Yep, washers and adjusters should do it. I had the same issue some time ago.

I have a 1988 Kuwahara Lion that has U-brake mounts front and rear.

They do look really cool indeed. I just saw that you had already photographed them. Somehow I missed that. In my opinion, tyres should belong wherever you want them. If you need a full-sus-city-ripper, then go for it! Bikes are meant to be ridde. For me, they don't have enough knobs, but they...

And you would love it ! I guess you'll have a lot to do if you come over 😁

Really nice bike and it sounds pretty well going down those stairs. For crank bolts I would use some self extracting ones as they look nice and are super practical. When it comes to grips I really like the ODI Attacks both in look and feel. What tyres are those?

The icicles suggest that you completed most of the race in a drift. Respect!

What a beauty! Nice work!! No colour I would have chosen back then but it looks awesome! (that white Stumpy too 😉)

I know it's not a classic mountain bike anymore, but screw it, it's the best I could do with the frame, and I can't wipe the grin off my face when I look at it, let alone ride it. So please don't judge me. Cheers, brothers!

As mentioned at the beginning, the bike is simply fun, no matter what. The frame is stiff, playful and agile. Together with the very sensitive suspension fork, which feels like it has more than 100 mm of travel, and brakes that can be operated with one finger, the bike invites you to let rip...

After the first test ride, I replaced the stem again and then headed back outside!

Since I didn't want to re-paint the frame for the time being, I just blued the bare spots, which is enough for now. The assembly went quite quickly, as cantilever brakes and gears didn't need adjusting. And so my lil' kerfuffle was already ‘finished’.

2.5 in the front, 2.4 in the back

One brake was still in a box of spare parts, but I needed a second one, a few discs and another fork. Luckily, I found what I was looking for quite quickly online. For the price of just under seven kebabs, the new fork was mine... virtually unused, smooth as butter and 1.2 kg lighter than the...

However, the fork is much too high...and it weighs almost 3 kg... Something better would be found later. All of this naturally led to the topic of brakes. Cantilever or V-brakes were not an option here, so disc brakes remained. This would of course be a good idea, as this bike will also...

Since I still had unused 26" tyres for rough terrain and muddy trails, I had the idea of building an anything-goes-fun-singlespeeder that would pick up where my Brodie left off. A suspension fork would be quite useful for this. I still had a Marzocchi lying around, and everything else I...

Hello everyone, This is a thread that nobody asked for, but I feel like writing it anyway. It's about a bike that has been giving me incredible enjoyment ever since I started building it this January. I can't remember where I got the frame from, but one day I found it in the way while tidying...

What a lineup! You guys really don't miss a beat!

Also full of protection cages for the derailieur and chainrings... brazed frame, sloping top tube, rear brake cable within the top tube...in 1985. Built for rough terrain and good handling when the going gets steep. And the name just rocks 🤣

Stiffen up the fork that was bent beforehand for more flex....or so. But most important:

Nice one!! You don't need it anymore, right? Right?
