Hey all,

Curius to see how many of you guys in Japan ride your bikes around the scenic routs in japan ? I'm a bit of a fan of fitness and I think riding your bike around Japan is a great way of seeing the beautiful country. do many of you experience this ?

found an awesome webpage http://www.kancycling.com/Destinations/Des...stinations.html

with routes and destinations for bike riding.

I don't but I have been riding to work for the past 5years...something I probably wouldn't do in Aust, so I think it's great. I prefer to take drives and have seen some very beautiful country, then when I arrive take out my foldup bicycle for a ride around the area.

But I have 3 mates who do cycling around the Kansai, Chugoku and Shikoku regions during the holidays...in fact you tend to meet other foriegners cycling around too. A mate met his canadian wife this way ;)

I'm the opposite - since moving to Japan I hardly ever use my bicycle. It's way too hot and humid in the summer and in the winter too cold and windy. But if you don't mind the weather and the hard work involved in cycling up/down numerous mountains, then a bicycle is a great way to see rural Japan...

Hehehe - got to wonder how many bikes are stolen each year by drunk salary men, who aint got a clue which bike is theirs after one too many drinks...

I've seen on two occassions guys smashing the hell out of a bicycle lock outside an izakaya only to realize later they were trying to unlock the wrong bicycle! :P:) :)

Yeah, but it is weird - in a country where crime is very low, bicycles are stolen all the time...

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
