Probably for the better if you know what i mean. the suit: nothing fancy but better than my own skin...lol http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/Detail.bok?no =1124   Coturi Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 11:33 am:        Nice J, I dig it. Off to work I go.   Axil5 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 11:53 am:        thats pretty sweet J,   Lazyj Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 12:33 pm:        i just liked the price for what i was getting.......color....obviouosly, spine block, and well...less than 500 bucks shipped   Axil5 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 01:10 pm:        hey bill, you going to sew on some knee pucks to your leather pants!!!   Bhemph0 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 01:21 pm:        Hey guys, the new tires are on the bike and service is done. Just need to get my axle sliders on. I am trying to get my dads Ridgeline for the trip which is now pulling there RV in Canada. Glad to hear you are going along Mike! If nothing else maybe we could have a foot race around the track /; Take it easy on that wrist so we can do some snow kiting this winter!   Lazyj Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 02:50 pm:        Speaking of Axle Sliders: Anyone want to give me an idea of cost to have someone put together a set 4 me. I'll pay you for the work and the materials obviously. Im Lazy.....thats why i havent done it yet....just like the frame pucks.   Axil5 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 05:23 pm:        j, gonna cost ya about 20 bucks for all the parts... pretty simple to put on though... i might be able to help ya out... i dont know when i will have time mike?   Coturi Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 06:53 pm:        Yup, just about twenty smackers, let me know if you need some help.   Cms1172 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2007 - 09:40 pm:        what parts are involved, would love the sliders for my bike too, I also wish I could go with you guys, I am from that area and have lots of family there. (wouldn't tell them I was coming though, too much of a headache), just take lots of photos and share when you guys get back   Lazyj Posted on Friday, August 10, 2007 - 10:42 am:        Uh yeah...i need help...lots of it. Including with the sliders so pretty much anytime you got to help me put them together would be appreciated...I can do it pretty much whenever so just let me know what i need to do.   Axil5 Posted on Friday, August 10, 2007 - 02:42 pm:        you need to get a set of skateboard wheels, 4 total... j, you might even be able to find yellow ones!!! (but there going to fade) then you need to get two steel rods that are threaded on either side, need to be just slightly longer then your axles(enough to have skatebaord wheels on and bolted, probably sticking half inch longer on either side of your axle)..... your rear axle is wider then your front so measure before ya buy, get some solid bushings, the ones i got were the white ones that you can slide the rod through, try to get them as thick as possible... i think the ones i got were about half an inch thick... they are going to be different diameters for your front left and right and your rear left and right... so measure your axle tube openings on both sides... (i cant remember what size they are) your going to need some washers and nuts too.... putting them on is pretty simple... take one of the skateboard wheels and attach the rod through it with a washer and nut, then slide a bushing on the inside of the wheel, then slide the rod through the axle openings. the bushing should slide inside the axle. then you can put the bushing in on the other side put the wheel on washer and then nut... kinda gives you an idea of whats going on... as far as help for putting them on... i will be out of town this weekend... maybe mike is available??? if not i can help some time after work next week   Coturi Posted on Friday, August 10, 2007 - 06:19 pm:        I'm back home, surgery was successful as far as I can tell. I'll try to help you guys out as much as I can being drugged up and all. Just give me a call, and you can take my sliders so that you can buy the same parts. Let me know. 230-5387   Bhemph0 Posted on Friday, August 10, 2007 - 06:20 pm:        Just a thought on the axle sliders. How about using a rubber stopper approx. 1.5" long inside the axle then a small nut & bolt set up that would tighten down the slider wheels the same way bar end mirrors do. Bolt could be a 3/16x 2" stainless allen head. should be light & strong???   Cms1172 Posted on Friday, August 10, 2007 - 06:51 pm:        Hey if anyone here locally has the chance to go and get parts, let me know and I will give some cash, maybe we can get a group discount. I work in Boise during the day. just let me know. 440-3524   Axil5 Posted on Friday, August 10, 2007 - 07:09 pm:        i dont think it matters to much as to how you really attach them... as long as they dont have room to move inside the tube, hence the bushings, looking at mikes ... the one that was made of a softer bushing moved quite a bit and bent the bar, no damage to the fork, but will have to have a whole new set up, the rear stayed in place and just ground away the wheel... i would just keep that in mind...   Coturi Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 09:50 am:        I think you are going to want it as rigid as you can. The advantage of a rod all the way through is each side works against the other, keeping it all tight. Looking at the aftermath of mine, they would have completely ripped out if they weren't connected to the other side. There is quite a bit of shearing force involved when the bike is sliding.   Axil5 Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 10:46 am:        we should get together this week afterwork sometime, we can further dicuss miller and also maybe we can put the frame sliders together for those that want it... sound good? what day works?   Lazyj Posted on Saturday, August 11, 2007 - 11:59 am:        I can get together most any night and time so if you guys want to for sure just give me a ring or post something here. 863-7523   Bhemph0 Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 11:21 am:        How about getting together tomorrow Tuesday after work to get the slider parts. Is Lowe's the best place to get the hardware?   Coturi Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 11:27 am:        Yeah, Lowes should work. Where? when?   Lazyj Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 11:33 am:        Ok so good news....i have a suit.bad news....it fits perfectly on the top half but the bottom feels huge in the legs. I realize that when in riding position its a whole different story and it does seem to fit a little better when on the bike. Anyway.....mike or sam im just curious if either of you have the same issue with your suits..they are both different brands so i just thought id ask to see if it was a common issue with 1 peice suits in general.   Lazyj Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 11:53 am:        im off at 5:30-6pm. I will try to go out tonight after work to find some skater wheels 4 my bike so then all i would need help with is picking hardware and putting the things together.   Bhemph0 Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 12:06 pm:        How about meeting after 5pm at the Lowe's on Overland near cole. park the bikes out front and see you in the hardware aisle. I will go to Newt & Harold's tonight to get the wheels & to make me feel old!   Lazyj Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 12:13 pm:        Sounds good to me. Are you picking up wheels for the group of us and we can pay you back?   Bhemph0 Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 12:38 pm:        I think because of color choices, size & such may be best to pick out our own. kinda like pickin your nose or your friends nose   Lazyj Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 12:54 pm:        ha! ok thats what i thought., i just didnt want to show up with more wheels than needed...or none at all. So: after 5pm. Tuesday the 14th Lowes on Overland. I'm assuming we need the bearings with the wheels am I correct? (Message edited by lazyj on August 13, 2007)   Cms1172 Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 08:38 pm:        Where is a good place to pick up the wheels at? when it comes to that stuff I am lost, guess I am just too old for the kids stuff (like wheelies at 80 for example), I am up for Lowes, just after 5:00 on Tues.   Lazyj Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 10:02 pm:        i just picked my wheels up at Zumiez from the mall. probably not the best place to get them but i was there...set of 4 for 15-30 bucks. i managed to get some discounted ones for 15 bucks.   Coturi Posted on Monday, August 13, 2007 - 11:05 pm:        You don't need the bearings. I'll try to make it there to show you guys what you'll need.
