Nice blog, I'm on a motorized bkie forum and it amazes me how many people can't work on their bikes! The motor and installation are one thing but some are lacking the basics. I'll point them to your blog if they can't figure something out and I don't feel like responding.
I was wrenching on my bikes since I was in the 4th grade. My dad was usually working so I had to figure it out myself. The only thing I didn't do was take apart the bottom bracket but that was because I didn't have a wrench big enough.
I just put this bike together, had to clear out the cobwebs in order to work on it, stopped workin on bikes and onto cars in 10th grade. I put this springer on but I'm thinking about taing it off. It feels like it can easily get a death wobble.
