Re:

Looking good what's involved with the bearing race conversion?

 

[Ryanmini84]

Cutting the welds then slide it down and re weld. Making sure it was all level and all that.

Re:

Well, ended up making a shim for the rear canti guide in the end. I do have a correct side one on the way though.
The rest of the bike when together with a minor hiccups, as BB was to long so had to square that away bit was easy enough.
And thanks to the final part for Jussa, I finished it off tonight. All be it a bit of a fettling after a bit of a ride.
Well happy how it as turned out and it has definitely kept me amused.
So what's next?
