Skip to post 9. 1-8 are flops :) Was digging thru the headset pile and found the elusive bearing to allow a 1" threadless fork to be assembled into 1 1/8" threadless cups. Fork crown 1" Lower bearing cup 1 1/8" Upper bearing cup 1 1/8" Top bearing race 1" threaded, no lip on the bearing...

Ran across this in the classified and may pick it up. Dont need another bike at all, but looks like a 24" chrome wheel, friction shifter, small cage derailleur, good stem, interesting bars, fork with chrome topper. Lot of clean parts there that could easily become a 24" muscle bike.

Posted this in a build and wanted to share on a how to. I was building a bmx, but this should apply to any single speed using euro bottom bracket. When the bottom bracket was assembled in the frame there was more offset on the drive side, makes sense since they're set up for multi speed. I...

Need to clean up the threadless steer tube aluminum chunk, left it on to seat the bearing race, as well as a little height adjustment in place of a suspension fork. Will drill or cut slots in the threadless headtube for plug welds.

I usually don't like linking other sites, but I posted up details on bmxmuseum https://bmxmuseum.com/forums/viewtopic.php?pid=7209272#p7209272 This is what I've figured out. Any tips appreciated. Hope this helps someone give it a try. A proper upholstery stapler makes all the difference...

Wanted to get some opinions on people favorite banana seat for 26". Considered making one with the front narrow and flaring out for the actual seating position. Would be hammered over a buck, upper and lower pan, with enough arch side to side for rigidity and a rolled side lip. Ive hand...

Been thinking of how to make a sissy bar, theyre generally hard to find that actually fit a 26" and shipping one is painful. So I have galvanized conduit and a bender and a vice. I can always cut a flat steel plug and hammer it into the end for the dropout mount and figure out a little crimp...

Helping a neighbor kid get a bike going. She was gifted the bike, and doing some training for a triathalon. Chain broke and destroyed the front derailleur, had a tiagra, odd model, replacements were $40-50. I picked up a tiagra that I thought would work for $15. Well, I apparently didnt...

Looking for shimano fd-4403 front derailleur 3x9 31.8 clamp. Neighbor kid was gifted a pretty nice trek road bike, shes training for triathalon and broke a chain, and somehow mangled the cage on front derailleur. I told her and her Dad I'd throw a chain on and then saw the damaged front...

This is the first euro BB that has whipped me. Replaced several of them in really scroungy mountain bikes. This one rotated a little tight, no notchiness, but I wanted to swap it. Non drive side came off. Drive side I had the BB socket clamped in the vice with a bolt and washer on it to...

Theres a Specialized FSR for sale locally, looks like the pic appears to be 1999, blue with red decals, red manutou fork. Kinda has me intrigued. Rear shock has been changed to a strut, hopefully an upgrade. Anyone own one now or in the past, will probably take a pile of parts to get it...

I have a 94 trek 930 with rock shox quadra 10 forks, theyre dead so its been sitting for some time. My buddys teen son was looking for a trail rider to keep at their cabin. Guess what pops up, '94 trek 930. Exact match to my bike with a bit smaller frame. It was meant to be. The rock shox...

Had to straighten a set of forks tonight, I usually shove them in the chain hooks on the side on my truck hitch receiver. These forks were too narrow. Cast iron street drain cover has horizontal slots that fit a set of forks very nicely. I wedged a scrap of carpet between the fork and the...

Cleaning out the bin, I'll never use this stuff, if anyone else can. Garbage goes out april 14. If you want any of this let me know and we'll figure out shipping. Brakes with white cable are vintage, the rest is modern. Front derauleur is falcon.

I May be able to build a spaceliner style swinger fork outta this pile. - Blue fork as the main - Swing arm as the support - Aluminum coil spring hangers as the rocker at the bottom of the fork - Find a trailer leaf spring. I really like the look of leaf spring springer forks. If anyone has...

My wife sent me this, had to post it up. Just for the record we never had the kid seats. Put both daughters on tricycles then striders, 16", and now both on alum frame mini and jr race bikes 6 and 8. This summer, time to learn to jump and bunny hop. :thumbsup:

I tried searching and only saw on reference. Anyone used this. How wide it it for real, does it ride well, or ride like a cheap hard tire. Thanks.
