    thanks for the repost. loved watching this one, such care and attention to detail shown! as much as i need a commuter bike, i can never stop wanting a single speed/bmx/dj style bike just to rip around on!

      No worries! Honestly I would say build one up haha ! It is so much fun just to have a light/fun bike to rip around on!

    Great Kona! With those shimano brakes, you did great bro. When bleeding them, it is easier to go from the caliper up to the funnel, because those bubbles go up naturally in mineral oil. Sram brakes on the other hand….man I hate bleeding those haha😂

      Cheers man! Ooo that’s a good tip I will try that next time from the caliper 👍 sram brakes are harder to do??

    Wishing there was less seatpost sizes. I'm sure the Kona will clean up nice. I'll bet u have quite the parts stockpile.

    Good job painting the fork. I'd like to try spray bike? Someday however I don't really have a workspace.

      Ahh yeah hard to find space to spray, you could always take it outside somewhere, I’ve sprayed some frames at car parks before 😅

    halfchain link and garbage that tensioner. if you need more adjustment an eccentric bottom bracket is the next appropriate thing

    • @garysprojects
      @garysprojects  Рік тому +1

      Yes I wanna try eccentric bb ! Have you tried ?

      @garysprojects not on anything I currently ride but I have a friend with a GF Rig SS and that's got the normal hanger and eccentric BB. Best option

      Ahhh cool yeah I always wanted to try but was worried about slippage / how strong it is

    maybe live i'd given you a get out of jail pass... but, you do a voice over. Aka recorded your voice after the fact applying it to the video in an editor(no?). . . For F sakes remove the lip smacking!!!! 33:04 34:00 33:29 3428 basically ever minute or more....36:54 38:46 38:56 ..... & on & on.....
