Jpich85 Posted November 11, 2016 Author Posted November 11, 2016 I'm glad this weird phenomenon has been explained, I thought it was dodgy that it came out differently once I posted the reply but I did find that with the word Eblag lol, sorry for any confusion, this is a great site and whenever I've got a problem I always think of this place first, it's also nice to pass on any help I can too. 1 Quote

KATANAMANGLER Posted November 11, 2016 Posted November 11, 2016 We ( the apes) simply aren't evolving fast enough to keep up. The irony is that as the display resolution improves my eye sight deteriorates and we cancel each other out. Smarter phone plus aging ape equals status quo. 1 Quote

Captain Chaos Posted November 12, 2016 Posted November 12, 2016 people nowadays are so connected all the time, that they're completely disconnected from real life. I have a fucking old Nokia, without camera even, because that's enough to make phone calls and do that new fangled SMS stuff. If I need a computer/internet I go home and use the fucking old desktop thing. Everyone has a smartphone lying next to their bed nowadays, always ready to answer emails and phone calls. Some friends of mine are answering calls even when riding a bike. WTF? You won't die without a phone. Enjoy life as it is. [/rant over] 3 Quote

[/rant over] Ditto on the Nokia not so much a brick phone just a Mars bar in black and white LOL! At work last week everyone (me excluded) moaned / complained so much about their phones not getting Wi-Fi that it required a new Router / modem and an engineer to fit it so £250-300 cost to the company THAT HAS NO WIRELESS DEVICES REQUIRING WI-FI! Selfish bastards! Quote
Jpich85 Posted November 14, 2016 Author Posted November 14, 2016 I did take another look at the hub on Sunday and after stripping it and refitting it, it seemed to off solved the problem thanks everyone, I think it may of been a combination of things, maybe chain slack torque on the rear axle bolt and tight rubbers but luckily it's going a lot smother now. The builds coming to an end and I'm finding myself getting bored without bike bits to worry about or work on now. I do love my smart phone as I can order parts for the bike when I'm out and about and do research while I'm stuck at the shops with the Mrs lol but they can be a bit much sometimes Quote

Jpich85 Posted November 15, 2016 Author Posted November 15, 2016 Nearly mate, I have a few things waiting from the powder coating and id like to put a yoshi can on there but other than that it'll be ready from an mot then, it's my first bike so I'm saving up for all the gear too atm but luckily Christmas is coming up so I should get a nice helmet and boots, then the rest to follow. I'll be going steady on it tho, don't want to tip it over waiting at the lights or something lol Quote

Oh if only you knew, build is the easy bit. Now you have the intimate knowledge, you can take it to pieces in short order time. Development and making it all work is by far the best bit. Have fun. 2 Quote
Screwriverracing Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 How about some pics of the bike? Cheers SRR Quote
Jpich85 Posted November 24, 2016 Author Posted November 24, 2016 I have noticed that I can strip the bike pretty quickly now as in the swingarm, front end, carbs but I'm dreading a time I might have to remove the engine lol. I have build thread in the project area under... This is my build. Quote
