Heres one in mint condition I got for 5 bucks.IMO about 4 bucks more than they are worth if you are gonna try and ride it. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

Thats the problem with 3 piece cranks. Pain to try and modify in any way. Why people like them is beyond me. If that bike had a one piece I could pick a short one out of my junk and swap it in minutes. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

Ok I will do that. Last time I ordered links there were only enough parts to make about 9 1/2 cause was missing a clip.For the price who cares. I did inform the seller about the shortage. He refuded me .25 cents to Paypal. I thought that was a nice gesture and would buy from him again but he no...

I have had good luck with the few China items I have bought on Ebay. Every freewheel I find is made in China including the Dicta badged ones that work gteat. I am not buying high dollar White or ACS brand for what I need. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

I buy packs of 10 master links for less than 2 bucks on Ebay shipped from China. They work fine and usaully arrive quite fast. No complaints at all. I just bought a pack today for 1.59 shipped. How can they do that so cheap? Now I need a 22t freewheel and can get one for about 6.50 from China...

Not goin off road. This ole trike is alittle heavy so was decideing which gear I wanted so I settled on 36/22. Not doin the 40 but I will hold onto that sprocket and maybe drill it for the drive pin. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

Yeah thats what that sprocket came from. I love free kiddy bikes for parts. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

I checked with Niagra and shipping alone was 20.00 for a 40t sprocket. Can get one on Ebay around 11.00 shipped. I am gonna use a 36. Got plenty of them. Ordering a 22t freewheel tomo. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

That oval hole fits pretty snugly and when you tighten up the bearing nut thing it aint goin nowhere. Drilling a hole for the drive pin is an option tho. Not sure yet if I wanna use it cause I think I am gonna do a 36/22 ratio build. Was thinking about a 40/24 but that requires Ebaying a...

I came across this 40t sprocket and want to use it if I can. Note it does not use a drive pin but is sorta squareish where it fits on the kids crank. Well I placed it on a regular crank and it fit near perfect with virtually no side slop at the hub. Drive pin fits between the "spokes" and...

Done got em off. The drive wheel is secured thru the 5/8 axle with a roll pin so I pulled the entire axle with wheel out. The dead wheel just slides on with a locknut. Like I said this thing is very simple built. Ace hsrdware has the axle beasrings for 1.99 everyday in stock. Sent from my...

No I think the whole bike is original. This thing is awesome. Other than the frame its made from common parts. You could ride it forever with very little maintanince. Right now I am waiting on a 24t freewheel. Gonna replace the rear axle bearings and a couple other things. My goal is to have...

I will do some looking for the 26 fork but its no big priority. The 24 is fine I was just kicking around the idea of a 26. I have some old Murray and Huffy forks but the tube part is about an inch too short. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

That crank is original. I always put long cranks in my trykes that dont have them already. Makes pedalling much nicer. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

I think I may build me a 26 fork/wheel and try it.This tryke has a long headtube about 7 inches so finding a compatable spade fork might be a challenge. I like the idea of a full 26 incher mainly because 24 inch tires are hard to come by. Junk 26 inch free mtn bikes are a dime a dozen so...

A 26 is just a little too tall for these forks using 26x1.75 tires so it would have to swap for clearance. These Astabula/Trailmate trykes already have a pretty good rake so I was wondering the pros and cons of the 26 idea. There has to be a good reason it was factory built with a 24 up front...

I couldnt resist I bought the old Ashtabula trike for 30.00 and am nearing the end of a complete resto. Everything is coming together fine and I will elaborate more with pics when done but I have a question. The bike has factory 26 inch rear wheels and a 24 front. What do you thnk of doing a...

Front brakes only is quite common especially on single speed trikes. Unless your traveling down a mountain they are all you need. I have owned lots of trykes of all brands and never recommend coaster brakes or gears. If I were buying a brand new trike it would have a front calliper brake and...

Thanks 3veryone for your input. Its been a good education. I do have one final question and I am done. Tryke A geared 36/22 with 24 inch wheels Tryke B geared 36/24 with 26 inch wheels. Which one will travel slightly faster using the same crank rpms? Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

Ok heres what I guess I am asking. If 3622 and 4024 are pretty close would the 4022 actually easier b3cause of the very large freewheel? 24t freewheels can be found on Ebay for less than 10 bucks shipped direct from overseas. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk
