    Anyone every use a 4 stroke trimmer motor on a bike?

    New Departure Model D Rebuild

    HOUSTON I MIGHT HAVE A PROBLEM! Or possibly not. I have 21 disc's. 11 inside slot, & 10 outside tab. They do mic at 19mm though. I was hoping to get rid of the one with the missing part though. If I do, I loose .97mm. My disc's are all steel. Any advice? Thanks Larry

    They said FREE TV.

    Thanks. The bike is a 2017 Raleigh Retroglide single speed coaster. It was $200 DELIVERED TO MY DOOR From Raleigh. I love it. I DID GO THRU ALL OF THE BEARINGS BEFORE I RODE IT. GOOD THING. BEARINGS WERE ALMOST DRY. NOT MUCH GREASE.
