Horses for courses, right? Singlespeeds suffice for most of my riding, but i'm glad to have some bikes with derailers and IGHs, too.

K... good luck.

....ps My best advice? don't make any frame mods til you have a plan down in terms of the drivetrain. Frames can fatigue if you keep trying to coldset them both ways...

They use the crazy wide hubs b/c most of these frames have crazy wide rear spacing, b/c you'll need wider chainline to clear the crazy wide rims/tires. If you want some more specific troubleshooting, tell us all the details about your current rear hub or, better yet, take a picture or 2. You...

what is the spacing of the hub you're running? The Ruf site lists the rear spacing at 135mm; if you bought pre-laced fat wheels, there's a good chance they're quite a bit wider. There's also a chance, depending on the hub, that you can despace the hub, possibly even enough to keep the frame in...

I'll let the fellas know... can i print your flyer out for bulletin-board duty?

Nice article, great pics....the [aint, fenders, and lights look incredible. It's a shame (if hardly a surprise) that there's no pics of anyone riding the "bike," though.

That's just how we do things at RRB...

Careful; I'll take your eye, too, if it ain't got a fancy lock on it....:crazy:

I'd take dude's saddle, post, stem, bars, and brake levers/calipers....

Yeah, the co-op might save you $20, if they have the right tool on-hand.... And, the LBS might save you some headaches, if they have the right tool.... bt beware of unscrupulous bike shops who might booger up your hubs, trying to use some kludge-method instead of the proper tool....

OK, let me try to find just a link to the pic; the image loads for me, although the one you tried to post did not. http://www.bikeforums.net/attachment.php?attachmentid=126281&stc=1&d=1258779269 Try to click on that and see if it shows.

PS is this your freewheel? If so, it's a Normandy or maybe a Maillard and there are no holes for pin spanners for convenient destructive removal. However, the tool you need is the Bicycle Research CT-3; there are some for sale on eBay...

If the freewheel has the two little holes for a pin spanner on it, you should be able to use a pin spanner to spin the faceplate off, at which point you should be able to slide the sprockets, pawls, balls, etc off. If what's left has any flat surface, you might be able to use a crescent wrench...

dang...........

In my experience, most Dutch bikes are more similar to the Brit "Roadster" models than they are to the Brit "Sports" models that a lot of Yanquis refer to as "British Racers." More like the Raleigh DL-1 than the Raleigh sports: Roadster: Sports: Basically, the Roadsters have far slacker...

It doesn't have anything to do with which hubs you're running. Most every freewheel hub unless it's French or the metric side of a BMX flip/flop, or some very old imported bike with an obscure national standard, will be the same: brit-threaded 1 3/8" x 24tpi.... The required tool will come down...

Looks rad... i been toying with the idea of running a decent suspension fork on a SCHD, but i just haven't found the right fork at the right price, and with the move to tapered steerers, it may never happen...

I noticed the 808 ages ago... that's why i called myself bike808 when i reg'd here... ;) BITD, the Big Joker in an 808 deck was B&W. Now, it seems like some of the new decks have colorized the Big Joker, but the Little Joker aka "Guarantee" has always been black and white... Either way, I...
