    How did you come up with your AVATAR ? And Screen Name ?

    Years ago I wanted a single global name, so it was J.Rhapsody, and I wanted a first name, and Jax just came to me. I've used several avatars over the years, but somebody I knew made a neme of me with some iphone app, so I saved it, and started using it everywhere it'd fit, few years back.

    SHOW US YOUR KLUNKERZ

    I wasn't aware that those tires had been around so long. I usually avoid/throw away those tires commonly found on walmart mtbs, that's why I was curious.

    Tires? Who do we like to replace OEM tires?

    Anything I can get at a lbs, that isn't generic cruiser tires. Last ratrod had Kenda Kwest. My LaJolla has these red Chin Shen tires on them. My Cranbrook has two different tires and wheel sizes, don't remember what they are, but the treads are almost exactly the same.

    Need 26 x 2.125 larger/taller Street/Cruiser replacement tire suggestion?

    The formating really got screwed up on that post,Im trying to say that if you had newer generic rims,or just newer in general,they're narrower and have a bead flange,thus you can run a higher pressure,and that combo will make the tire taller,and it MAY be narrower as a result,that depends on the...

    Need 26 x 2.125 larger/taller Street/Cruiser replacement tire suggestion?

    It's not the hieght, it's the diameter. A 26" tire... or 559mm, is around two feet tall. It's the inner diameter that measures 26", so that would be the bead. The outer diameter can be any size. I have two different size Kenda Kwest from my old ratrod, and the wider one is taller, the wider a...

    Finally found a BIG cruiser!

    I'm 6'4 and don't have that many problems finding, or making a bike fit.

    were do you drawl the line? how many bikes are 1 to many?

    I've got too many in my apartment. The amount wasn't an issue when they could be chained up outside, until people started stealing them. Inside, however... some gotta go. I'd like to get down to my one bmx bike, whichever is going to be my tow rig, two cruisers, one(hopefully)mtb, three...

    Pedal Draggers. Like'em, Hate'em, could care less...

    I couldn't imagine climbing hills with that regardless of gearing. Nothing more than gentle slopes. It is nice, though, diggers are the best looking choppers.

    Saw my stolen bike yesterday!

    Had a few stolen. Years ago we would go ear at kitchens and I had a front mount child seat on mine that has the top tube setup with the seatpost and headtube clamps. Out of all the bikes, somebody stole my seat. There was only three other kids there besides my son. I was pissed. I found the bike...

    Tumbles you've taken on a bicycle?

    Few days ago I rolled up to the skate park on my High Sierra, didn't see the parking block that the boarders were using to jump over... and well fell over it. Ended up with a tiny scrap on my right pinky and finger next to it about the size of a shift cable ferule face. and one on my shin the...

    RIP Charlie Watts

    We're losing music artist left and right. Three rappers died recently, and now another rocker.

    Anybody else have a motorcycle?

    Never had one, but want one, if I gotta build one- which I have a few ideas for. Closest I had was a 150 scooter, and that was pretty fun, and I could wring it out here and there. I currently have an '80 Garelli SSXL that I want to get running, but I know I need more than the 50cc. I have two...

    I'm not the only one who at least wants those 39" wheels for a project, for sure.

    advice on 20" trike tires?

    I wouldn't put knobbies on it, unless that was the look, or there was a need, most convenient. They'll work.
