    1.8 x 280mm spokes

    I've got a wheel from a project bike that is missing 3 spokes and can only find them for sale in a whole box. Does anybody have 3 1.8 x 280mm length spokes they could sell me? Thanks Gene

    bottom bracket spindle length

    i guess i would just need the chain ring to be in the middle of the cassette so that way it maintains the best chain line through the gears. Perhaps i will order the crank first then eyeball it from there

    huffy build no name yet

    Sooo the whole tire change didn't go as planned. The whitewalls i have were off of a mountain bike style 26" rim and the wheels that have the 3 spd are 26 x 1 3/8 (590mm) so it will have to be the black skinnies for now. If any one has any cool suggetsions for tires that would work i'm all ears...

    I like this idea better because i don't know how easy the spring would be to get off. I'm a little confused though. Wouldn't making the lever shorter increase the amount of force needed to compress the spring. I feel i would have to put the spring arms farther away from the wheel in order to...

    Rat Trap adjust
