Hiya midschool kids, I have an inbuilt hatred of 3pc cranks is using a opc on a midschool a hanging offence or super duper awsome ???
-
Fine with me

I know a council tip that has a nice redline big block crank in it :-[

Seen a few of these morales with opc's on too, was thinking about an oddy excaliber because I've got a dynatron headset & bb kicking around somewhere. Would like some of them nice peregrine or primo type peggles so would like chainwheel suggestions please, the weirder the better :daumenhoch:

*sound of hurling* :LolLolLolLol:
Not a fan of the 1-piece, but flatlanders love em. Chain wheel - small Graveyard sprocket or teeny KHE one would be good :daumenhoch:
You thought of getting the Morales done in copper instead of the usual blue?
-
There were a few opc's about in the 90's, coz we were skint. I broke a couple. They were shite. I bought some 2nd hand profiles in early 92 and never ridden shitty one piece since.

Thought someone mentioned copper to me at mk !!!!!!
Been thinking along the lines of green/candy/metalflakey stuff, Dans sort of on the case thinking of something.
Quite like the idea of copper though :chin:
When you say "small" chainwheel how small you talking & what cog am I gonna need ( bearing in mind I'm only rolling about) ???

This morales is a 97 Ben, what about them twin pinch redline things you see everywhere ???
-
AAAAARGH.....!!!
Danny is right about the flatlanders liking opc's, i think it was down to the availability of 160 and 165mm length arms, plus if they got bent when falling off or bike-throwing (damian mckenna) they were cheaper to replace.

:LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
A shortish crank then :chin:
-
If you are referring to the old school square taper bollox then I can understand why you hate 3pc. Mid 3pc like Flights, Profiles, Or GT's are worlds apart though, and look much more at home on a mid build. If you look around they dont cost too much either. Flatlanders did continue to run 1pc fro some time, but as Ben says it was more down to getting the shorter length. :daumenhoch:
-
Well it came with some of them dna cranks. Thick as fook n weigh a ton so presumably they're shite ???(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/08/23/yvuha6y4.jpg)
Quite like the chunky look of em though

Agree with Ben about Flites (talked about it at MK whilst drooling at the front brake mod/Dan's paint job at MK :) ) - the part of the bike you want (need) to be strong having frikkin pinch bolts on it when the pinch part takes all the side-on downward stress (as opposed to a aheadset stem with the force chucked away from the pinch) - boring eh :LolLolLolLol:
Anyhow, them DNA cranks - you don't see a lot of em, came out in the late 90's alongside DNA chainwheels etc. They're not great, way cheaper than Profiles and would look the tits on a mid-priced late 90's bike like the later Heavy Tools stuff etc. Probably not on the Morales :daumenhoch:
And back to the Morales - I'll do you better piccies when I'm back from oop North, but how about a Phil Dolan build (this is mid '96 but you get the idea). Clearcoat copper Morales:
[attachment=1]
[attachment=2]
And yes....he's got single pinchers on there :LolLolLolLol:

And the specs (note the blackwall front, tanwall rear - everyone rocked em like that then):

Cheers for that knew I'd end up all confused again !!!!!!!!!
Want to do it some kind of justice but just really want to have a chunky cool looking thing I can roll about on that has a big comfy seat & some big fooooooooook off pegs. Found a company called love goat, not sure what they made but need love goat in my life :LolLolLolLol:
-
Love Goat stems were the bow-locks bitd :daumenhoch:
Big old phat pegs - either Standard Hand Grenades, or Indy pegs would be ace.

The only ones I have ever seen are 1" and 1 1/8th clamp on versions. So you would need an appropriate fork for them to work.

Oooooo love goat love could be back on, thanks clint :daumenhoch:
Need to hunt for a goat first though :chin:
-
Ok goat love looks very hard to find :LolLolLolLol:
Any suggestions on something similar, I like the built in gyro tabs & the slabby chunky look.
Can use 1" or 1 1/8" with that conversion thing Clint found :popcorn:

I've got a Fit going spare, very similar....

Gone for wini's powerbites, as far as we could work out they're 97 98 ish :crazy2:
Need some tenderisers or perry peds in 9/16th now though "nono"
Other bits are
Probably them sun bfr's from bmx city
Hp 406 repops
Fancy suntour roller cams but can't be arsed with fiddling with the potts mod bit :yahoo_silent:
Got a nice pair of boas in my shite box anyway :daumenhoch:
Jap stamped tech 77
Sticking with the bars, forks & seatpost
Need to sort out a chainwheel (no idea on size/make but needs to be funky)
Stem 1" or 1 1/8 can use either ( again needs to be funky too)
Chrome gyro (seem easy to get hold of)
Freewheel (suppose that depends on what chainwheel I end up with )
Would like some of that shiny/holographic brake cable stuff too
Apart from that it's nearly done :LolLolLolLol:
Any suggestions/moans or general piss taking welcome guys :popcorn:

