I ride the Bike MS: City to Shore 2024 Century with the Carver Ti RM 20"
It was a wet day mainly misting most of the ride. The sun finally came out at Ocean City NJ. It was over 60F at least so I wasn't cold the whole time like the 2 previous years. There were no bike issues. I actually stopped at the lunch stop (usually I only stop at the century rest stop and most after).

What's funny is both times I went, I beat the heat by going after work in the evening and I planned to do that again... Anyway. I just took a quick ride on the nice hot Sunday. It could easily of been ho...

funny comment about ensuring you’re on the century loop. Last year was a bit of a mess at the Century cut off.
Great video. What time did you start?
First thing at 6:30am
Help! When I press the button to change the color of the fans, my PC restarts but doesn’t change the color. What can I do?
You may have the reset button hooked to the motherboard. You want that button connected to the fan controller.
@thatbmxguy I need to know the outer bearing for the drive side
The bearing balls should be 7/32" a kit is on Amazon www.amazon.com/CYCLEZ-Bearings-Lowrider-Bicycles-Complete/dp/B09NZPMYL2
Awesome setups!
Doing my first this year. Can’t wait to see what it’s like. I can tell you’re very proud of your rides by the way you’ve kept the mementos. Well done.
What about the K804 Indicator rod on the non drive side? Mine is missing on the bike I'm restoring so I was hoping for some info?
I only have what came on the my 49 AM which may not be the same K part. I don't have leads in the USA. I know changing the key to newer threaded one and using a newer indicator rod shifter mark 1 chain (pull rod) is a good replacement.
Looks cool. I like the wheel dipping.
getting to the Missouri River was a good 500 ft of 1" deep mud
Thanks for taking us along and sharing insights, great tour, Mate!
the first thing I would modify on the Dahon Speed UNO is the replace the brakes with "Magura HS33" hydraulic rim brakes....
A car veering off into the trail is pretty crazy! Nice riding vlog :)
thanks carl for this. it helped me to find a problem: just a tiny rock inside de axel that was avoiding to srew in the little chain that change the gears. i had to opened all until inside 😅. i learned a lot. thank you
Hello, do you know where i can get my hands on an adaptor like the one you used in the video, i can't find them anywhere, only the screw on ones I once again would honestly appreciate your help in this regard.
I got it from a guy in Portland. These are hard to find in the states, SJScycles otherwise may have them but they didn't ship to the USA last I tried them.
@@thatbmxguy thanks for the info
Hello it's me again, I heard somewhere that you can put the srf internals in an AW hub, does this work and if so, will I be able to follow the same steps as in this video to add the 9 spline. Saddly, I can't do anything with spokes myself, I kinda need to go through the internal replacement route...😅 If this works, I'll be close to finally making my 3-speed a 9-speed Btw where can I find a 9 spline like you have? I can't seem to find one, all the ones I find are screw ons...
The SRF3 internals will fit in the 2010+ AW only.
Ah, well... I've wasted some money. I guess I can ask my local shop to fit the new hub I brought on, it may not be the original but if the new hub is required so I don't have to weld anything then that's what I'm gonna have to do... Again, thanks for being so helpful it's making this (unknowingly) frustrating quest for hybrid gears much more bearable, I honestly thought that there would be spares everywhere when I first started looking, saddly it's not as easy as past me thought it was going to be. 😅
@thatbmxguy quick question: does any of these adaptors work as long as they have the Pawls, or do they need a certain depth? I'm asking as I am finding some that look similar, but the pawls on them are all very shallow compared to what is shown in the video...
the hub this driver goes in has to have the actuator pawls.
Love your rides and your bikes. Your videos have inspired me to enjoy BMX for commuting and pleasure rides I moved away from 700c style bikes to commute to work to a modified BMX some years back. Now have BMX bikes for family to do rides around our city and the countryside. 20" is so versitile, allowing you to virtually go anywhere with them.
Awesome frame!
Nice, looks like a good ride
I know that video is rather old at this point, but am i right to think that you where saying, 1. The brompton adapter allows the use of modern gears 2. The adaptor works on the older AW sturmy hubs 3. A new shifter may benefit me Sorry for asking, but I have a hard time understanding what people say. Also to pick your brain a bit, if i was to use this adaptor, how would i go about replacing/modifying the gear and single speed chain on a hercules bike, like is there an existing kit, because i dont have any tools other than a adjustable wrench and a few screwdrivers. You are the closest i have come to seeing how to to add more gears to my hub.😅
the Brompton driver will only work with the SRF3 and XRF5 or XRF5W and BWR or the modern chain pull hubs by sun race. older AW hubs or similar you can try finding the threaded driver that works with fixed gear cogs but you can also thread 5 or 6 speed freewheels onto it.
@@thatbmxguy thank you very much for the info this has helped me massively, I was about to waste my money in trying the adaptor..😅 I honestly didn't expect a reply but I thank you massively.
Thank you again for the help and great ride vlog :)
You should buy at least one Ryzen 5 5600 soon, as the processor you are currently using bottlenecks the graphics card. And in addition, you should buy a power supply of at least 600 watts because the system may shut down if there is not enough power for the graphics card.
