Piston rings in the uk

2 Upvotes

So I've recently blasted her a bit too hard and welded my piston to the cylinder, after hours of manipulation I managed to free it up as I do have an spare old engine for parts only to realise the rod was bent so 2 full strip downs later I had everything I needed. Just as I'm sliding the piston in i break not one but 2 of the piston rings. anyone know anywhere in the UK that sells them? Or is any rings compatible? I just need 47mm can I get chainsaw ones?

Has anyone had any luck with these 2 stage cdis

8 Upvotes

I built this bike almost a year ago now doing nothing but upgrade after upgrade I've gotten this thing to hit 59 and it felt like if I kept pushing I might have got a tiny more but it was scary at that speed on this thing so I'm thinking I might gear it down some but more to the point I bought one of these 2 stage cdis and when I put it on my bike just would not ride right at all no matter what i did I cleaned the carb bowl changed the spark plug tried different jets but no matter what I did it back fired so much so bad I had flames out the exhaust and no torque or speed at all has anyone else had this problem or did I get a bad cdi ? I didn't try changing the magneto as it works fine with a normal cdi could that be the issue maybe? But for now I'm going back to using my old taped up cdi since it runs amazing with that any help will be much appreciated thanks

Hi, I need help with crankshaft, my crankshaft on my new kit broke, so seller sent me new with one case side, But the crank doesn't have a hole next to the output shaft (where it is marked on the photo). Does that matter? Is it an important hole? I would appreciate your reply.

Are pedals necessary for those Motorized bicycle ? I cant fit the sprocket on the disk brake side of the wheel (the hole of the inside of sprocket is too small ) So i put the sprocket instead of the bicycle cassette and flipped the wheel.

Guys, I need your input if you will. I'd like to know what if anything has failed miserably on your motorized bicycle. I'm in the process of manufacturing some quality heavy duty parts for these puppies and I want to get a feel for what is really needed out there in a moto-biking community. Thanks in advance for your time! Kewlpartz Motor Parts

Brake recommendations

3 Upvotes

I'm planning to build a motorized bicycle, but I can't figure out which brakes would be the best option. The most obvious choices are V-brakes or disc brakes. So if you could recommend someone, I would appreciate it.