Nearly brought that Morales .... soooooooo close.
If I had ... It would have gone 'Dolan' orange :daumenhoch: :4_17_5:

Right midschool kids need advice on the chainwheel n rear sprocket. These here graveyard things seem thin on the ground, any other suggestions ???
Also what teeth am I after seen 39,36 & not keen on them really small buggers. The one that was fitted (40 or 42 I think) was too big, so someone hammered a dent into the chainstay for clearance, hopefully Dans working his magic on that...
Gonna be running a primo 3pc now if that makes any difference. .....
Thanks in advance for any help fellas :slayer:

Looking forward to seeing this done Rich
Even better would be a video of you trying to pedal it home up that steep fooker of a hill :teef:

The earliest mention of the powerbites ive seen is a few us shops advertising a new primo crank and call for info is june 97
The first picture ive found is december 97 and the first offical primo powerbite advert coming in january 98. Theres an advert for BFR's right next to the powerbite advert too so the rims are perfect era wise to the cranks.

looks like your nearly there dude.. :daumenhoch:
you will have to run a small front chainring as the frame is designed for them
I run 36t front 16t rear and it fine peddling wise ... 14t rear would be better
but I got a fooking gert big motorbike chain on mine so I have to run 16.... :D
I would get flip flop rear hub then you can try both.... ;)
what you doing for a seat...?
seat post clamp size is 34.9
and seat post size is 31.6
:)

Thanks for the advice I'm presuming a flip flop hub isn't something you'd wear on the beach :LolLolLolLol:
Seat clamps sorted & want one of them primo padded seats for me bum. Hopefully wini has one with some jives 8n his stash :daumenhoch:

Your freewheel choice will depend on what hubs you have. Older mid hubs are normal oldschool thread size so the smallest you can use is a 16, or a 15 if you can find an AC Racing one (think i have a used one somewhere....) newer mid hubs will take the 30mm threaded freewheels. ACS make 14 and 15t, odyssey do a 13t. When you've sorted that, then you can choose a sprocket.
If you go 13t at the back, then you want 33,34,35 or 36 up front. If you go 14t then 37, 38, 39 is fine. 15t will suit 39 to 42.
You could go a tooth either way up front for build purposes but it might feel too easy or hard depending which way you go.
Basically, what gearing you can run depends on the hub, or if you have a specific front sprocket in mind or in hand, then you need the right hub to accept the corresponding freewheel.
Hope this makes sense!
I have a nice chunky black BSD sprocket in 38t (uncommon size) if you get stuck, but its for 19mm cranks only!! Ahh the joys of midschool compatibilities.....

Like the sound of black n chunky but I take it these primo cranks won't work with it :'(

opc s came back at a point after being frowned upon for years. very much a mid skool thing . even generic bikes into early 00s..

Noooooo they didn't - flatlanders used em, and generic bikes throughout time used em (and still do) but the majority of the mid to late 90's every bugger that rode anything other than a paper delivery round had a 3 piece crank. They became cheap enough by then for peeps to afford.

Now now fellas :LolLolLolLol:
Just looked up a bsd sprocket & looks proper new school to me :chin:

Dead right. Primo axles are 22mm.

;D
Dead right. Primo axles are 22mm.
Right so a funky a funk 36-39 sprocket, i need 14mm rear hub for the morales so will I be able to use the larger 30mm rear cog ??? Acs or odyssey 13-15t
Have I finally got it in my thick head right :LolLolLolLol:
-
I might have a G-Sport Homer 14mm rear with a 14T cog on it, came out early 1998. Will have to check though if it's a LHD - am sorting through stuff at the weekend so will have a butchers.
Also got the matching front, but from memory it's also 14mm, and George ain't got any 10mm axles left :daumenhoch:
-
Awsome
If I di end up going with the Bfr wheels from bmx city hopefully they'll build em up 😉
If you come across owt else that I need please give mee a shout Dan 👍

A 14mm axled hub may have either freewheel thread size. 30mm thread is the smaller of the two and will take 13-15t free wheels. If you want to run a 36, go for a 13 rear. If you run 39 then use a 14 rear.

