirrored. bmxs occasionally come with LHD. don't for what purpose though.

japslap Posted August 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Yea it's lhd, my first lhd drive wheel build, trying different things out on this build, getting some short chubby pegs for the right hand side for grinds, also in the process of a custom grind guard for the right side of the totem. Honestly thought more eye brows would be raised for using one of the biggest sets of single crown downhill forks on the market as landing gear lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the ug man Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 In bmx. If you grind on the right. Then you run left hand drive. And if you grind on the left. You run right hand drive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceccarelli Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Curently I imagine is easyer to ride in Belfast. Here, south of France, heat is terrific ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paperclip Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 I found those sas rims to soft and flexible for the rear I know you'll be doing different things and it has quite the amount more spots than I had used so you should see how it fairs up. I do find the shade of gold these rims are appealing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I know where your coming from, so far it's holding up well, haven't used it much and only just done the initial re-tightening of the non drive side after first use, my profile is 48 hole so had limited choice, thinking I should have gone 4 cross, other than that I have a set of todestrieb chrome rims I was toying with putting on but there laced to a fixed hub and unfortunately the death mobile runs a Spanish bb or I'd have a front free wheel set up on the right Edited August 30, 2016 by japslap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk24 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I wouldn't put pegs on a nemesis project frame. The axle is the hub will be strong enough but you will bend the drop outs on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
