  1. Hey all, i built a mini big giraffe yesterday and took it for a spin
    this morning. It's super dodgey as the frame is all out of whack. I
    still need to put a chain tensioner on it because there is a huge
    amount of chain slop. In this clip i look like a dork cause im leaning
    forward so far but that was my 8th go ever on a giraffe.

    thanks

    In theory, there is no difference between practice and theory, in
    practice, there is.

  2. you should really lean back more when you ride.

    what was that real dodgy sound, was it the chain or the cranks or the
    wheel or something mysterious?

  5. Cool! How did you end up lockout out the hub? I assume you have access
    to welding equipment?

    I don't think there is any reason for you to learn forward like that,
    have you tried riding it sitting up straight?

    P.S. It sounds like somethings wrong with your bearings?

  7. to lockout the hub i just welded the side of the sprocket onto the hub.
    The tie was because i was in school uniform

  9. 'Pictures' (http://tinyurl.com/hlhng)

    theres the pictures of my mini big giraffe.

    i know what your all thinking, it looks super super dodgey and crappy
    and is all out of whack, but i dont care because it works and thats
    good enough, lets not have a huge conversation on how [censored] it is.

    the chain is still a little sloppy but is a lot better with that
    tensioner wooden thingo on it.

    don't look like a dork...... Just a little like frankensteins monster
    (sticking your arms out the front)😉

  12. I hope that those booger welds hold up man... I think that would suck to
    hit the pavement from that high....

    Good Luck...
