    Need some kid trailer ideas

    I think I will take the top off his old trailer and see what I can see. I honestly didn't know they had single wheeled trailers, but it seems like a better ride for both of us. It is quite a chore dragging that dual wheeled trailer with my single speed.

    Need some kid trailer ideas

    I thought about one of them, but my boy does get tired on our rides. Be kinda hard for him to sleep on that.

    Need some kid trailer ideas

    My son is 4 years old. He out grew the little bike trailer I have been using the last two years, but he's not big enough to keep up on his little bike when we go on longer outtings. So I need a bigger trailer. I like this one: http://www.99bikes.com.au/weehoo-igo-bike-trailer But theyre a...

    Show your Ind_Chuckz Workman/Heavy duty build!

    Just found this thread. I got the Worksman INB from my local bike co-op. Paid ten bucks for the frame, then got a rear wheel and tire for another 25. The rat trap springer is off an old girls flight liner I have. Cant decide about the front wheel or a seat yet.

    my Worksman as it is now.

    I picked up a rear Worksman wheel and tire yesterday. Wow that is a heavy duty rim. I kinda dig how it looks right now with the rat trap springer and the 26x1 3/8 front tire. Need to get that seat post out of there and decide if I want to use my banana seat or a laid back seat post with the...

    Got some new rides.

    I probably wouldn't know what to do with a rare bike. The blue Free Spirit I am going replace the tires and leave as is. The 3 speed Murry is so amazingly cheaply made. Dont know what to do with the others yet.

    Would like some opinions

    I rode it around a bit with the other bars. it does feel odd. Like I am way too folded up. I think I will keep the Genesis with the apes may change the seat though. There is no padding on that banana seat. Then I can play around with the Worksman with other positionings. Thank you all for the...

    Would like some opinions

    I haven't tried anything yet on the Worksman. Haven't gotten anywheels yet. The apes on the Genesis ride fine. I've put quite a few miles on it over the summer. Just thinking my tastes may have changed.

    Would like some opinions

    This is my Onyx Genesis. When I bought it a couple years ago I wanted a bike like this. With the apes and the banana seat, but after riding it a couple seasons I'm feeling the bike itself is too big for this style. I was thinking making my newly acquired Worksman to look kinda like the board...

    Tire and 3 speed hub question.

    The Genesis rim does need a little bit of spreading, but not more then I can do with my hands. I have Schwalbe Fat Franks 29x2 on it. And they're almost as wide as it can fit. I ditched the idea of using that Shimano 333 hub. Just seems to be not that great especially with how much I plan on...

    Tire and 3 speed hub question.

    Thank you for all the info. I got the Worksman frame without wheels. just the frame and seat and fork and bars. Thats why I was trying to make work what I have laying around. But the Co-op might have some Worksman rims. Whats weird is the 29 inchers off my Genesis actually fit the Worksman...

    Tire and 3 speed hub question.

    I don't see a name on the hub. And looking on line I haven't found out much about that bike other than its a low budget beater. The tires are too rotted to see anything on the sides. Apparently I quoted the internet wrong. 26x1 3/8. I forgot they're not the same.

    Tire and 3 speed hub question.

    I got an old Murry Phoenix 3 bike with the 3 speed hub. I was hoping to use that rim for my Worksman bike, but I found out it looks like there's no wider tires that fit that rim. It has the 26x1.375. So my first question, is there a wider tire, in the 2 and quarter range, that would fit that...

    Got some new rides.

    Ok I went to the Ogden Bike Collective for their fall sale. picked up a Worksman Cycle frame for 10 bucks. I put my rat trap springer fork on, and the rear tire is a mountain bike front just to get an idea of sizing. So after I got that I went to my dad's neighbor who collects bike looking...

    Need some guidance.

    Thank you very much. That helps. I did put everything into baggies when I took it apart. I'm really excited to get building it up. I built up my Genesis but that doesn't really count since its a new bike with just aftermarket parts thrown on.

    Thank you, I just ordered that book.

    Need some guidance.

    I have gotten my Flightliner tore down. Basic goal is to loosely copy the Drag King since it the same frame. And I just tore down an old BMX that I want to restore. But since I never done this before, I am a little stumped what to do next. I know all the bearings will have to be replaced. But...

    Little bent. Fixable?

    Thank you everyone. I got the bike totally tore down now so I will go try to straighten it.
