Goosey's Atomik Nitrous Daytona 150 Build

[stoozo]

Nice, they should look good!

I was looking at the blue hubs and black rims for the mini wr, but I need to sort out a decent motor before I bling it up anymore!!

Got any idea for the next ride day? JAMS looks a bit boring really!!

So my rims have rocked up, look nice, had a few spokes loose though so a heads up for anybody else buying these, check the spokes. Will get the tyres put on them tomorrow.

Just giving the bike a good clean and was wondering if anybody knew a trick to get this dirt off?

I have tried scubbing with a brush but won't come off. Only thing I found works is steel wool and scotch brite but I can't get all of it and it is taking forever

cheap shop wheel cleaner works well for me

Have you trued them too or were they ok? I loctited the spokes just cause I'm guessing a moto rim will sort itself out way faster than a bmx or DH mtb rim!! Just so the spokes dont get looser but I'll give them another true up and tighten after the first few hours on it :thumbup:

A mini steam cleaner perhaps?

 

[GooseMan]

Whats teh wheel cleaner look like?
And does the steam cleaner work?

I hope there true but haven't checked yet.

 

[my67xr]

it's $3 iirc,
takes a couple of goes to clean off bad stains, i spray it on, let it sit for a couple of mins, then pressure was it off.

So I have got the wheels and rear brake on now, needed a little modifications to the spacers on the rear wheel to make the gpx brake to fit properly but all worked out in the end. Rims look sick in person. Here are a couple of pics...

Obviously there is a bolt missing one the rear disc which Im looking for a replacement for, Brake pedal needed to have some modification too to allow for the longer shaft on the master cylinder.

Think I might have bent bars now though. Only just notice but they don't feel all that great.

 

[my67xr]

they look good!
are you going to run nyloc nuts on the back of the sprocket bolts ?

 

[GooseMan]

nah, I figured the lock tabs would hold em in.

 

[stoozo]

Looks good mate!!
