wow,yeah thanks. that's not much more than the grease would cost. I'll add that to my order,I was going get my tires from them too!

Test fitting the rear-end drop,using the front wheel because the rear is currently in pieces. Got this idea from reading the "How To" forum.In this case,took the brackets that wrapped around the baskets,cut,drilled,and bolted them on.(Thanks RRB) It still needs some tweaking,like a larger bolt...

yep,that's the one.Thanks

I finally found the serial # on my Huffy. It starts w/a 2.Tires are REALLY rotted and all I could make out was 26 ??5.They're pretty skinny so I assume it's 26X1.75. So what have I got? 62? 72?

Thanks all. I'll drop em' in vinegar today and pick up some grease too.

Cool. That sounds alot better than ordering the wrong size I'll do that. Thanks. Hey,it says yr in "DFWland". What part? I was born and raised in N. Richland Hills

I want to replace the rusted headset bearings in my project bike. There's no bike shop nearby so I have to order online.Can anybody tell me what size/type this is?

The front tire on my bike,a Huffy Express of unknown vintage,is 24x 1 3/8, the back is so far gone that I can't make out the size,but I assume it to be the original,probably 26x1.75. The question is,what is the maximum width i can safely put on these rims?

Thanks. Yeah,my neighbor is a welder so I could put a top tube on it, don't know yet,I have several ideas and I change my mind everyday. Guess I'll just cross that bridge when I get there.

A few years ago my cousin gave me a Huffy Express ladies bike that had been in his yard,getting rusty for years. I finally decided to do something with it. Should've taken pics before tearing it down,but here's what i have to start with... since I don't have an actual "before" pic, I'm...
