Then changed, derailleur, cassette (again, 11-21t dura-ace this time)....

may i ask why the hell you put a road bike derailleur and cassette on a dirt bike? if you say to save weight i am going to slap you, as there are much better things to spend money on to save weight (things that cost less and will save you more weight)

anywho, here is what my next bike is going to be. hopefully have it by xmas. my mtb is ok for when i got for a ride with cherie, but when i go out for a hardcore sprint around town like i did on saturday arvo it isn't that good. just not quite as comfortable for high speed riding. i just have to sell a bit of stuff to get it.

cant b bothered writing it all atm cause i forget. i think im close with most prices...

ill post some pics of my bike up tomorrow!

its for sale too... put a fair bit of money into it back in the day. most top range parts.

looking around $550 for it. perfect for skate park or dirt jumps :(

forgot to take a pic today. been tryin to get the stickers off and make it look good to sell :D

Stagea girl- to my knowledge, mongoose arent really worth much these days unless they're brand new and the higher models. wat is your son planning to use it for? if its for him to just ride around the area or to school then it wouldnt matter if it was old. all you would need to do is spray it(only if needed) and buy some cheap parts. but for a more stressful (on the bike) application such as bmx racing, skateparks or dirt jumps, i would recommend a newer stronger frame otherwise u will just be up for more money wen he starts breaking things :D

think of it as a car. inferior parts= constant replacing, superior parts(unfortunatley more $$$)= stronger and long lasting.

i had my pushbike for a few years and gave it hell. daily use on skateparks with stacks onto concrete from decent heights, landing wrong where ive broke bones instead of parts on the bike, hit trees dirt jumping etc etc... and its still in near perfect condition! because i forked out on the higher quality, i havent needed to replace anything since i upgraded the different parts.

well im ranting on...

mongoose aren't worth shit unless they are the ones from the 80's. and if it is a few years old it wouldn't be worth much even if it was a high end model. bikes have changed so much over the past few years, and gotten cheaper. what you used to pay $1000 for about 5 years back you can now get for about half that.

I have an old mongoose frame, was going fix it up for my son, but the bike shop said it wasn't worth it.

Anyone know about mongoose?? They worth anything these days?

If its a Supergoose I'll buy it off you. :D

ok well after looking at the pics, i can tell you that you will be lucky to get $300 for it. sure it might have an odyssey rim on it, and sealed bearing cranks but that is about all that's good. the actual crank arms aren't that good, just the bearings. for $550 you can pretty much buy a 2008 model cleveland, and it is better spec'd. but if you can get $550 for it then well done.

    • Oh, yeah, look - here's the thing. You always replace the tensioner when you're going in there to replace a belt....under normal circumstances. You want to make sure it is good and safe, and that you don't create a reason to take the front of the bloody motor apart again. But in this case, OP is replacing a belt that has aged out on time, not usage. The belt is a million miles away from aging out on usage. The belt gets a time "limit" merely because it is made of rubber and can degrade naturally. The tensioner? Not so much. I reckon it could last forever on the current usage pattern. So I reckon if the thing is going to continue to get used at the same rate, replacing the tensioner is somewhat gratuitous. Would I replace it if I was doing it on my car right now? Hell yes. Because my car does 10-20 thousand kays a year. So it's all going to be the same thrashedness. Would I YOLO it on OP's car. More than likely.
    • I dunno. I think any one of those from each side to sump is probably enough. Remember - this is about creating a path for gas flow up from the sump to the cam covers. That gas flow then has to leave via the lines to the catch can. There's probably little point in providing 100% more capacity from sump up to covers cf. what you have from there to the catch can. Put in the 3 convenient ones? Any which way that you see fit. That'd be my thoughts.
    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
    • Tapin,    So got mine up and realize a few things. First was my slave line doesn’t reach the other side, so I have to get a longer hose made. I want to ask did you have to extend your wires for the CD009 sensors? One on the driver side(right side of car looking at the car from the rear) and one on the passenger side( the left side of car from rear). And do you know what those two sensors are respectively? I know it’s not Speedo since we talked on this already. And I may have to separate the trans again to swap out throw out bearing. We will see. Did you run your RB slave cylinder? I know you cracked your original but replaced it with a nismo. But wasn’t sure if you bought the one designed for the CD009 or not. Thanks
