Will a pint of base coat do it or will I need to buy a quart? Ill be painting a frame and fork. Thanks

I picked one of these frames up from Ind-Chuckz last year and finally got around to building it. I didn't go will all high end components. I just picked things I liked for a good price. Everything is new but the frame and saddle. I am not sold on this saddle but it was what I had in the garage...

I want to put together a 26" bmx style cruiser. What length crank arms do I want? 170,175, or 180? Thanks,

I picked up this old Hawthorne last week. The rims were both painted silver with a brush. It looks like it was done many many years ago. I figured rather than strip them down and re-paint, I would try to remove the silver paint and see what was under it. Well, after a few hours of rubbing it...

I picked up some parts yesterday along with these pedals. I have seen them on various bikes ove the years. These do not have any markings at all. Were they just a universal part from back in the day?

This is one of my favorite bikes to ride. I have a set of chrome HD drop centers getting trued up I may throw on it. They would fit the age and look a bit better. :mrgreen:

Can anyone tell me what the length of the spokes is for the Worksman wheels with a front drum brake? I have the steel wheels with .120 spokes. I have a drum I want to lace into it. I see they have all sizes on their site. Thanks,

I was wondering if anyone would have an idea of what the max HP and speed would be for the repop whizzer sheave. I have one I may use on a bike that will be a bit heavier and run about 6 HP. It would be mounted on HD .105 spokes. Thanks,

What are the strongest tires out there? I see Coker makes some for $125+. Are they that much stronger than a bike tire? I know some wang chung tires are real soft. I have a set. BUT are there bike tires out there that are indeed better for added weight and speed? I am planing a motorbike. I...

This was on the north side of Machinac Island. It is one of THE best places to ride a bike. (No cars allowed)

Can I use a 26" tire with the tripple tree forks from a WCC bike? It has the same size wheels front and back.

I am thinking my next build will be blue. I would love to see some different shades of blue with various other colors used for the accessories. Thanks

I want to paint a frame a dark blue or dark red with off white on the head tube and make it look old. What are some of you guys doing to achieve that old look? Thanks,

Im putting together an old Rollfast tandem. I was wondering if I will be happy with a single speed hub or if I should go to multi speed hub. The HD wheels I have are a single speed. I had my eye on a set with a 3spd rear but they are spendy. Thanks,

Ok so I have been searching for a while and only come up with the same canned answers. What are the actual widths of these wheel sizes? AND is there a standard? OR do the acutal widths very? 26x2.125 = 26x1.75 = Thanks,

Heres my take on a board tracker. Its a 50's Higgins Jet Flow I think. I picked this bike up and added a few goodies. I like riding it. It always grabs attention.

This is a 1937 Schwinn I picked up a while back. Im not totaly sure on the exact model. This is the bike that got me hooked. It was just a frame when I started. I pickd up a handful of old parts and ended up with this. These were taken on Mackinac Island. Its the best place on earth to ride old...

Can a 36 hole bendix hub be drilled out for the larger HD spokes? I have an HD S2 up front and would like to make the rear match. Thanks.

Ok so I am putting together a boardtracker and have a few questions on rims,hubs, and wheels. 1) are all 24" rims 28 holes? 2) are all 26" rims 36 holes? 3) If I was going to put a set together will I need to have the correct hub/rim combo in order to find spokes? OR are most spoke sizes...

As you all know we are unable to search for this combo. I was wondering what a 24x3 tire looks like on a 24x2.125 rim??????
