The biggest 'difficulty' i can see is, well, I don't want to strip everything off. I like the color and finish that's already on there. I just want to black out the dropouts and the wheel facing sides of the front fork and rear triangle. that two tone approach, in my mind's eye, would add a bit...

My poking at the matter has proven a lot of contradictory information on everything from installation to effectiveness to it even being a scam. Given my perennial limited funds I'd rather fish for information from a group of bashers than just throw money at the situation.

Would prefer non-auction, non-FB/CL listings so I can bookmark for when I have money. Kinda split on if i want something that's intentionally single speed only, or with a freehub. I don't have a metric tape measure and my eyes aren't great at reading the small marks but I'm getting 5 5/8th...

the shimano freewheel on my bike has two stages of central spendle sizing. The segment that currently matches the chainline is the smaller of the segments. Currently looking at splined single speed gears (because longer teeth) and I'm wonderinf if they'll fit the smalelr segment or larger. Gut...

I am sortof at loose ends at the moment. I have a spare seven speed freewheel I'm about to knock the locking ring loose on because, mostly for giggles, lets see if I can make a redneck single speed. Now I'm thinking though. Can sprockets meant for cassets go on a freewheel spindle? See i like...

So adventures in repairland. I go to replace deraliur because i want to put a better low gear on. Chain breaks. I go buy a new master link (because the included one was apaprently of the non-undoable variety.) Old deralliur is bent a bit. 'Huh thta explains things." I get the new deraliur on...

https://www.amazon.com/SHIMANO-Altus-Right-7-Speed-SL-M315-7R/dp/B0833BY837 My current brake levers are shiny aluminum ones. I like how they look. Getting the altus lever both because new left grip is longer, and because I've given the twistie revoshift as honest a go as i can and the constant...

Question that most needs answering: Is that an integrated hanger? Assuming it is: What are my options for upgrading Tourney/Altus? Lastly: I have heard bits on the Altus can be replaced with higher quality parts. Is this realisticly doable, and is it worth it?

I'm pretty sure I could safely force going up a tire size, but what about two sizes? Is there an advantage in doing this, assuming everything works? Looking to make the best use of limited funds and I have been told tires make the most difference.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B099ZMTQQX/?coliid=I1X9MN3ZBKPEL9&colid=3V0Y0TZZE97ZO Six and Seven speed freewheels I've seen. This listing is advertising eight and nine speed freewheels, specifically advertising them AS freewheels and speaking about the mechanical bits a freewheel would have in...

Having seen that a 27.5' wheel that also has rim brake surfaces seems to be a bit ofa unicorn right now. I've decided 'why not look at this from another perspective?' My brother had said 'hey why not just run it without rear brakes?' 'Well that's stupid' was my first thought, which I hadn't...

TL;DR I am dissatisfied with the fact Huffy's 'special edition' parkside isn't special at all. Instead of whining about it, I want to fix that.... but I am of low funds so it's 'piece at a time.' Alrighty then, What I have is a Huffy Parkside that's.... Rim brake mounts, twist shift (it is a...

Bike Model: Huffy Parkside Men's 27.5 SE That was taken with my phone. So apologies for lack in quality. By that point I'd put a new crank on (that fit the existing square taper) and shortly after that photo I'd de-stickered it because 'really my guy? You're going to call this 'special edition'...
