for my chains i've started by soaking in a can of parts cleaner (from auto parts store) usualy over night. then a washing with simple green. then i'll boil the chain in bees wax and pariffin wax. good waterproof protection and dirt won't stick to the chain. also as a plus the chain won't get...

eddie i would tend to agree with them but i've relaced several rims such as primer bike (aka super deluxe) both front and back with over 100 miles on them (i used old rims, old spokes, and even older hubs) huffy muscle back rim (old rim, old spokes, and older hub) my chopper...

the chain ring is a 65 tooth (will not work on a normal bike with out modification) the drive gear is a 14 tooth and has freewheel thread (could be used for a fixie with a lock ring) real nice schwinn one piece crank spedo drive should fit any 20 inch bike and cool speedometer the chain has...

i got some of the parts clear coated last night tank, rack, chain guard, and front fender forgot to snap a pict of the fender but they'll be more pict to come ponytailmike mike

myself i've found the best way to remove paint is to find a sturdy log chain loop it through the frame so it can't be lost then hook the log chain to the back of say an old pickup truck go for a 50 mile sunday drive then stop and check the frame if there is still paint left turn it over and...
