    Need Coaster Brake Advice

    Need advice. I have a cruiser with a Falcon FC-E10 (sez so on the brake arm) coaster brake. It works well, problem is it "growls" when coasting. Sounds like a fender brace is rubbing the tire. If you press back just a hair like you are going to apply the brake it quiets down. The brake works...

    Not a "How To" but an exercise in problem solving

    So this 20 in. Hummer H2O is left on my doorstep. I call around and cannot determine where it came from. I checked for "stolen bike" listings on Craigs, and actually called my local PD to see if they had a report. No dice, so after leaving it visible on my front walk a couple days, decided it...

    Hand Cleaner

    I painted my BBQ grill today with some high-heat oil based paint. I got most of it on the grill, but some wound up on my hands. I went looking for something to clean off the paint spots. When I was a kid, about all we had was gasoline, and leaded at that. Surprised I'm still around ;). I...

    CL was crazy busy yesterday (Sunday).

    Really nice weather in DFWLand yesterday. Listed 5 bikes in 3 ads for sale. Text msgs came in fast and furious all afternoon. Was hard to keep up with it all. Sold 3 bikes, and 2 junker BMXs are spoken for next Sat. Best day I've ever had flipping bikes.

    Cheap Bike Cleaner

    I flip a lot of bikes, so they are mostly relatively new box store bikes. One thing I can say for these cheap BSO's (bicycle shaped objects) is that the paint/graphics on them is very good and durable. You might not want to take this advice on your older vintage Schwinn where the graphics are...

    Better Way to Install ERGO Grips

    *IF* you have hand brakes --- Install them backwards. Seems crazy, but they support the Palm of your hand instead of the Heel of your hand, way more comfortable if you have hand brakes. No Hand Brakes -- install as usual. .

    My Moto finally arrived!

    Motobecane FB4 Comp. I have it about 99% assembled. Only part missing is a chain master link, and I don't have one for a 3/32 chain. Front 100mm wheel and 4 in. tire - VERY un-scientific lift test, I bet this is about 1/2 the weight of the Beast/Dolo wheel/tires!
