My Minitard Build

[Sabertooth_buterfly]

It was easy to spot. cos the options for me was to be working on a psychology assignment for uni or staring hypnotically at bike pics,.......so I chose staring at bike pics lol.
anyway back to psyc assignment

 

[jmadden91]

I could help get off topic again if ya want? just kidding
but that was very good spotting Tina I missed it haha
also did you pack the bearings mate? Not being a smart a55 just want to make sure

Um probably not I just stuck them on lol. Do you mean like pack them with grease? If so, no I didn't as it will be pulled apart completely again soon for a proper paint job.

 

[mattbombers]

Yep might ba an idea mate haha

 

[jmadden91]

haha ok cheers Ill do that. They're surprisingly smooth even without grease.

 

[mattbombers]

Give em a few hours work and wash ya bike and say that haha
but yep I diddnt realize you were re painting it

 

[jmadden91]

Haha ok thanks for the tip and yeh I am. If you look closely enough you can see where I ran out of paint haha

 

[mattbombers]

Ahh ok, I'm a lazy prick lol just glimpse at pics but now I see haha
Well you could of fooled me haha

Woops, should have read all posts before replying... I don't give a sh1t, but if you're going to get narky about a joke I'm happy to school you a little!

On topic... How's the build going, any new parts/pics or work done?

[jmadden91]

Hey so re-assembled the triples. Is this better?

Sorry for the Bad Pic VV

 

[sean01]

^^^^theres spose to be a dust cap to cover the bearing mate...
and the bearing cage in the first pic looks bent

 

[jmadden91]

Hmm ok so I need to grab another set of bearings?

Edit: Just pulled them out to have a look and yep they're bent and no covers or anything haha. Will grab another set asap

Mate, read the thread through before you blow up... We've already moved on.

Thanks for setting a great example though...

Sorry guys, back on topic... Does anyone use aftermarket bearings (sealed or otherwise) or just stick with the cheapo china ones?

 

[Sabertooth_buterfly]

yep that looks better but there should be the dust cover as sean said. But in motard you could probably get away without it, it is likley that it would just shorten their life a little.
Krazed I have used the china bearings in a few bikes and as long as you pack them properly they seem to last ok, but I do prefer to get better quality ones from my local engineering supply, it's just good insurance. If i was hitting big jumps I would want better than china bearings but for motard chinas are ok.

[jmadden91]

Thanks Tina, hm how much do the ones from your local engineering shop set you back? If they're not much more I might get them over the DHZ ones:

DHZ Mini Moto

 

[Sabertooth_buterfly]

I cant remember it's been awhile since I got some but I know that they are cheeper at most engineering or bearing shops than through bike shops and the quality is usualy better.

 

[Sabertooth_buterfly]

quality is not such a big issue for stearing bearings but when you get wheel bearings it pays to get the best you can. A collapsed wheel bearing can realy change your out look on things fast lol

 

[sam93]

Yeah bad wheel bearings do change your out look. Like maxing out on gravel doing close to 100kmh and my left bearing went, started drifting sideways chain came off, was so hard to not stack. was fkn scary!!!!

Thats crazy man, glad your OK.

Well there wont be any more progress on this build, I grabbed one of those cheap DHZ's on ebay. This one will be parted out to pay for the new bike.

 

[sam93]

Yeah got my heart racing alright when i finally came to a stop.

How much you looking for all your parts im just curious?

 

[jmadden91]

Check the mini classifieds mate, Its all there
