I just found your channel today via Mike Festiva, and I'm glad he mentioned you because I'm loving these vids. That Coleman rearend isn't very forgiving. Aside from airing the rear tire down, another option for rear suspension is to add a spring to the seat. Make a bracket for the seat and put the spring in the rear and a hinge point in the front. Your channel is going to get popular fast, I have a feeling.

@Justin May, thanks for coming over to my channel, I appreciate that! I agree with you about the rear end, its pretty rough, spring seat sounds good 👍thanks for the advice!🙂

Looks like a fun place to explore! Your 2x2 mini bike is working really well 👍 thanks for posting 🙂

@OkayBuilds 2 года назад

Thanks Mike! It is a beautiful place, I want to go there again!

@jamesgreen5560 2 года назад

Mike Festiva sent me here. My only suggestion is to make the front and back mounts universal so you can switch the spares to the front to keep weight over the forward wheel on steep climbs when the extra gas can is empty. I love this build. I'm inspired by your fabrication skill and attention to detail. I'm subscribed!

@georgecarousos6735 2 года назад

You have great fabrication skills!! I would suggest extending the wheelbase to the rear about 4" to 6" and adding footpegs about 18" back from the factory units. This would allow you to change the handling of the bike so it would climb much better and safer. With the longer rear wheelbase, it also would allow you to find tires 2" or 3" taller than what you have now for more air down capabilities and softer ride. The longer rear wheelbase would also allow you to put the Pelican style case on each side of the rear tire like panniers to lower the center of gravity for better handling.

@OkayBuilds 2 года назад

@George Carousos thanks for all the advice and great ideas!👍🙂I will definitely keep that in mind for my future 2x2 build, I'm planning to build one from scratch!

Nice job. Looks like you'd get better grip and a little smoother ride with lower air pressure.

@OkayBuilds 2 года назад

@Marty lawson, thanks! I dropped the pressure a little, but I will try dropping it even more next time, thanks for the advice!

@martylawson1638 2 года назад

@@OkayBuilds with tubes and bead-locks I've gone as low as ~3psi on sand on a full size 2x2 dirt bike. (tires compressed about 40% of their thickness at this pressure.) For rocks/trees I run 10-15psi to protect the rims and only run above 30psi on the road to keep the tires cool and limit squirming. I think you have bigger tires on a lighter bike, so scale the pressure down a bit.

@OkayBuilds 2 года назад

@rcclassiccrawlers4368 2 года назад

Pretty cool build. It works a lot better than I thought it would. I noticed while you were climbing hills the front end got rather light. (Just a suggestion) Try letting all the air out of the front tire and filling it up with windshield washer fluid. It’ll add weight to your front-end and give you more traction too. Oh, and I’m a new subscriber too. Keep up the good work!

@OkayBuilds 2 года назад

@RC Classic Crawlers, thanks, i appreciate you subscribing! Filling front tire with fluid is an awesome idea👍, I will definitely try that!🙂

@MrCaprinut 2 года назад

If you stood up you would probably most likely drive over most if not all those obstacles in this video. Moving the pegs a bit backwards should also help. I have know somebody that was trail bike national campion at some point. They stand up all the time. Some of those bikes also have pretty short wheelbase. Great build btw!

Should upgrade it to taller tires so the disc and sprockets don't get bashed by rocks. Looks like it got pretty close a few times. Also the bigger tires would be a little cushier. Awesome build dude!

@Nathan LeMarbe, thanks man, I appreciate your interest in my build! Taller tires would be nice, but it would be a problem to integrate them into the frame, I'm planning to build a 2x2 from scratch with tall tires, stay tuned!🙂

@patwheeler4940 2 года назад

I noticed u were losing some traction on the front end u should try some foot pegs at the rear and lean forward over the front wheel like the trail bikers do just a suggestion great build by the way.I think the rokon has fold away foot pegs.

@OkayBuilds 2 года назад

@pat wheeler, thanks for the suggestion, that's a great idea my friend!🙂

@gilbertdj Год назад

I just subscribed today, what is the welder you use? The front needs more downforce for traction over obstacles , which you found out , but it looks like the bike would do well in the sand or even packed snow the way it is in this video.

@alternator7893 2 года назад

2x2 bikes usually have a slightly higher gear ratio on the front wheel.

@OkayBuilds 2 года назад

@Atilliator, I heard about it, but in my case without the overrun clutch it would put alot of stress on the drivetrain on hard pavement, does Rocon has different ratios too?

@alternator7893 2 года назад

@@OkayBuilds yes the Rockon has a higher gear on the front wheel, that's actually how I learned about it. The higher gear up front makes it easier to turn and more stable at high speeds, I don't think I'd put too much stress on it, just one more tooth on the back or one less on the front should be enough.

@OkayBuilds 2 года назад

@Atilliator, that's interesting, maybe I should try that on my 2x2, my bike is pretty stable on high speeds, and it turns pretty easy on gravel, but when I turn on hart pavement I can feel that front wheel is tied to the rear, but not too bad

@martylawson1638 2 года назад

My experience is that you don't need to gear the front wheel slower. gearing the front wheel 0-3% faster works the best. Pavement is the pickiest about gearing while sand lets you vary gearing +-15% with minimal side effects.
