Does anyone know what brand of rack this is and how good it might work? Been wanting a hitch rack and for 20 bucks this looks to be a good deal. Seller said rack is perfect shape and holds 2 bikes. I just cant figure out from the pic how it works. Guy is holding it for me to pickup this wknd...

Well I finally closed the deal on the mint cond PAV3 . My dream trike or at least I thought. Couldnt get home fast enough to head out for a ride. About 5 minutes into my ride my heart started sinking like a rock. First this thing is super heavy like pedalling a bulldozer. Will not climb even...

Is 2nd gear considered "direct drive"? Meaning this is the same ratio as a one speed hub with the same size sprocket. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

I have the rare oppurtunity to buy a mint cond PAV3 for 250.00 and wondered if anyone has ridden one and your honest opinion. I have owned 3 Worksman porto trikes and 2 Worksman 24 inh trikes. To me their trykes dont ride all that great as far as comfort goes. Goin to look at the PAV3 tomo. and...

I had to share this thing. Saw this on local CL. The plastic body is in bad shape and they want a huge price 300.00. N3ver saw one before. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

I am trying to put a chain on my Worksman Porto after finally getting a freewheel hub. Anyway heres my problem. Using a nesr new chain the first pic is too short. The other way is WAY too long. Theres no other way that I can figure out. Should I go buy a new chain and start over? Sent from my...

Tonite I finished up getting the old Ashtabula back on the road after years of being a yard art flower planter. Every nut and bolt removed. Painted. All new axle bearings etc. Note the seat i got from a junk exercise bike and how you "screw" the threaded shaft up and down to adjust. It also...

I needed a 36t sprocket for one of my cruisers and didnt have one. I did have one on a kids bike but no drive pin hole and was hex shaped in the center. It fit fairly well on the cruiser crank with not much center play at all. Using an old sprocket for a template I drilled a hole for the drive...

Do any of you watch this guy from up in the Hamptons? I have learned several things from him. They do a live YT show on Saturdays. Hes a nut but knows everything about a bike. He must have a heck of a buisness to be able to live amongst the multi millionaires. His online prices are very high...

Got this nice Huffy GV for 10.00. Cleaned up the wheels and replaced a front tube. These are nice riding cruisers IMO. My "daily driver" is an older American built GV. I think this one is China built but still a good rider. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

I buy packs of 10 master links for less than 2 bucks on Ebay shipped from China. They work fine and usaully arrive quite fast. No complaints at all. I just bought a pack today for 1.59 shipped. How can they do that so cheap? Now I need a 22t freewheel and can get one for about 6.50 from China...

I came across this 40t sprocket and want to use it if I can. Note it does not use a drive pin but is sorta squareish where it fits on the kids crank. Well I placed it on a regular crank and it fit near perfect with virtually no side slop at the hub. Drive pin fits between the "spokes" and...

I couldnt resist I bought the old Ashtabula trike for 30.00 and am nearing the end of a complete resto. Everything is coming together fine and I will elaborate more with pics when done but I have a question. The bike has factory 26 inch rear wheels and a 24 front. What do you thnk of doing a...

I like my adult single speed trykes geared at 36/22. With long arm 7.5 inch cranks its a comfortable easy to pedal pace. I just picked up an older heavier tryke and was wondering how 40/24 gearing would be compared to 36/22. With a 36/24 setup you would be spinning and not going anywhere. Sent...

I made a deal on this old trike and would like to know if anyone has other pics. Its an EZ Roll Regal BUT is not a Trailmate. According to Trailmate this tryke was built by a company called Ashtabula who made bike cranks and other things. The tryke was sold as a Sun tryke (not Miami Sun) and...

I picked up this 2012 Worksman off CL for 60.00. Pic is from the sellers ad before cleanup. Pretty much brand new.The rusty chrome came clean. It had some internal issue with the 3 speed hub so I threw it away. Got a freewheel and axle adaptor ordered to convert to factory one speed. These are...

I have a lay back post I want to use. The post is 22.2 (7/8). My frame uses a 25.4. These bushings arent cheap in my sizes. Any off the shelf ideas from a hardware store? Thought about a handlebar clamp bushing. Think I have one of those. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

Today was a great day. Spotted this porta tryke on CL for 80.00 and ended up giving only 65 after a 75 mile trip. Dont let the pic fool you. Some light chrome rust otherwise brand new cond. Now here we go. I know nothing about 3 speed coaster brake hubs. It wont shift. Cable moves. Its in...

This guy thinks hes sitting on a gold mine when hes really sitting on a scrap pile. RARE he says. Just saw one 2 days ago in good condition for 1/4 the price. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/bik/5131408923.html Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

I picked this up for 50.00 from a neighbor down the road. Great shape other than a tube in one tire. I rides really nice but pedals hard as crap. I have a 36t front sprocket to replace that super hi geared 44. I may repaint it. Their grandaughter did the blue green awful colors. Sent from my...
