If actually the pastor did it for the sake of Beating Jesus record, He will meet his maker in bottmless pit of fire.
However if he did that as mark of sincere worship to our Lord Jesus, He shall be received in paradise

Successfully fixed the speed sensor to the bike frame and a second part (magnet) on the rear tire. I carefully made sure i aligned them both and what this is that as the tire spins at any speed, the sensor calculates the so called speed and sends it to the controller box which also sends the reading to the LCD screen.

Wider tyre tracks on the sports bike
I prefer a 4 wheel vehicle.

well, I was wise enough to get a wider tire track than the old tire on it. Each man to his own. I would prefer having a bicycle that I can use to do city run than always hopping the bus or using a car to do a city run. because I would also consider paying for park space. its far more convenient and you dont have to work with the pace of the bus plans. Its easier to get to the main train station. with a normal bicycle on full pedal its 15mins. this also includes uphill pedaling. With this, it should be approximately 5-7 mins. Now Imagine someone who has a job located 15mins away from his house and can use this everyday. They are priced possession here and there are dedicated tracks for bicycle owners and these tracks are respected by all. I dont see a problem with this.

in one of my last posts, I calculated a speed of 50kph and this was because the bicycle's rear brake was rubbing off on the tire, therefore not enabling it to reach its full potential. As soon as I got it fixed, it let loose and did its thing.

This was a test run. Raised the back tires up. 57kph. Without pedal assist. shocked

. This is even faster than one of the best swiss/world bicycle. The stromer st2s. Well in terms of speed though.

Car Talk › Re: My Bicycle Restoration Project by redcliff(op): 5:30pm On Jul 31, 2016

I figured the brake pad was rubbing off on the rear tire and i am sure it is because the tire itself is a bigger dimension to the previous one there but i would try to adjust the brake to see how that goes...but overall, all is going normally.

Car Talk › Re: My Bicycle Restoration Project by redcliff(op): 5:24pm On Jul 31, 2016

I raised the back part of the bicycle up and pressed down the throttle and i under 5 seconds i was getting speeds of 50kph. I was very impressed and this is without the pedal assist system. I am guessing with the pedal assist, i should get a speed of 70kp. Well we would see! But im already super excited with this. Its exactly what i hoped for.

Then again there was a little problem. As the wheel was spinning i smelt the tire like it was frictioning against something. As i coulnt do 3 things at the same time , i had to look to see where the tire was making contact with. I did not really see anywhere but later on i found this

In my last video, i tried to do something someone from a previous post asked me to do. Make a quick video if i could and i obliged unwillingly. So i was just curious like i said in my previous video, i ordered a few thing that would be coming later in the new month and i just wanted to be sure what i bought (the kit) was working perfectly. So i roughly fixed all the chords into the controller and i tried to start the LCD but it was not working. So i took the battery inside to charge it for a while and when i brought it back it wasnt still working. So i figured maybe the key on the ignition of the battery wasnt just to lock the battery to the rack for security alone. It was also a stary button to send power to the controller. I inserted the key in the ignition and turned it on and also turned the display buttom on and it worked!. So apparently it shows the weather temperature, distance ran, current speed, battery levels and alot more other things i did not take time to check.

Meanwhile i made a video of trying to do a rough connection of the wires to just see what happens and it did not power on. I took the battery in to charge to see if maybe it was dead before. Who knows.

Its going to be easier because ibwould just shift the bell on the right side of the handlebar a bit to the left and attach it because its small and i am sure it can fit in. But the problem here is that it needs a battery and i have to get one. So last week, i got a power bank as a gift from my employer and i would be using that. Its in a tube form and i checked it, it fits into the controller box very good without obstructing anything. The only thing i would be doing is to pad it a bit with the foam from the old handlebar.

So its the end of the month and y'all know how it is. I bought a few items for the bicycle and i am not sure when they would come by. I hope it doesnt take a while. I got a bike light with 1200 lumens although i saw one of 10k lumen but i was going to have problems of fixing it sonewhere. The handlebar is already filled up and the fork that has a spave for light doesnt have the fitting structure for the light. It comes with its own battery that needs to be attached somewhere. I aready had too many things hanging out if the bike and i dont need extra so i ditched it. Decided to get this

Nigerians are the most smart and most foolish set of folks in Africa at the same time. Nobody beats them to being both at the same time. I wonder when being close to the "down trodden" has being easily equated to good governance. Nigerians are the most logical and yet most sentimental folks on the face of the earth and can never make decisions based on logic. rather they would reason logically and make sentimental decisions. what difference does this make in the lives of Ekiti people? A man who is basically richer than his state and who rigged massively based on the federal might to come into power but yet, Nobody has made any logic out of it. Rather they seem to support, compare and contrast foolishness to foolishness. How apt! Nigeria u r tooo good! I hail thee!!!

who swims in a sea?? . This is no risk but stupidity. Yea, some will say but people cross and make it, it does not make it stupid and good luck to those who think they can only make it the stupid way.

i said float. If you cannot swim, the moment you enter the water, thats the final time you would be seen. there is a possibility that people would want to save you in the boat. everybody there cant be inhuman. but if the person can float, there is a chance that he/she can still get back on the boat.

People die in their hundreds daily on the Medditeranean sea,yet Nigerians would not stop following the 'path of death'.
If she must go,could't she have left these children with someone at least until she gets her bearing in a foreign land?
It could however be that she had nobody to leave them with?
My heart goes out to the poor souls.What will happen to them now?
So many questions.
And people should please not blame Buhari for this.This is a problem that has been with us from time immemorial.Just dont understant when the craze to travel abroad by all means by Nigerians would stop.

sometimes when people are taking these kinds of risk, they should prepare for them. You cannot swim and you know how volatile that sea is. But to take 1k go learn how to swim for swimming pool na problem. or even to learn how to float. thats very necessary!

@redcliff i was able to strip down the original red paint color with simple diy ingredients. The primary was caustic soda, depending on the surface area u want to strip, 100grams of caustic soda will be enough then u will need some sought of sticking agent something to make the caustic soda stick to the surface u will be striping. So for that u will need flour, mix 20grams of flour to the 100grams of caustic soda and u will get a dense paste, then u apply to the surface u want to strip.
Note!!!
U must wear protective rubber gloves so it doesn't contact ur skin, it burns the skin, caustic soda burns skin.
It strips off oiled base paint, the types used for metallic surfaces.
U have to leave the paste on the surface till it destroy the paint, u will notice the paint will start to spoil. It should take an hour or more for it to fully work.
. if u can get a paint stripper it will be more easier and effective instead of this simple diy paint stripper, i looked for it in naija but i didnt get it. @ redcliff its easy to source abroad.
U can see the effect on my handle bars, it was black olor b4, now its stripped

Oh wow. I tell you. Im very impressed that you did that. But to be honest i dont think i would have done that for myself except the frame was rusted and old. Im very impressed. I want to ask. How did your paint hold up? How did you paint it? I can see from your other thread that you sold the bike already. Normally if there was a powder coating company or folks that powder coat in nigeria, it would have made a lot of sense because powder coating is the method used to spray bicycle frames. At least almost all of them.

I use my bmx for flatland tricks mostly with my freinds sometimes we do also dirt riding, and when u doing tricks its better to have no mud guards, imagine wheelies with a mud guard, it will get damaged. Also its based on the purpose of the bike. I dont ride into wet areas and muddy terrian so its fine without mud guards

Yea ive never seen a stunt bike with mudguards tho. Doesnt make sense because its going to obstruct some stunting.