I got that all covered. I now have a 500w psu by Silverstone also. The board now is a B450m-AII since they are cheap lately. I also upped the CPU to a Ryzen 5 5500 when I installed Windows 11. 11 didn't support the Ryzen 5 1600. I'll post a updated video on this setup at some point.
Well, I would break that. Great video
I'll have the hub on a display shelf with the other SA hubs at some point.
Nice work, awesome bike!
Hi, Where did you purchase the brake bracket?
You mean the Paul Motolite brakes? The brake pads? or the mounts on the frame and forks?
Interesting stuff
Thank you . A really great video. Thank you. I will be using it tomorrow, to service my Brompton 3spd hub.
Is the screen supposed to flicker like that?
I had the same pc
I had to reduce speed by 50%.
Thanks for this video, re: some of the OS comments, I run 32 bit Lubuntu on my trusty T43, it works well with 1 gig of memory. The CMOS battery went about a week ago, it'll be great to get it back to full working order.
Great memories R/C racing in your old back yard! Thanks for the tour!
Bruh even GTX 1650 is more than enough for HTPC builds, and way efficient than thid GPU. Its kinda like overkill
I just know I should of waited longer for the new low profile 3050 which MSI has a lower price then the Gigiabyte version of the 3050. The new 3050 doesn't need the PCIe power cable.
Will be taking mines apart tomorrow
Hopefully it isn't very noisy, because it's important for HTPC to be completely silent at low passages of music.
Holy seat post batman I take it you're a tall guy
Thats the just riding around the neighborhood setup. Probably puts on a one piece post / seat combo for racing.
You should have interviewed the nosey guy, he has something to hide.
What's with pissin off all the old people?
Stalking there will be.
I'm glad you use a SSD because people using hard drives for HTPCs jumpscares me
It was once the only way! I added a Samsung 970 m2 lately and it is one less wire now.
Will it work with a 300W power supply?
The Silverstone 300w tfx psu I'm using in the video worked fine with the 4060 installed. I didn't try the stock 300w psu that came with the case with this 4060.
Thank you very much for the videos. Where did you find all those spare parts for Nikko Hurricane? Thank you very much
everything I found on ebay
Thanks for the preview of the ride. I haven’t ridden the SRT in years and want to get back and do the CVT which will be a first for me.
The Chester Valley Trail is a refreshing extension to the Schuylkill River Trail. I was happy the connection was made. On my monthly century's 100km, I take the CVT almost every other month and sometimes ilI ride up to Valley Forge to get to Betzwood and take the SRT all the way back.
How was your experience riding a single speed for City to Shore? I’m thinking about using a 3 speed upright bike.
Single speed was more than fine. A 3 speed bike should be more than fine. I was once planning to use a 3 speed on these 20" bikes I use. I have an AM which has a closer or medium ratio that I run on some of my 100 km rides during the year. I just havent ran the hub on the bike in this event yet
hello....IS POSIBLE WItH LATERAL DINAMO(AXA)???thanks!!
I wouldn't recommend it with this light. but it may work.
ok thanks!!!lateral dinamo AXA is very good!!
i will inform you@@thatbmxguy
turn that biopace 72° forward from rod, that the guide can be seen 72° forward from the rod. that was the way it meant to be, that is the timing we use nowadays.
Can the cone wrench be substituted for a second adjustable wrench acting on the axle?
yes just make sure it stays tight on the slot
Can I install disc brake onto this Strumey Archer SRF3 internal gear?
This one won't take a disc brake rotor. You would have to get the RS RK3 or the CS RK3.
@@thatbmxguy any chance I can install an adapter? Either centerlock or 6 bolt adapter ?
Not that I know if. You can however use the RS RK3 shell with the AW or srf3 internals if you don't like the rotary shift internals
@@thatbmxguy I don't think getting RS RK3 shell would be easy.
The hub you want is the S-RK3. 6-bolt disc, 135mm OLD, uses the old-school indicator spindle (same style but you would need the MK9 indicator instead of the shorter MK3 you'd use with an SRF....but don't worry; the spindle will be in the box if you buy the hub new. They are in-stock at SJScycles as i type this.
How do you like it? I did something similar, but my other bike has it offset, and it doesn't affect usability.
I'm liking it alot. Both this light and the tail light are doing great. The same head light is on my folding bike too and with that one I try not to notice the fender shadow. On this one I only notice when the beaming isn't centered, after somehow banging the light into something. The light doesn't move as easily as the light on the folding bike does.
Why not mount a fender ? Easiest way to keep the light clean.
There is a fender. There just isnt enough room to get the light over the fender and the fender I have, the planet bike fender, doesn't extend forward enough. This setup held up for a good few years now.
I have a question will it work on a optiplex 790?
As long as the motherboard has a pcie x16 slot, a good enough psu over 300w and a pcie 8 pin cable on a dedicated 12v rail; it should be fine. You may need a new power supply in other words.
How does this not have any likes? I'll like it for you:)
