MINNNNNIIIIII BIIIIIIIIIIKEEEEEEEE MIIIIIIIIIKEEEEEE IS BACK!!! Loving having you back on here man, i always learn something new each video

[@MiniBikeMike]

The camera on my iPhone had been giving me trouble over the past couple months. The video would randomly start shaking, even though the phone was perfectly still. A day or so after my last video, it quit all together. I still haven’t replaced it.

[@cainbeeping8480]

Looks good brother. A little paint makes a difference.

[@johnanderson5891]

Was looking forward to this video. The tires were a little of a fight. The inner tube stayed in, without pinching it. Good info on the brakes, about the dots. I was not aware of that. Will look on my bike for that. Will be looking for the next video. Thanks

[@MiniBikeMike]

It’s a learning process. With the help of the bar clamp, the second tire went together pretty easy.

[@donaldkaderis5524]

Nice cleanup and paint. Going to make the bike pop....

[@scottmcclurken9248]

It good to see you again, glad I found you and thank you for letting us know what happened to the old channel, my KO is almost finished.

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks. It feels good to be back.

[@yokomzare201]

Good informational vids. Thank You

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks for following along!

I use 2 slightly longer screws in the larger holes to get rims together. Then do all 4 small screws. Then remove the 2 longwr ones and install the hub

[@zachsiebers5742]

A soak in evaporust will remove any loose paint and all the rust as well.

[@wheelerdealer4481]

Great video man keep it up.

[@MiniBikeMike]

Thanks!

@@MiniBikeMike your welcome bud. Iam getting ready to start ordering stuff for My 1991 Honda Trail 70 I built the 1969 silver tag on my profile I also have a 71 CT70H gold and I have a 1972 ruby red lined up for projects but Iam in the process of building a 1980 Honda atc70 right now

[@MiniBikeMike]

I just subscribed! 👍🏻

@@MiniBikeMike thank you

[@timblaes7028]

I think I'd use a couple of longer bolts to get the wheels halves together, then go back and install the short ones.

[@MiniBikeMike]

Yeah, I thought about it also, after I was already committed with the shorter ones. 🤣 Using the bar clamp, the second one went together in a fraction of the time of the first one.

[@zachsiebers5742]

I use the hub bolts to get everything lined up and sinched downs then put the rim bolts in. Works pretty well for me.

[@zachsiebers5742]

You can also use a clamp on the tire so you don’t have to worry scarring up the rim. It should give you enough play to at least get the nuts and bolts in place.

[@Mr10usdad]

Mike have you ever had this problem? When I tighten down the front wheel in my 1971 CT70 the wheel does not spin freely. I have new bearings, new brake shoes, and all the correct spacers. I will say that the bearing does not spin with my finger. It needs more force. I am at my wits end.

[@MiniBikeMike]

It certainly sounds like the bearings are in a bind. When you replaced the bearings, was there a spacer tube inside the hub? It’s there to keep you from cranking down on the bearings and binding them up. If your bearings aren’t spinning free by hand, something is up with them.

[@Mr10usdad]

@@MiniBikeMike there was a spacer tube in there. I was sure to put it back in. I ordered some oem bearings just to make sure.

[@franciscoolvera6871]

Great videos! Do you have a video on how to remove the bearings off the front hub. I’m having trouble removing one bearing from one of the sides.

[@MiniBikeMike]

I don’t have a video on that, but I use a long punch inserted from the opposite side and a hammer.

[@fig4snick]

Great videa, nice work.. What colour code did you use to paint the brake drums,? Did you just sprayed them?

[@MiniBikeMike]

Rattle can spray paint. VHT is the brand. The color is: Universal Aluminum

[@omiross2848]

Like the detailed approach in explaining. Could you tell me if there is a way to identify the rims as Honda original?

[@MiniBikeMike]

I’m not sure, I’ll look into it.

[@omiross2848]

Thanks Mike...maybe you could look if there is any engraving on the rims...just an idea

[@warmblood58]

Nice, which silver paint were you using for the rims/hubs? Thanks

[@MiniBikeMike]

@@warmblood58 If you didn’t watch the video, I show the paint at around the 10:00 mark.

[@milwaukeesbeastman]

Awesome video, I am at the same point on my K1. Do you put any clear coat on your painted parts?

[@MiniBikeMike]

Sorry for the delay in responding, just saw this. No, i don't use any clear. Parts i painted years ago seem to be holding up well.

[@jimsweeney6074]

Always a PITA putting the tires on these wheels, I'd rather do a CB 750 than a CT 70.
