Yup. It's a Dyno thing. I made the same inquiry a few years ago relative to my Dyno Glide 24. A fellow forum member helped me out. I would like to give him credit but can't find the thread. So here's the solution. It's available from Walmart and the supplier is Concord Bikes. Have fun!

How about something with a nautical flair? Then you could rig it with a sail!

Could be a great workout. Folks run with parachutes for that purpose. So, if you live where there are no hills...

The trouble-shooting checklist definitely requires investigating this possible cause. Try screwing the bolts in without the handlebar or top clamps and measure the clearance. If they don't screw in far enough, cut a bit off the ends of the bolts. Of course, you can't go wrong with beer can shims...

Uncle Phil: Interesting question. Unless your riding is pretty extreme, I doubt that you would get smoke out of your hubs. But it would look way cool if you did. The only downside of high-temp paints is that they tend to be more brittle than regular paints. So you need to decide between the risk...

But.... that's what we live for. :happy:

Monsieur Dbubbleguy: Nice! I didn't have a transistor radio but my friend did. He would put it in his front basket and when he hit a bump it would fly out. It didn't last long. He definitely could have used a holder. Have fun!

Professor High: Thanks for posting. Note that the invention was also called a "draisine" in honor of Karl. That name came to be used for railroad handcars, as well. Have fun!

For your consideration: a 1980 Schwinn 24 Varsity Sport 10-speed in cardinal red. I'm swapping the drop bars out for a set of flat bars for my grandson. I think he'll find it fast compared to the single-speeds he's been riding. Funny, it kinda looks like a 26 or 27-inch bike with a giant chainring.

Maybe it's selective memory or false nostalgia but it seems to me that a few years ago there were quite a few bikes on Craigslist for $25 or $50. The impetus was generally the need for more room in the garage. Now almost everyone thinks they have a museum piece or at least a bike that Mike from...

One day I rode my son's Yuba cargo bike with a frame-mounted front platform. I probably would have gotten used to it but, in the short run, it was disconcerting (translation: it made me nuts). Son likes the bike a lot. Grandson is often on the back (note cushion and handgrip).

Saw this Kent on Craigslist for $40. Thought it would look cool with BMX-style handlebars and seat; sort of a monster BMX. But after researching the availability (hardly any) and cost (high) of 32-inch tires, I abandoned the project. Even if the existing tires are good, one would need new tires...

Professor Gowjobs: I didn't know that. Now I'm sorry that I know that because my head may explode. Do they not know the size of their tires? Is it a merchandising ploy? What is the world coming to?

My grandson rides a Sun Retro 24. My wife rides a Dyno Glide 24.

Hhmm. That designation (with a range) may be found on tubes, but a tire is going to be labeled with a single size, either 26 X 1.75 or 26 X 2.125 or something' else. Have fun!

Favorite? It depends on the variables of the trip: Distance Terrain Purpose Weather Mood That's why you need many bikes.

You got it: Persons siren. Really gets their attention.

You can try a shim. Aluminum beer cans are traditional, but soda cans work too. I visited the Parts Department and found a seat post that measures 21.5mm by 10-1/4" (see pics). I'll PM you with details. Have fun!

Not much difference between 21.1 and 20.7 21.1 - 20.7 = 0.4 mm 0.4 mm is about 6 times the diameter of a human hair Maybe 20.7 would work Worth a try

This is bad, but at least one can imagine someone who lacks experience and is under pressure to assemble bikes quickly making these mistakes. I ran into something that is harder to imagine. I obtained a 20" muscle bike and was trying to remove the pedals. They were free of rust but wouldn't...
