  • I got this old unsused peugeot bike for £40 off eBay, the gears had rusted, it was unuseable and sat in someones garden. I wanted to convert it to a fixie while reusing as many parts that came with the bike as possible.
    The frame was in nice condition, but I wanted to transform the bike so I took it to East Coast Alloys in Hull powdercoatinghull.co.uk/ where it was stripped, blasted and powder coated in this briliiant red.
    I managed to clean up and re use the bars, stem, headset, seat post, cranks and pedals.
    I bought a new sealed square taper bottom bracket which was 110mm to go with the new spacing of the 2nd hand fixie wheelset I got off eBay. I also bought a new seat clamp and saddle and some grips.
    Thank you for watching.

    What editing! wow. Things got real serious about 11 min with the paint removal and powder coating. I love those long drop bar grips have never seen them before.

    Bro you didn’t grease the left turn bolt on the doodad properly. Remember on 2.75 turns of the 5mm hex key is illegal in Grenada.

    Looks like you're running a tall gear there ? I ride fixed at around 60 gear inches , your looks more like maybe 75 ? . Happy riding

Now this is an old comment, but I was gonna ask about this very thing since I've heard elsewhere you shouldn't grease the cranks for risk of splitting them. Is this why you risk splitting them?
