    36H ACS rear hub NOS or minty

    I hope I did not confuse the last post man, all of those photos are the rear hub you were looking for. I was saying I have a front hub somewhere but will need too look for it and not sure exactly on the location other than I know what building it is in. I cannot promise it as a for sale item...

    36H ACS rear hub NOS or minty

    Hey man, I was certain I sent out a message with photos on the ACS hub, I checked here as well as on the other threas with the rims and it isn't here. It had several photos and ithe info on it. Lets try again. They are 36 hole hubs and have never been any further than sopked on a rim, at least...

    Hawg Wylde, my 1962 Schwinn Typhoon 20" Pig Bike Build Off #17 Class 1 Entry.

    I did get photos of the fork sans orange paint. As much as I love an orange bike, the paint on the chrome fork wasn't working for me. HeIl, I am going to replace all the fasteners on the fork with the chrome Schwinn parts and polish out the fork as best as I can. I am even buying the chrome AS...

    The Hurst levers that will form the main part of the Shifting mechanism. The right lever will operate the internal 4 speed hub I am building. The left lever will operate the totally homemade Hub Gear conversion done with 3 Sturmey archer sprockets, an 1/2" offset 22 tooth, a normal offset 18...

    The Schwinn no one wanted

    Are you gonna run the seat/sissybar combo on the bike? It would be cool for sure. If not would you consider selling them or even the sissybar? Not trying to get them for $10 man. That was a deal!

    Hawg Wylde, my 1962 Schwinn Typhoon 20" Pig Bike Build Off #17 Class 1 Entry.

    Soon I will post photos of my early 1950s style Phantom fork. I have cleaned the remnants of orange paint off of it. Here is a photo of it with the original brake wheel I bought. I am respoking the hub onto a 20"x1-3/8" lightweight rim. Yes I assembled it backwards but it was intentional. It...

    The pedals are even custom, a combination of reproduction Torrington jeweled pedals and the reproduction Wald sunrise end caps. I am making my headlight and taillight from an old Delta Flashlight. I have already dismantled it. The headlamp will be 4-1/2" diameter bulb and I am working on an...

    Hawg Wylde, my 1962 Schwinn Typhoon 20" Pig Bike Build Off #17 Class 1 Entry.

    These are some of the main parts of the bike build. I tried to transfer the pages from the other thread but it is like faxing a fax. The copies degraded by adding a bunch of Click to expand lines and I hate those things. So we can do this the easy way or the hard way. Except the easy way turned...

    Hawg Wylde, my 1962 Schwinn Typhoon 20" Pig Bike Build Off #17 Class 1 Entry.

    I bought a Spaceliner chainguard, the one with the louver slots cut in it. I was going to try it on my wheelie bike and if I liked it I was going to put the Flaming Stack Orange backing on it. Then I thought. Let's pause here a moment and ponder that. I thought. Those words have done everything...

    First progress report on the Schwinn Typhoon 20" Pig Bike project. No name yet but one will come to me, probably in my sleep like most of my ideas do. That is scary, even to me. I have unspoked 2 wheels, my front 20x1.75 drum brake wheel and an ACS hub rear that is 20x1-3/8. I am putting the...

    Since I was having so much trouble with moving my entry into the Build Off #17 I did the next best thing. I am starting a new build thread and moving the important bits to this thread. That allows it to be here with all the other build threads and lets me post my project name. Hawg Wylde.

    1940s BMX?

    I, on the other hand am proud to see these boys out there getting scuffed up and becoming real men, not the mollycoddled, nannied to death doted doper diaper babies that some of that and later generations became. I am 62 years old and will still proudly show any scars I have left from those...

    1940s BMX?

    I would love to see one of these New School guys get on one of these bikes and get that much air! I would also liked to have seen what one of these Old Schoolers could've done with the superlight 6061/T6, Chrome Moly or the new Titanium or Carbon Fiber frames. My money says those Old Boys...

    26" coaster brake wheel set

    I will measure it tomorrow, yes it is 36 hole and in really nice condition. By spacing, do you want the width between spoke flanges or the threaded part included?
