I have no idea what years of cylinders they consider "newer".

From the picture on their site, it looks to be pre 2002.

Pics and Vids / pictures of a couple cranks I welded

« on: May 17, 2014, 06:34:12 AM »

I made a fixture to hold the tins tight while welding and to provide a heat sink to not over heat the crank halves.
I also made a fixture for the tig gun to help make it easier to weld in a circle.

Do you have pictures of these?

(and isn't half bad at it either!)

I hate those rides where you have to ride and wait ride and wait ride and wait.

I describe things very accurately on Ebay and usually get less than it's worth because I do so. Almost to the point it's not worth selling.

I'm sorry about the angle. I didn't know my camera had moved. Watch the 18 sec mark.

on the 2002 or never you also need the other components for the electronic power valve , it need to be a complete ignition or it wont work

As in the wiring harness also? There are two other electrical components also, those too?

What's included in the ignition system kits?  I'm going to sell one on Ebay and want to know how I should package it. I tore down the whole bike, so I have everything, except the ESR adapter. Thanks for any input.

Lounge / Keeping your garage/work space organized

Some say "it's just a garage". Others think the opposite. My garage is never going to look like this, but I don't want oil on the floor either.

You have that drywall up. I use all that space behind the drywall for shelving and I use the rafters. You have bare walls that you can put shelves on. I use every inch of space. Got all my shelving for free, one way or another. Mostly trash from work.  I also built a 8X10 shed in the back yard for the bikes.

Suspension and Chassis / Flat tires paddles

« on: January 20, 2014, 11:25:33 PM »

My friend had the same problem with his sand stars on douglas blue labels. We dismounted, cleaned, bead sealed & remounted them 3 times & still couldn't get the left one to hold air. He ended up getting a used set of skate 2's & we compared the beads between the tires & the sand stars had a much thinner bead area. I'm not saying your out of luck & can't get them to work, try some of the methods mentioned above & if all else fails you may need to get different tires.

I got them when they first came out, when they were really popular. Everyone around camp had them and had problems with flats. I knew I wasn't ever going to buy them again. I had the skate II's till there was no paddle left. That was my favorite paddle.

They are ITP Sand Stars.
Thanks for all the responses.

I spin the tire and its the tire not the rim. Bead sealant doesn't work for me either. I don't like the added weight or cost of a tube. I have also tried silicone along the bead before.

I always have trouble with my paddles leaking at the bead. Once my tires get a little old they start to leak at the bead. I remove the tire from the wheel and clean them after every riding season. But as they get older they still leak. I have tried that green slime stuff and I can't ever get it to work for me. It's no fun running around with 18lbs of pressure in my tires to prevent flats. I heard of another trick that involves radiator coolant and Stop Leak or one that involves liquid starch. Anyone know about these or have other advice?
