Pissing around on rice field trails this morning. This thing rides really well on those plump little tires.

Here you go! I found a some Powerway bodies in my stock that placed the bearing in the right location relative to the shell end, so I had them remachined to fit the mavic drive plate. By using a 16100 bearing, I could use the 28mm bearing bore without sleeving and recutting that area. In the...

I finally had a bit of time for this. I was unable to separate the drive sleeve from the drive ratchet and was afraid of damaging the latter, so I cut and split the (half moon) sleeve. In the photo below you can see how they are connected. I have drawn the assembly and will have a Shimano HG...

Coming up to his 15th birthday. Every extra day we get together is a bonus.

Here's a small bit of Canadiana

Here's some weird retro Canadiana - ARVON hubset made by Arvon Stacey of Tofield, Alberta.

I wish I could help you out. I have 2 Mavic bodies available, though 🥴 I've been thinking to have one of the Mavic bodies turned down to see if the steel driver flange could be mated to another HG Body. I need to find a body seal for the hubset that I have.

Mavic body for Mavic "half moon" cogs. HG Body for Shimano cassettes.
