I'd put the chainring on the back of the spider, if it were on the front it won't have those little ridges the chainring bolts fit into.

I used to work on all my BMX bikes when I was a kid. Strip them down repaint them, put em back together. But now that I'm older. I take mine to a shop because I work full time and only have so much time off from work. So I can support a local business and have my bike done by the time I'm off from work. It's a win win for me. We need to support our local businesses!

Always enjoy your videos! My father raced ten speeds in the 70s and 80s when I was a kid and he bought me a dope 1980 Lotus Legend road bike, I secretly wanted a BMX bike. I never told him and always would watch the guys building BMX bikes in the pro shop. Watching you build a bike brings back great memories! 🙏🏼🤙🏼

Phu I think you are awesome. I build bikes all the time, I have for my whole life out of scraps. Please keep the videos coming. There is a long wire brush attachment that can be found in hardware stores or on the internet that makes cleaning out the frame where the seat post goes a breeze. It will not remove metal and thats where the tool you have will be needed. Mine came with a loop at the end that I cut off so it could be pot into a drill. While using the wire wheel attachment I like to use oil. It lubricate the rusty metal and protect it from further rusting. I hope it helps and I hope you have a great day. I just looked it up it is called (Schaefer Brush 14654 1inch brass tube brush 27inches in length).

@Indicuh9910 ай бұрын
I ride fixed track bikes so religiously the chainring is on the outside flush with the spider. Though, It depends on the build imo. The chainring being on the inside on that bike seems period correct

Hi there guys , from what I’ve seen from being re chrome plating to spray some a cleaner in the frame tubes as the acid’s can eat away inside the tubes , heard from someone who had some rim plated and they crumbled away

Flex hone is what you want for the seat tube cleaning. It needs to be slightly bigger than the hole. The brand name ones are pricey, cheap ones can be gotten from over seas.

Get a cheap brass bore brush for a 12ga shotgun and chuck it up in the drill that works fast on the hole for the seat post 👍

Ewe… Back in the early to mid 80's NO ONE wanted to ride a crappy Diamondback!!! LOL Looking back though, they weren't bad at all. Just a mainstream corporate brand that was a far cry from the family industry brands that formed the industry that was to become BMX! To remove that rust from inside the tubing that frame should have been completely stripped and then soaking in a bath of IRON OUT with CLR!!! It would have removed at least 80% of that internal rust, and then it should have been sprayed with Rustoleum Rust Reformer which turns any remaining rust residue flat black! As for the Crank Axle, place Aluminum spacers between the Sprocket and the base to push the sprocket further in while leaving the pedals squared up evenly! That seat post and seat are HORRENDOUS!!! He should have gotten the S-Laidback Seat post and shorten it!
