That worked well,Going to give it a try for sure.

I have had great luck with the Schwalbe Marathon plus tires. Very tough,you can feel the heft when you go to mount them.Very thick tough rubber,they roll with ease too.

That is a nice paint job you did. Is the lacquer the silver/chrome on the chainstays ?

Those Treks were also used for touring,which could explain the narrow rims. You can get 26" tires for them down to 1.125" maybe narrower. Those tires are in the 90- 100 PSI range,hence the Presta valve.

They are the correct rims,many of the better MTB 26" rims will have presta valves. Depending on the rim you should have no problem drilling them. Can you post a pic of the valve hole ?

Wow,now that is a blast from the past . Great memories. We tried to make our own,store bought is much cooler.

Very cool,that is a nice feat of engineering.

Not bad at all,looking good.

Wow,glad I came upon this thread,coolest one ever ! Thanks for taking the time to do it for him and for sharing it.

That is a beauty. Just right,not overdone .

Very cool idea,going to borrow the concept.

I use Dawn and Simple Green by themselves,never thought of mixing them. Do you use full strength Simple Green,or is it diluted ?

Same here,I really like Nevr-Dull .

I like the skinny tire idea,looks pretty cool to me.
