Mongoose Iboc Zero-G

General Post your ride
1

So I fiinished this today and took it for about 30k ride today, mainly on road and bike paths, with a little bit of dirt. Took me a while to set up the v-brakes because the wheels are slightly out of true, but I eventually sorted them enough to ride it. The shifter and derailleur went on fine though, but I think I need a better chain. The bars needed some adjusting and same with the saddle. It needs a few other tweaks which I’ll fine tune this week, and I managed to get one of the first punctures I have had in a while. I also swapped the pedals to some Time ATAC’s for commuting.

Nice! Looks like a solid all terrain machine.

3

Looks awesome. Makes me even more excited to rebuild my Iboc.

4

i know y’all wanted that 808

5

Yeah, but I wanted to finish on the weekend, so I got a cheap YBN chain. Next Wiggle order.

6

needs purple anodise, other than that, it looks great and brings back many fond memories of my IBOC.

7

Good to see it up and running. Getting me motivated to get the Gemini running.

8

You did good kid.

No chain retention on a standard chainring?

9

Nah. I never dropped a chain on the Cannondale Rack with the X3, so I’m hoping I won’t on this (for commuting anyway).

A couple of years ago if somebody said jols would be leading the vintage MTB charge, I would have eaten my hat…

11

Fedora?

The GO for 8 speed chains, I reckon, is still high end Shimano; bike-discount.de have a few of the better ones e.g. HG91 at silly cheap prices.

#racklyf’d it the other week. Goes alright.
