>Finally finished that 90s MTB resto conversion mod>It rides badly
>>2067561Maybe you should have just bought a new Specialized instead of being poor.
>>2067561Yup they all suck to ride
>>2067561should have gone for 80/70s road bikes, those as long as cromo will guarantee to ride smooth. The 90s rigid meme I always considered an elaborate troll post since most are made out of early low quality piece of shit aluminium you meant to throw away after a single ride.
>>2067561>got a wheel with a seized shimano inter 7 for free>rebuilt the hub myself over the course of a week>culprit is the coaster brake that disintegrated, deleted it, also happens to be a common mod to improve rolling resistance on these hubs>works perfectly, got 150 km of testing out of it on my beater>decided to build a period correct bike around it>a year of stalking marketplaces and garage sales for parts>finally it's done>hub started skipping right on the very first ride>read that you are not supposed to regrease it at all (the fuck i was going to do, the original lube was full of sparkles from the brake), and if you do, you should use shimano's super special grease>don't have the guts to take it apart, completely clean it out and regrease it all over again
>>2067574No, the one I did before it was great.
>>2067576Store it well until your in the mood for the job.
