Fork finishing, with smaller nuts (just missing springs for moment) and fork adjustments for soft functioning
Transmissions installation (thank you also to Eddy K for precious help) :clap: :clap: :thumbup:

Of course. 100 rpm

If I need to put faster transmissions, it will be easy to change. :thumbup:

Have a good day. :wave:

Somebody can help me to explain what are these parts right and left in the red circles? Some pictures of kettenkrads are with these parts and others KK are without. I would like to know what is was for and if I leave on my KK, or if I remove the parts.

Thanks for your answer and have a good day.

Fred.

Hi, Fred! I am glad you are back to the Kettenrad build. I read through it again, and I did not see anyone ask this question, so I hope it is not a repeat. Why is the rider's head blotted out? :wtf: Was that the work of a wartime censor? :haha:
