Almost there. Did some clear coat on the arms and base on the body. Really nice today so I have them drying in the sun.

Grrrr damn it! I think I’m just going to respray the rocker. The rear arms I’m not too concerned about.

Finished polishing, now on to installing paint protection film. Tracing out templates, cutting, then installing.

Re: japjoe7 Carbonda FM1001 build thread
Got some more stuff I forgot to post the past few weeks. Tubolight wheel inserts, Tubolight valves, Stans tire sealant, Shimano brake oil, Shimano brake fittings, Secret Chain wax, Sram foam grips, RYET 3D carbon Aircode saddle. Had high hopes for the saddle but just isn't for me. It's nice and cushy but hurst my butt only after riding half a street block. Looks like for now I'm sticking with the Avocet O2 Air 40R I've had for almost 20 years. October 03, 2023, 09:55:12 AM |

Re: japjoe7 Carbonda FM1001 build thread
First time lacing a wheel. Man, this is a pita! You really need to be perfect with the amount of turns you make all around. Gunna take the first one apart and do over, tension is all over the place. I gotta say though it’s really nice having the Park Tools to do it.
