    Harbor Freight Tube Roller- Reviews, Mods, Info.

    Yup, you have seen it. Thought about it, and didn't buy it. But for a little over $100, it's a great set of dies. The rest of it is cheap. I know a company over on Pirate4x4 sells upgraded parts (Google it, there's a ton of info). But, the main problem is still poor alignment and curved bends...

    Stratch and drop, hardtail frmaes.

    What sort of stretch and drop do most of you run on your hardtails? I'm assuming this depends on the fork and wheel set-up, but it would be nice to have an idea. Any pics?

    Show me some broken frames...

    I ALWAYS hear about people getting so concerned about people welding their own frames together during garage builds. Yet, I never see any pictures of frames actually failing and I never hear stories of it either. Enlighten me.

    Newb question but I see a lot of reference to needle bearings in the head tube but both frames I have are ball bearings? It doesn't look like I can pop any sort of cup or race out of the frame either?

    Harley fork to XS

    Found a line on a cheap fork for my bike. 1978 Harley Superglide. I feel like a re--tard asking but before I head out the door to buy it, what are the chances this fork is even close to fitting the head tube? I searched and have seen the DNA fork installed and since they are made for the...

    The Mad Max pipe bender.

    Don't laugh....it works. I took an idea that another guy had on the J.J had. He used a small rear drum from a Jap car mounted to the hub. I grabbed a few chunks of tubing I had, a drum brake pad and a bunch of little scrap pieces. It took me about an hour to make. I was shocked that it...

    Let's talk rims, hubs and lacing

    So I picked up a 21" wheel and tire of CL for $50. It looks to me like it's for a wide glide front end. I have no idea what fork I will stumble upon right now, but it got me thinking. What factors go into lacing rims and hubs? I have built hundreds of bicycle wheels and for the most part...
