Joey, I have plenty of old SAE wrench, but have only a couple of metric ones. So a new set was still cheaper than buying individual cone wrench. Emiel, Sorry you can't find these on the side of the road in your country. Today was both real good and real bad. (No injuries) I continued to take...

Thank you Paul and Joey, you were both right. the axle is 3/8in. These won't be good for my purpose. But it's going to be a good guinea pig to learn new skills. Bought this set of metric wrench that will converted to cone wrench when needed. Paid 28$ for the set. This is the first to be...

MrIdaho, I've been checking the price of Hobart 140 in Canada and, wow, they are expensive. Twice as much as in the US. I will look into used ones. I'm still a couples of months away from welding, maybe I'll be lucky.

Wow, that drawing looks great!

Thank you all for your replies, I appreciate your support. I have so much reading to do. I have 6 plans to go through. I'm sure it will help wrap my head around this new rabbit hole I'm jumping into. I did not plan to weld myself until now. I found a local cooperative workshop where they have...

Hello Everyone, I will detail here my StreetFox builds, yes with an S. I want to build one for my wife and one for myself. But first, I need to collect some parts, which I'm working on. First question if I may. The SF requires two BMX 20inch wheels. Must they both be BMX front wheels? Can I...

Thank you Sir Joey and Brad for the warm welcome. I will start a build thread where I will show my progress and inevitably ask all my questions.