Wotcha midschoolers primo powerbite have arrived from wini , not ever having 3pc before I'm bit stumped on the bb situation :-[
The morales had a normal loose bearing bb on the dna cranks which all screwed together same as a normal opc
Need a sealed bb suitable for the primo any ideas would be great. Links to the right thing even better :LolLolLolLol:
Cheers fellas :-*
-
Hold off again me old mukka - I might have a spare US Primo BB as on a bike I got the Powerbite cranks arms were fooked. Will have a butchers when I look for that hub :daumenhoch:
If I fail, cheapest I could find:

Help time again midschool kids :LolLolLolLol:
Scored a nice dinky stem earlier on it's a 1 1/8th "nono" gonna need a 1" conversion shaft for the kore forks. Really need one with a potts bolt, had a poke about & seem to be plenty of normal ones with a recessed allen head bolt fixing but failed to find a potts one so far......
Any of you guys know of a potts modded conversion shaft or a potts bolt that can be used with one ???
At a push I've got one of them universal potts bolt (hex head) that I could cut down & use a washer on the head but it sounds a bit bodgy (not that it's worried me before :whistle: )
Thanks yet again fellas & I promise to stop bothering you all soon :LolLolLolLol:
-
Rich, i imagine those convertors would be easy to bore out for a potts mod bolt :)

well just check out loads of midschool completes , mongoose , gt , dyno -etc etc .. i never said good bikes or pimped out bikes. paperboys are RAD :slayer:

why are you not sticking a normal shafted stem in it ...

None taken mr Dancer
Didn't like most 9f the 1"mid stems & ended up going for something really rare & different ;D in 1 18th
Just cos I like the look of it :whistle:
-
ok dude :coolsmiley:
so when do you get the frame back....?
maybe a profile chainring if you get stuck there quite universal..... :daumenhoch:

When uncy Dans sorted it 😉😉
Do need a chainwheel 36-39t
If you've got one going 👍

i think you should put a freecoaster on the back wheel mate -it's a flat bike afterall -then its going to be easier for the gearing -as there loads of cogs available in different sizes ;)

14t freewheel & blingy chrome chain delivered for 60ish notes :daumenhoch:
May not be for the purists amongst you but gone for things I like the look of more than anything else :whistle:
Viynal arrived from the states for the decals & is off to Delboy, frames with Dan, tyres still at clints :LolLolLolLol:
Need chrome gyro, rear brake cos I fancy a 990 or something odder (chrome) still need a groovy chainwheel ,some of that holographic/cosmic brake cable & a 1 1/8th to 1" stem adapter :chin:
So come on guy's raid your stashes & hook me up
Ps nows a good time as I'm drinking :slayer:

Just caught up with this thread.....wow!!! That Mr Tick stem is absolutely awesome!! Love it!!
And my measurements of the bars seemed spot on too......i cant think of any other bars that would have accommodated that stem lol.
This looks set to be a seriously RAD to the bone build!! Top stuff so far!! :4_17_5:

I wonder what a graphologist would make of that handwriting :crazy2:

Thanks for the comments fellas :daumenhoch:
Really quite pleased with how it's coming together. .....
Fancy some fatter tyres than 1.75 so any suggestions of something that's readily available would be welcome :whistle:

2.1 v monsters or the wall tyres should go nicely.

Didn't even look for dirty monsters. Thought they'd be more chunky like a race tyre 😔 they don't look bad at all
-
Don't think dirt monsters would be right :-\
I get those Walls quick smart :daumenhoch:

You're right bud they wouldn't be any good. Unfortunately they don't have a pair of anything left over there 😠😠

I have no idea. But given these were designed to run large diameter pegs, I wouldnt want to run a peg on top of a tensioner. Unless it came with a special low profile one that fitted flush in that groove, I cant see it working very well when combined with a peg.
-
Cheers John, got some mega pegs for it & don't want to fook the drops ith a tensioner if not needed 😉😉
-
Well mr Winstanleys came up trumps & v monsters turned up today. Just need to find my forks again & building can carry on :LolLolLolLol:
-
Pretty sure the grooves are just for the washer to sit in

Fed up scouring the world for white freestyle tyres for the vinny so dug the morales out again. Popped the v monsters on,a 990 ( can't find the other ) seatpost & bearing shaft seat clamp ( thanks to Clint for that stroke of genius ).
would have fitted the forks aswell but unfortunately they're in italy which is a long long story 😟😟(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/31/4c9013b06e0d7e6a6d65831d1a2acd7e.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/31/f134d430c5aec81b2676e2c52eb2759b.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/31/c4c42ebe81a14d2681ee1661885818fc.jpg)

How have you run the rear cables on yours ???
-
I drilled a hole above the other 2 in the brake thing ( can't think of the word ) mid way down the twin top tubes
and ran a single cable to the back.

really you should run a gyro with duel cables into a u brake using a knarp to hold the left cable in the brake
don't know the set up on a acs / ufo gyro but im guessing they only run a single cable
maybe clint can knock you up something to convert you 2 holes to 1.....
if you don't want to drill your into you new paint.....
:)
-
Now that looks nice & neat solution. Don't wanna go near it with a drill though, that's got disaster written all over it.....
Clint introduced me to knarps ??
So prob gonna use 2 cables running all the way to the 990, that'll all turn up next week so it's back to vincent fiddling today.....
