SS Question 4
Ahaa there is no question 4, my new SS is on the road. Actually new is a
joke seeing there is not a single new part on it. My problem with the chain slipping seems to have been a bit too much wear in the sprocket for the chain to cope with. Went down to pickup a new freewheel from peter Moore and they had an almost new 18T for $8. BARGAIN! Just what I wanted as the 18T may be a little kinder on my knees with all the hills around here. So just been for a test ride around the block with no chain slipping and everything appears to be okay. WooHoo! Now I just need to keep an eye out on ebay for some new brakes, the old ones suck, I'd forgotten how bad they were. At least I won't be capable of too much speed.

I'm envious Mine is still spread across three frames which have various bits o them which were all scrounged out of skips, out of rubbish collections etc I have just come off 6 years of part time study so I have a hous renovation to finish before I'm allowed to start building bikes. think I have all the bits bar the wheels, a chainwheel and the rear co and spacers. I might go to the Police lost property auction (Perth) o the 27th to see what I can pick up cheaply The 18T sounds attractive. What size chainwheel are you running wit it Steve(starts study again in July, uhh) -- SteveA |

DaveB "now with no excuses to not finish a damned assignment and then enjoy my holidays" Dave....I have a pair of Deore front V brakes that you can have for $10. I got them from Hippy for $15 a while back but that was without cables, little bendy thingo, and cartridge brake pads. I might even be able to fix you up with a set for the back too. I currently have a set of Tektro brakes that are actually pretty good on the back of my SS that I am considering replacing with the Shimano LX rear brake from my 27 spd bike (it now has LX discs). Too bad you weren't at BR on Sunday.....you could have come over and scored brakes, lights, and browsed the rest of my stockpile. Feel free to hit me up with an email if you want to arrange to come over and shop at Gags's Bike Barn Emporium......"I'm Crrrraaaazzyyy!!!!" Ride On, Gags |

I currentl have a set of Tektro brakes that are actually pretty good on the back of m SS that I am considering replacing with the Shimano LX rear brake fro my 27 spd bike (it now has LX discs). I'm turning my SS into my tourer and in the process upgrading the Deor Vee brakes to LX vees (is there an actual difference other than colour?) so I will have a spare set of Deore vees kicking around think. hipp -- hippy |
