    Genesis Onyx 29er Build!

    Re: Genesis Onyx 29er Tires I would think that there's a cheaper way to space out the rear cog. $30 seems a bit steep. You should look for a cheap used aluminum crankset from a 10 speed. It will replace the crappy (from what I saw at Walmart) cranks it comes with and the way the chainwheel...

    DANA transmission.

    if it seals up tight then gear oil, differential oil, 75w or something like that. if it's not a tight seal then grease

    What does my daughter need to make her cool?

    one more thing - paint is important. this will be a bike that is going to take a beating on busy bike racks. don't go too fancy on the paint. I would never lock Rat Salad up at school. The paint is too fragile. My commuter is chrome, so no paint to chip. if you can find a chrome frame, or...

    What does my daughter need to make her cool?

    it's a ~'59 Hawthorne Hercules, and I believe that Phillips shared the same frame design for the same '59-61 span. Living in Eugene, #1 per capita bike thefts in the country, there are two reasons bikes get stolen. resale value and ease of theft. if you use a good lock like a Kryptonite u-lock...

    >>>Elliminator 20" Muscle bike<<<

    with how much trouble it was, next time I would buck up for the fat Roth flakes. It would probably be cheaper with how many rattle-cans I used!

    Chain Breaker broke

    I've had great luck with this, but the pin needed to be turned down a bit for bike chain. I just used a dremel. http://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-duty ... 66488.html

    What lock do you use?

    6' Kryptonite NY chain. It weighs 20 pounds, but nobody even thinks of messing with it

    Have a look at my bottom (bracket)

    Ive done this twice reusing the original cups and bearings and a square taper axle. I live near a co-op that has a rubbermaid bucket full of axles so finding one the right size was easy, but a bike shop should be able to hook you up, bring in the cottered axle and have them get you a square...
