MTB, Workshop

Fat bike update 3. (Getting shit done.)

Finally getting somewhere on the Mukluk project. The rims that i got from On-one wasn’t drilled. But inspired by this youtube clip i decided to give it a shot. I save about 300 grams a rim and it looks way more cooler. I got the tip to use a step drill instead of a hole drill. (30 mm)

It was actually easyer than i could imagne. The hardest thing was to centrate the holes. A few hours hard work and… Tadaa…

I wanted lime green rim tape. The only way to get that was to make it my self. I used some waxed table cloth and put that under the original rim tape.

Worked out pretty good.

Then it was time to fit tyres and tubes.

Only drive train and breaks left. I’ll go for full 2×10 XT and BB7 breaks. The E-thirteen cranks is in place. I’ve also replaced the big ring with a Race Face bash guard.

The next update will be the premiere ride. Probably around next weekend.

Can’t wait! šŸ™‚
