STEVE-0 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I've been trying to sell my hope wheel for quite a while now and finally decided to change to front freewheel finally (aliteration!) recently because i have a buyer. This took quite alot of work to get my bike to this state although it may not look it but I'm well pleased with the result. The icing on the cake for me is my custom bashring my brother and dad kindly helped make. I love it to pieces, i hope you do too. Here he is (im not gay) My beautiful bashring Bash ring 6mm wide + you can see now why i had clearance problems...this is with no freewheel tabs, a 3mm thick Bash at crank and a ground down BB shell! crap view comment please?

Spikenipple Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 That bashring looks very nice from what we can make out of it :- Use the macro if your camera has it or if possible could you take a distanced pic of it please? All looks good, i'm not a fan of the bright red tires though :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And you dont your trousers stuck in the chain because the bash guard prevents it from happening. I think thats a reason for having both bash ring + guard on the mods these days.

Luke Drewery Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Looks quite nice mate, i like the bash :) I was going to run a front freewheel setup a while back because ive been through quite a few freehub bodies on my hope :"> , however i decided not to because it would cost too much and my hope is holding up for now. Does it work nicely then over a normal hub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ask because I may be in the same boat here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bionic Balls Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 how do you get it off without tabs? jeez...your are a freewheel noob :) ...the way i do it is to cut new tabs! done it on all my freewheels since clearance has always been tight...they still work fine :S steve took them with my camera....he'll ask me what macro is when he gets home no doubt.. :)" it does look rather nice.... adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that my ACS was rubbing on the bb shell and I'd waited long enough for my bb and couldn't be arsed with sending it back and getting a longer one.. so I went all slicey slicey on the ACS's ass... and I might be wantin an ENO at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punkrider Posted April 28, 2005 Report Share Posted April 28, 2005 Hey, that looks really nice, how did you make the bashguard? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-0 Posted May 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 my brother's an engineer, so he just milled most of it out on a milling machine using CAD/CAM. Then my dad just turned it on a lathe to make it round. Really sorry about the pics guys ill try and get some better 1's today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wee_grant Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 im just wondering but if you have front freewheel which you have that means the chain is allways going round when you are on the move but does the gear change without you having to pedal :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
