    Cool tools

    Long story short, a friend called me up and said he was no longer allowed to ride (due to a brain tumor) but he'd like for me to take some of his stuff and use how I saw best. I thought it was just going to be a few things...turned out to be a lot! Filled my son's van up in fact. The bikes (2...

    Freehub or Freewheel

    I want to remove this cassette/sprockets/rear cogs but I'm not sure which of these two types of hubs I have. If someone can tell from my crummy pics what I have and what tools I need to remove it, I would greatly appreciate it! :?

    Kayak Trailer....or is it?

    My wife has gotten bitten by the kayak bug and since we do not have a truck but rather a minivan w/o a roof rack, we decided a trailer was needed (carrying it inside the van was rather tight). Found this on CL for $200...not bad, some problems like it needed new(er) tires...and racks to hold a...

    Peace, Love and Daisies

    Finally got around to putting together the "other" bike today (story here... viewtopic.php?f=1&t=52040 ) Like every Huffy bike I've ever come across, they have been trying to save the world from the grease shortage...and therefore did not use any grease at all on any of the bearings...

    Had a day off on a beautiful day!

    I'm a middle school teacher and we had the day off. Temps were in the low 70's, bright and sunny, little wind...it was awesome. The Girl (aka 11 yr. old daughter that has no choice) and I decided to take a ride to my work for some simple paperwork that couldn't be done at home. Most of the trip...

    Allie Cat's "Daisy Mae" (pic intensive)

    So my little princess turned 11 this week and she was way to big for her old 20" bike. She has extremely long legs and it just looked funny to see her ride and it was obviously uncomfortable so a search began! (oh, and she demanded it be a cruiser similar to Daddy's! :mrgreen: ). At first I...

    Went for a ride tonight

    Not really that big a deal. It's just, I hadn't ridden since September or so. "Stuff" just kept getting in the way. But today, the sun was shining, the breeze was light and the temp was in the low 70's. Plus I came home from work before dark w/ an hour to spare. I had to pump up the tires of...

    StepChld's Current Fleet

    I liked Ratrod's idea of creating a thread and updating it as my fleet changed around, so in no particular order here is my current fleet until I grow bored with them or my wife says, "Enough!" :P Spirit of '76 Black Betty (the first build and still my favorite rider) Blue Bonnie (not a great...

    Philmont trekking

    Just heard from my son and he's back in base camp w/ his crew. The just did an 82 mile "Super Strenuous" trek and he says they all did great and had zero problems. I'm really, really relieved considering his only other time to backpack was a 5 mile trip he and I took two years ago. :shock: Can...

    So my daughter wants this...

    http://www.walmart.com/ip/24-Girls-Next ... r/10899861 I know nothing about LaJolla cruisers. Anyone know about durability? Weaknesses? They're an aluminum frame but are they really light enough to notice? I ask b/c none of the WM's near me carry the 24" size, only the 26" so I will have to...

    Spirit of '76

    So I admit it...I'm a child of the '70's and I bought into the whole Bicentennial thing. :wink: My first bike was bought a year or so before the Bicentennial and of course had to be red, white and blue and it was the exact same model as this, but w/ a blue seat and a white chain guard. I loved...

    Murray BMX Cruiser?

    So, do I pull the trigger on this? Or am I looking at a 20" BMX? Looks like a 26" to me but I'm not sure. :? http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/bik/2201437992.html

    He was just an ol' gray tabby, but...

    I remember clearly the day my wife and I picked him at the Humane Society, or rather how he picked us. It was one of the first cool days of fall late in September and she and I thought it was time to have a cat again. When we went to see all the cats, he came to us and literally crawled onto my...
