    Chain woes

    Sure looks like a half link would fit in the space you have the master link at...Push out the pin above the link on the left, reattach it to the narrow end of the half link in stead of the extra chain, and push the half link pin in with the link on the right inside it. Or am I missing...

    MBBO4 Class 2 - DJ's Dilemma.......

    Decided it's going to be a lot of cut and weld.. and new tubing is a must all the tubes are at the wrong angles. On the good news front....the fork out of the 3 speed bike turned out to be a replacement with the sticker still on it..and the threads went way down the steerer tube so it doesn't...

    Craigs 2 stroke NY

    I almost pulled the trigger on this one as I've seen a LOT of similar bikes in the area..then I read up on NYS motorized bicycle laws (basically one big NO) and I think I know why he's selling it. We do have a few areas here in the NY Capital district that seem to let folks get away with these...

    Wal Mart is starting to get it right!

    Now all they need is a "Please use a Pedal Wrench" on the pedals so they can get them more than finger tight. Hopefully they pull that sticker off before selling ..it's embarrassing to have to label the front of any bike except maybe a swingbike.

    Best Trailer you have actually hauled or seen hauled by a bike

    Thanks @ChimeraCycle. I guess I need to do some more engineering, or stick with a single wheel trailer. I've been looking online at trailer hitches and there are some pretty good ones out there...The best I have seen is also the simplest, basically a pintle hitch (ring and hook or post) but it...

    Hyper-Formance StingRay repaint kits

    Great info, Crash! Lots of places don't have friendly body shops with rentable booths any more. If that is your case, don't be afraid to shoot on a wind free adequately warm day outside. Plan how to hang your parts so you won't have to touch them until they are dry. If you use a system where...

    Need help design guys

    I'm not so sure the top tube is bent to straight...with the tank hiding it it could very well be in the original configuration. I agree something up there is bent to allow the rear triangle to tilt upwards.. It might just be close to the seat post.. Head tube angle looks greater than stock, but...

    There are plastic pedals that look like those red ones....Frame but not the sprocket sprocket look much like my Pacific Schwinn Windwood. Can't help you on the LL Bean Bike - It is a rebadged something or other, maybe a Murray?? The sprocket compares to this older Murray:

    Walmart cruiser converted to CB from 5 Speed.. Chain adjustment???

    http://www.modernbike.com/dimension-chain-tensioner-black-chainstay-mount I wonder if this would work....does anybody out there use one? I think I could make one but maybe buying would be the smart thing in this case. There are a ton of stripped derailleur type tensioners on the site as well...

    Repop Schwinn Straight bar frames???

    I wonder how they can use the Schwinn name? Checking their other items you'll see the complete bike for $399 and a repop monarch springer fork. They also sell the chainguard pictured. Here's the real thing in steel...
