1 August, 2010

QVMX, The VMX club that supports every vmx class from pre 65 to pre 90

Here you will see the progress and the costs of doing a budget bike, I will resuse and rebuild every part in a bid to save money.

I wish there was 3 incomplete bikes but im hoping that between the 3 ill have most of the parts.

I will be also using any parts left over from Shaun’s Bike

Not the first time apart, how did that bearing remain lubricated?

Conv_R0013783

No extra Cost yet Next thing ill do is get all the parts together from shauns bike and this one and see if i have a complete motor.

Hubs and front spokes turned out perfect, off to be plated and polished.

I now have a good gearbox ready and enough parts to build the bottom end, Just have decide, do i fix up a really worn out barrel or look for a second hand one, Frame is ready to be painted.

Unusable Parts, the crank is potentially Rebuildable, but ill look around, the gears are pretty good no hard facing missing, just needs the dogs done. The sprocket was carefully cut off and quite good considering.
