    24” speedster camelback tires

    First off to answer your ? the ISO size you are looking for is 547 (largest diameter 24" rim) unfortunately very little variety of that size is available 37mm (1.45in) is the widest available you would need to find 24" s7 rims which have an ISO of 520 47mm (1.85) is the widest that you can...

    Ended up going with a standard coaster brake rear wheel 26 x 1 3/8 (590) whitewall Since the fender is a middleweight I couldn't do a 26 x 2.125 The only other rear I could have tried was a 700 to kick up the rear higher But I didn't have one ready to go with a coaster braje Kept the...

    Been really trying to make this bike a left side drive but It may turn out to not have enough time to do the plan B before the deadline In the meantime I decided on going with the exerciser seat post holder The 90 bend would be problematic if not done straight This gives me some room for error...

    A bit of bad new over the weekend I discovered a Crack in coaster hub right where the extra cog is welded Not sure if it is a old crack or newly developed when I was modifying the cog Rather than take a chance I have decided to go back to a simpler design for Fire woman At least I have a week...

    Erector set style bicycle That might be an interesting idea to manufacture Multi way customizable frames Plus lotsa speed holes Ironically I grew up more with legos i dont think erector sets where much of an 80's kids toy

    More work done on the bb Cut up the remaining part from the bracket to bolt on the bb (prefer to stick to bolt on only if possible) As well as cut out an area in the middle to slide bracket piece into My plan Is to bolt the bracket on to the bb In theory it should clear the crank but if not I...

    Considering using this piece (cut in 2) from the exercise bike to add a bit more bracing Noticed a good spot where the curve of the brace matches up with the fender to somewhat hide the bracing May be able to get rid of the straight bar braces but not sure until I actually see it bolted up

    Slow day at work so I was able to slim down the exhaust connector 1/2 inch on each side Now I can work on bolting it up as the new bb for the frame

    Haven't drilled the new holes to put back the coaster /seat adapter But I did try a mock up with a 24" as well as a 24" tire with 24" fork I think I need to try 20" Or go taller in the rear Not sure if that will work with the fender can try once adapter is back on

    Got more of the brackets drilled and mounted along with the tandem coaster Unfortunately I discovered that I'm about an inch to far back with the main adapter The coaster is hitting the fender Also I was using tire and wheels off another bike I think I need a 24" on the front Here you can...

    Wow I wasn't expecting you to pull out a big n little combo Very nice really works with that flying star frame This may sound a bit crazy but I think a rear rack would look so good on your bike So many horizontal lines but the back seems so plain

    I really like how the beehive springer matches the ribbing on the finned aluminum tank Any chance you have some vintage white rims with a patina that matches the rest of the white I think those would look awesome with that jerald slick
