    FELT'S ABRAHAM LINKAGE SPRINGER

    Even on my Sunlite one, which was very rattly, didn't make noise while riding. I've never heard the felt one make a noise.

    FELT'S ABRAHAM LINKAGE SPRINGER

    Are you talking about a noise from the rockers? I have this fork on a Basman and no looseness or rattles or other noises. I used the Sunlite version on my Porucho and added nylon washers to take out the rattle.

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    I used nylon washers, no more rattle. Couldn't find bronze washers the right size.

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    Here are the pictures. Can't tell if its' the same on my other one without taking it apart. They are not tight in the bores but they also won't come out easily.

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    That's what mine came with. It has the flange on the inside against the fork leg. I have some nylon washers which will fit over the threaded part of the bolt but I'd have to put the sleeve in the other side of the rocker.

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    Did you put the factory sleeves on the outside and the washers on the inside? I got some nylon washers but they're too small to fit over the shoulder of the bolts. I'm going to go back and look for some bronze ones.

    Roller brake

    I have a couple heavy bikes with roller brakes. One Basman has them front and rear. When I built my Porucho I put a roller brake on the back and a drum on the front. I also have another Basman with only a coaster brake. All of these are running Nexus 8 hubs. The roller brakes work fine except on...

    newer coaster brakes are they really less dependable or is it me?

    I put a set of single speed felt wheels on a Basman I'm building and that hi stop hub is horrendous! I switched it out for a Nexus 8 coaster and I'm hoping that is better. I know the Nexus 7 coaster I put on my ghostrider works well. And yes, your weight does make a difference. Good for you to...

    Panther Pink Schwinn Krate

    I have a Panther Pink 1971 Charger R/T. It's a great color when done right. It's very complex. Great looking bike.

    Monark Mega/Sunlite DeLuxe/Kai Cheng Fork

    So who do you think makes the Felt one? Supposedly Felt is going to make more available, at least that's what they're telling some of their dealers. Sent from my HTC One M8 via Tapatalk 4 Pro
