Do the Arlen Ness extensions for 2 bills Nurse.

 

Yo guys. Its been ages. I got some new Metz for the train and am about to remove my wheels for the first tine on my own. Was gonna grab a 100 craftsmen jack this weekend but then saw the harbor freight high lift jack for $180. Looks nice but harbor freight kind of scares me for some reason. Any thoughts?

Also will be unlacing my spokes and sending them out with the rims to get PCd. The rim and spokes are stock but there is a lil rust on em. Will the sandblasting take care of that? Will it look like **** just PCing my stock wheels black?

Lastly any help on what tools I need to go shopping for to take on all this is appreciated. Spoke wrench etc...

 

Mark had his wheels pc'd while they were assembled. They turned out nice too. That's an option if you don't want to have to go thru the process to re-true the wheel. Just pull the rotor, pulley, and bearings.

 

Murs. I have a set of those plates. There kind of beat up but you cannot see them anyway. There yours if you want. Then you just need a brake cable.

 

yeah i had my front pc'd with the spokes still on, sandblasting is enough, it's stood up beautiful too.

 

I have Monotubes and use the spacers for the 2" drop. It's definitely a stiffer ride but feels a whole lot better than stock and you're not nosediving everytime you brake. Feels fine 2 up.

 

? for frwd. extensions?

 

yeah...as is they are too short for my legs. Really the only thing I dont like about my bike. The guy that owned it before me was considerably shorter than me.

 

I'm thinking Murse is talking about extended forward control pricing, not the extension plate kit for the stock controls.

 

Yep, Murse, look into the Ness extension kit. It just bumps the foot controls out a few inches, everything's included to do it. $200 or less bud. Orrrrr get the plates from Lund and buy your own rear brake line and extended shift rod to make it cheaper. Either way, it's a nice improvement.
