I rebuilt bottom/top end of hobbit. 70cc DR, 15.15 SHA (may go back to stock), proma estoril.
Just put new tube/tire on front, repacked bearings and brakes look good.
Taking back off end now, making me think what else I should hit while I have it all broken down?
Things I'm considering, are they necessary/worth it?
- variator mod
- rear well transmission modification/rebuild?
- reeds
I feel I have the bike at speed I want, looking more for safety and reliability
Thanks
safety for me means brakes, stopping, adjusting controls lubing cables.lights work, rearview mirror.
Yeah if you have the transmission and rear wheel disassembled it’s a good time to inspect seals and o-rings, brake pads, clean and lubricate brake components, etc.
JCams had an awesome sleeper Hobbit, I don't think he is here any longer, but his posts will lead you to heaven.
Daily rider/52mph sleeper.
