    spaceliner / flightliner crown race??

    my cups and crown race are shot. Pitted and rusted badly. I got new cups via a wald 4080 headset that fit right it. Sadly the crown race that came with it did not. These goofy forks have no shoulder at all at the bottom of the fork crown....its just 1 inch all the way down. The tube and...

    flightliner / spaceliner girls and boys tanks

    Will a girls tank fit a boys frame? I can visually see the difference. They look the same. Are they the same dimensions? I have a boys flightliner and another frameset that needs a tank. I know a guy that has a farily cheap girls frame with tank and was thinking i could use the tank on my boys...

    schwinn fender bold size??

    What size thread is the bolt on an old schwinn dx......probably late 40s - 50s that threads into the fork crown from the bottom to hold the fork in the center of the fork? I have tried everything i have on hand and have nothing that works. I attempted to hand thread my taps into there and it...

    schwinn 1/2 inch pedal options....

    i had those on my bmx bike growing up. They were great. I might go this route. I was hoping to find something like the MKS Sylvan Touring pedal but in 1/2 inch. Those things look sharp on any old build. I suppose i could just run the stock pedals i have. They have heavy wear but they work. I...

    schwinn 1/2 inch pedal options....

    I have an old typhoon.....i believe it is a 1966. It is far from original. I am almost finished with it and i need pedals. WHat do people prefer for 1/2 inch pedals? Id like something that looks nice, is functional and is serviceable.

    Schwinn Bottom Bracket options / opinions

    i have a bucket of chain bits as well but no 9sp. It is mostly single speed stuff. I dug through it all and no luck. I bet my local coop has a bit just like you mention though. I am going to check it before ordering new. This is going on a cruiser style bike so i am not concerned with it...

    Schwinn Bottom Bracket options / opinions

    ok....sprocket is in and on. I was hoping to use one of my old 9 speed road chains but i am finding it is way too short. This is likely due to the longer stays. Im going to need to join 2 speed chains. New they come in 116 links and that isnt enough. I will probably go with kmcs 9sp. They are...

    Schwinn Bottom Bracket options / opinions

    I am going to try a 9sp since that is what i have a on hand. I might dial it back to 8 if i cant get things to shift correctly. I am going with a friction shifting setup so i dont think i will have an issue.

    Schwinn Bottom Bracket options / opinions

    dang it....i found and opted for a sweetheart repop i found online this morning before i saw this. If that doestn work out i am surely going the adapter route and probably come Sugino cranks i have already.

    Schwinn Bottom Bracket options / opinions

    Nope. I did not know this. I am now looking into finding one of these.

    Schwinn Bottom Bracket options / opinions

    Thanks. That confirms then that the place i got it from had already done the spacing to 135.

    Schwinn Bottom Bracket options / opinions

    Yup...that was my thought too.....washers behind like you mention or new road crank + adapter and then i have man differnt bb options for length and could still do spacers to dial it in if needed. It is the spendier of all the options but not by much. I dont know what the original rear spacing...

    Schwinn Bottom Bracket options / opinions

    I have a late 50s early 60s schwinn typhoon. I want to run a 3/32 chain on it for now to allow for gearing. I have the framset spaced to 135 in the rear and have a claw mount rear mech that appears to line up. The original 46t 4 circle ashtabula sprocket is 1/8 chain only. This is kind of a...

    Space Liner Frame Size. How do i tell if it is a 24 inch wheel size or a 26?

    I am going to try and go look at it this weekend. I have a feeling the guy selling it wont budge from $100 on it. He claims it isnt his and he is selling for a friend.

    Space Liner Frame Size. How do i tell if it is a 24 inch wheel size or a 26?

    Inside of the fender at any point? I guess that would make the most sense. That front fork looks awfully short but i guess maybe it would with this type of springer fork as the wheel mounts down farther and in front. I have always wanted a spaceliner and i dont want a prestine one. Those are...

    Space Liner Frame Size. How do i tell if it is a 24 inch wheel size or a 26?

    looks to be wrong chainguard....wrong fenders...at least the front and the rear is missing the tail light reflector......
