2011-09-11T12:43:00.004+02:00

The Windage pushrod tubes are too long en caused some leaks, so i'm trying to fix this by installing CSP pushrod tubes.
Hope this will also fix the pushrod clearance problem.

2010-02-26T11:19:00.002+01:00

The VeloSoleX F4 is a bicycle made for children. It is based on the VeloSoleX 3300 but reduced in scale by 2/3. The tyres are 400A Type Y. It has a caliper type of front brake and a rear drum brake. The headlight is powered by a battery inside the engine. The freewheel transmission is at the bottom axle instead of at the rear hub. The chain is fully enclosed for safety. A toolkit with small tools on foam is found in a compartment beneath the rear luggage carrier. The seat is adjustable in height and angle.

2010-01-04T09:39:00.011+01:00

This winter-cookie-project is keeping me busy lately.
For the rear end i'm going to use 5x205 to 5x130 wheel adapters so that's one problem solved.

For the front end things are not that easy(yet).
I traded my drum dropped spindles for a set of dropped disc break spindles...done deal!

Borrowed a '83 rotor disc and caliper(thanx SL1!) for test fitting but this does not seem to work:

caliper hits the rotor disc on the outside.

Suggestions are welcome! Meanwhile the battle continues.

Next step: narrowing the front beam for about 3 inches.
