That's great how it all came together so flush at the back Alex. Just noticed your pitchfork stickers too, nice touch.
Have you got brakes on it yet?

Yeah, it all worked out real tidy. My forks only came with one sticker so I had to dig into the sticker box for the other side.

Nope, still brakeless. You dont need brakes to blast tables in my local bowl, and Im still lovin that.

Yesterday I got the chain tensioners I designed. They are little wedges that sit between the axle and the dropout, and they have grub screws so they are adjustable. They work the Left and Ride dropouts, they fit under pegs, and stop the wheel moving forwards and backwards.

Last night I fitted the rear brake. Its not fully sorted yet, I need to change the brake hanger. There isnt much room there so I need to try and find / make a really short one. For now I used an oddy one but I put it on backwards cos it fitted better (with the pinchbolt behind the straddle cable). Not perfect but it'll do for now.

Tires are great, I love um. So far they are great on Smooth concrete, dirt pump tracks and wooden ramps. All good

I sorted the brake hanger out. I cut a normal one down so it fitted.
Here's some pics of the full brake setup
