Success! You hit the nail right on the head with regard to fine tolerance chains vrs. cheap chainrings. Worked like the champ, fell right into place. I learned a good lesson with this one, thanks.

Indeed!

Yeah the ConneX has a lot of good reviews, its really smooth on the Stingray, even with the cheap China components in the rear hub.

That particular new nickel chain (by ConneX) I bought originally for my other Schwinn project (below) which has a vintage 1976 46 tooth chainring and it works perfect. I noticed that the OEM chain that came installed on the new Schwinn (in the 1st post above) is a KMC, so I bought another same...

Interesting, I didn't think you could stretch a chain? I know that when they wear out they get longer because of wear.

I just used a chop saw to trim down my 26" springer steer tube, cut it like butter perfectly square. All I had to do was burnish the edges slightly at an angle with a file and that was very minimal. I should add the tube comes with extra thread, so I didnt have to mess with adding threads...

Hope someone can help. The OEM chain that came on my Schwinn measures out at: Roller width= 1/8" Roller dia= 5/16" Pitch= 1/2" Pin dia= 9/64" Which equates to a #410 (1/2" x 1/8") chain. I wanted to swap it with a nickel plated chain, so I bought a 1/2" x 1/8". However, when I tried to instal...

Just finished up resizing and installing the nickel plated chain and rode it up and down the street a few times. Noting broke or fell off, only the bars needed to be snugged down.

I finally trimmed down the springer stem (1-3/8") and sissy bar (7") last night. I used my buddy's chop-saw in lieu of my trusty grinder. Best decision I've made in a long time. Then all I did was burnish the edges a bit with a file and all went together like Legos. That being said, proper...

Bummer, I'm two hours away out in Onterriable.

There was a time in Johnny's life from about the ages of 13-28 y/o I would of laughed right over that. However, today at 55 I'd politely stop, lift my bike over, say "good day" to the guard rail and be on my merry way.

Yeah, its always something. Not to mention, we are WAY overdo for a big shaker. We've had quite of few little ones, so maybe that's why we haven't had a big one.

All good here, back at cha'!

Hey there. I'm from So-Cal too, specifically the Inland Empire

YES, I do!

Great shot (all your shots actually), great build! On a side note, I've been hooked on Peaky Blinders since inception. Like a truck stop lot lizzard on meth.

Awesome, yeah I was looking at those reflectors too, but they are pretty pricey.

Here's a couple pix of the black one I found: And a Silver one that someone has already swapped the seat and grips on:

There's already a thread on the Rumbler, but I figured I'd start my own since I'm in possession of one now. On the proverbial Fence: Yep, I was on the fence about this, but the deciding factor was that I can't build one for the price of $369.00 shipped. Here in So-cal any decent straight bar...

I actually pulled the trigger on the Silver one. I was hoping it was chrome, but at $369.00 free shipping, I get it. I couldn't build it new for that price. If I like it, I'm going to take it apart and either chrome or powdercoat the frame/forks white or grabber blue and re-lace the hub with a...
