Xtracylce Hooptie on the Yuba Mundo

Kludged the Hooptie onto the Yuba.

Lots of changes- no blogging. Now can blog from smartphone so lets see!

Current Yuba setup:
Fat Franks
Disc Brakes
Bread Platform
Kona Ute Bags
Rolling Jackass Stand
Xtracycle Hooptie

Big Apple

Rear wheel is ready to go. Schwalbe Big Apple tires

are the choice for this build. (26 X 2.35) If you are setting up a disc brake xtracycle the rear is designed for a 203mm rotor. Just have to paint the forks and I can get rolling!

Disc Brake Tab!

Tough to get a photo a night with your phone-but here goes. A 20-something year old BRC with a disc brake on the original uni-crown fork.

I love these photos. They couldn't even wait to fully unwrap the bikes!

Mama Nachibona enjoyed riding Mundo bike at Mtula!

BRC Sierra

Here are a couple of pics. Sorry for the poor quality. Stripped the bike down- first project is the forks.

Going disc brake all the way- want to keep the original BRC unicrown fork.

Traced out a disc brake tab on another fork and crafted this. Sparks will fly tonight!

Projects- Xtracycles and Boats!

Had a little left over energy last night. Hatched a plan to get a couple of projects going with this blog as motivation. I hope to document both of thes projects on a (more) regular basis.

Project 1)
I have had an Xtracycle up and running for some months now. Its setup on a white aluminum MTB frame. Rides awesome- but I am drawn to STEEL. Got a twenty something year old BRC mountain bike frame. (BRC = Boyes and Rosser Cycles) Some of their bikes were pretty well set up. Follow along as I shove an Xtracycle on it- including disc brakes. And its Black. Photos to follow.
Project 2)
A partly finished Cedar Strip Canoe. How much time will I have- or is this a new-years resolution? 18 feet at the water line and nicely making wake..........

Bicycles for Humantiy

Its happening. 447 Bikes in the container. Shipping details to follow! b4hvictoria.blogspot.com
