Alright, so I'm building a bike this summer with some spare money. I've been looking into what I can buy, but there seems to be a large debate as to who to buy from. I personally like the models presented by Boy Go Fast on ebay, but I'm a bit concerned about quality. I'd like my bike to last at least 6 months and I intend to use it a lot...
Many manufacturers list "weird" upgrades that I don't understand and all of them seem different. So here are the questions I have:
- What is the performance/quality difference between a slant head and a non-slant head?
- Should I buy a smaller sprocket as I hear it adds power, but I live around a lot of hills... Suggestions?
- I plan on using locktite since I feel like the bolts will come undone. Yes, No?
- I read about an improved chain tensioner somewhere, has anyone used this? Is it recommended?
- The last time (I built one like a year and a half ago) the clutch and the engine stop button didn't work, any ideas why?
- Dual start, is it worth it?
- I heard skyhawk sold the highest quality on market, any experiences?
Please feel free to answer as many or as few as you'd like... I need all the help I can get.
I also liked the Flying Horse Silver from Bike Berry because of the guarantee.
