Kona Humu Build

[richiehops]

Started Building the Kona Humu Humu project this afternoon.

Homemade headset press worked a treat. cost £4

Going to get a BB and fit tomorrow. Can anyone shed any light on how to ensure I get the right length square taper bb for a single speed set up. Will be fitting 3 ring truvative crank but with one ring and will use spacer kit on 10 speed rear hub wth single cog.

With out a bb fited it's hard to estimate and measure the distance. Have looked at sheldon brownsdata base, still a bit confused.

Thinking 118mm bb would be a good middle ground for chainring clearance, chain line can e adjusted with spacers on rear wheel.

Now I need another paperweight.

Watching progress with interest.

Don't forget to do me a feedback. Thanks for tidying my shed.

Ha. Looks nice that stem!

Did you send me the mounts for the disks?

Little bag of 6 bolts in the plastic bag.

 

[richiehops]

Cool, thanks. I guess I missed that.

Pretty much finished.

Need to sort brakes. Bought a shimano post to is adapter for front but it doesn't seem to clear the calliper housing. Hope I can get the correct one and still run with the 160 rotor.

Re:

i was thinking that. does it not effect the calipers hitting the rotor in the correct place?

 

[The History Man]

It would but how much do you need to clear it? There are different mount shapes for same rotor size too.
