Buddy …. I’ve worked with Bikes for 50 years .., A new chain on old sprockets will skip especially on the high gears ..smaller rear ones .., Never mind messing around with set screws and bearings …. Replace the rear sprockets. …. Then test ride it….

Probably a worn Cassette/ freewheel .. New chain on old sprockets will tend to skip especially on higher gears ….

I love the look of your ride. I remember one similar by CCM from the 60s know as a Checkered Charger. It came in a single speed Black and White or 3 speed Red and white look.. Great job on getting your built done !!

Good job Man !! As a former Specialized dealer I can tell you that if any Bike is worth a refurbishment like that it’s a Stumpjumper !!! You will love the ride of the Prestige tubing …. It has a higher Nickel content than regular Cromoly making it stiffer and lighter giving it a much more...

Could be a. Capri Could be a Caprice or Galaxie. Those were from that era… One source to ask would be Caps Bicycle museum in NewWestminster BC Canada. They were one of Canadas largest CCM dealers during that period. Good luck 🤞 Peter

If anyone is looking for old CCM Bikes. Check Craigslist Comox valley and Vancouver BC Canada 🇨🇦 … Several on there as of November 11 /21 including a High riser 5 speed .. a Tandem and various others Pete

Ya know something .. I actually like the frame style on that Bike and the fact that it’s a 27.5. Is a bonus .., If they sold them in Canada I’d buy one .. As I mentioned in a previous post I built Big box bikes for a living .,, And even the $129 Mt Bikes can be adjusted to absolutely Sing...

By. Lockdown. I mean just locking the upper nut and lower cone together .., Thats where the two wrenches come in As you turn the top wrench down turn the lower one up. This will bind them together so they don’t wiggle loose

For the Headset lock down…. Try using 2 channel lock pliers and turn them in opposite directions. That should lock it down …. It’s what I have used for years and I actually have the proper wrench .. it’s just quick and locks them better because they really bite on each other better !! Pete

Singleton what you might want to do is just have someone who knows how to setup a rear changer look at it.. Its actually quite a simple procedure to setup …. Especially on the more basic types of Bikes . Watch whom ever is working on it for you and you’ll get it .. If there is actually...

Hey there !! i like the look of your Bike !! It looks like my old Maruishi cruiser that is currently missing and I’m still trying to find .., That’s another story .. I built Big box Bikes for a living in Canada 🇨🇦 for Canadian Tire stores .. There’s nothing wrong with the quality of the...

Hi there Rachel My name is Peter Murphy …. I’m actually the original owner of the Bike . i had loaned it to my Brother and by accident it ended up in a garage sale .. i recognize it by the Barbados sticker on the frame and the Red Suntour hubs I had laced in .. I actually have pictures of...

One of my earliest memories in my life at about 5 yrs old my Brother Jimmy showed me how to patch a tube … I also recall my Dad fixing some old single speeds… painting them and my older Brothers and Sisters using them .. From there I started to tinker with them on my own ..Next I was buying and...
