that might work. Mine measures 36.0 od x 29.3 at the race. Thickness is 6.7mm

nope....again.....this tube is 25.4 all the way down. No shoulder. I hvae several standard size crown races and they area all 26+. They just rattle around on the tube loose.

id rather not. Mine has the springer fork so id like to fine somthing that works with this headtube if possible.

my cups and crown race are shot. Pitted and rusted badly. I got new cups via a wald 4080 headset that fit right it. Sadly the crown race that came with it did not. These goofy forks have no shoulder at all at the bottom of the fork crown....its just 1 inch all the way down. The tube and...

Will a girls tank fit a boys frame? I can visually see the difference. They look the same. Are they the same dimensions? I have a boys flightliner and another frameset that needs a tank. I know a guy that has a farily cheap girls frame with tank and was thinking i could use the tank on my boys...

thank you. I will stop by the hardware store and pick one up.

What size thread is the bolt on an old schwinn dx......probably late 40s - 50s that threads into the fork crown from the bottom to hold the fork in the center of the fork? I have tried everything i have on hand and have nothing that works. I attempted to hand thread my taps into there and it...

i had those on my bmx bike growing up. They were great. I might go this route. I was hoping to find something like the MKS Sylvan Touring pedal but in 1/2 inch. Those things look sharp on any old build. I suppose i could just run the stock pedals i have. They have heavy wear but they work. I...

I have an old typhoon.....i believe it is a 1966. It is far from original. I am almost finished with it and i need pedals. WHat do people prefer for 1/2 inch pedals? Id like something that looks nice, is functional and is serviceable.

i have a bucket of chain bits as well but no 9sp. It is mostly single speed stuff. I dug through it all and no luck. I bet my local coop has a bit just like you mention though. I am going to check it before ordering new. This is going on a cruiser style bike so i am not concerned with it...

ok....sprocket is in and on. I was hoping to use one of my old 9 speed road chains but i am finding it is way too short. This is likely due to the longer stays. Im going to need to join 2 speed chains. New they come in 116 links and that isnt enough. I will probably go with kmcs 9sp. They are...

I am going to try a 9sp since that is what i have a on hand. I might dial it back to 8 if i cant get things to shift correctly. I am going with a friction shifting setup so i dont think i will have an issue.

dang it....i found and opted for a sweetheart repop i found online this morning before i saw this. If that doestn work out i am surely going the adapter route and probably come Sugino cranks i have already.

Nope. I did not know this. I am now looking into finding one of these.

Thanks. That confirms then that the place i got it from had already done the spacing to 135.
