    Another wear your helmets kids thread.

    In my younger days on my road bike I never wore a helmet . But as I got older I became convinced that I should. I stay away from roads now. One day I was at a bike trail parking lot after unloading my bike . I was wearing my helmet. I hear a car going by behind me stop, the driver getting out...

    Picture Frame From Bicycle Parts

    I would like to frame an 8x10 photo of my bike. The only bicycle part that comes to mind would be the chain. I am thinking of using an off the shelf wood frame. I could run the chain around the perimeter and attach it by using my chain tool to remove the roller pins at the corners. I could then...

    Grease

    Good topic,thanks. When I first learned how to pack car wheel bearings back in the 60's working in a gas station and only saw drum brakes, the tub specifically said wheel bearing grease. So I now use Castrol "wheel bearing grease" NLGI#2 Lithium complex grease. I find that it migrates less and...

    Depends on what you need for your chainline. I have found Sturmey-Archer cogs to have the Bendix fit too. Here is an offset 20t https://www.amazon.com/Sturmey-Archer-5-Speed-Dished-HSL200-0001-0P/dp/B07FMF6SDC

    Tires for commuter

    The only one on the list that I have is the Panaracer RibMo 26 x 2.0 on a 3 speed cruiser. They roll so easy it's as if the wind is always on your back. Tire casing shape gives narrower contact area backed up by a full width sidewall for cushion. With its puncture protection it would be my...

    Bionx motor question.

    The "Bionix System" was proprietary . A Bionix battery and Bionix console have be used with their motor. All 3 have to have compatible programing. The controller is in the motor. It would have to be removed, and the motor rewired , to work with a generic controller.

    Purchasing triple tree forks

    There are several versions of the fork in the first post, quality wise. A fellow builder bought the best . He said that in order for the rockers to pivot freely , there was too much play ( slop ) in the front end. So he kept the rockers so tight that there was no spring action .

    Shimano CB e110 question..

    Axle ( #21 ) looks to have bad threads in the areas of brake cone ( # 7 ) and bearing cone ( #19 ) https://sheldonbrown.com/sutherland/CB-IGH-2-shimano.pdf . May need all 3 ? Also roll the axle on a flat surface to see if it is bent .
