Re: 50's Schwinn Rat-Rod Boardtracker

Where did you get the rear rim setup with the left side sproket?

 

[RollinLow]

Re: 50's Schwinn Rat-Rod Boardtracker

It is a duel disk front hub with a king's sprocket top hat adapter on one side and a disc rotor on the other side.

If you're looking for a good rear hub, you might check out moped hubs. Internal drum brake, beefier axle, and you can bolt different chain wheels to the left side. They're pretty affordable too...

Re: 50's Schwinn Rat-Rod Boardtracker

Sorry work season leaves little time for hobbies! But these long days sure do help fund them! There will be updates soon.

Website is almost finished. There will be a store with custom sprung and solid front forks as well as drop loops available. As well as head badges. I will post the address when I work out the advertising through the website. Don't want to piss anybody off.!!

Re: 50's Schwinn Rat-Rod Boardtracker

Love your build, it's freaking awesome. Just got my first build running today. Went with a motor kit for my first try.

Re: 50's Schwinn Rat-Rod Boardtracker

What kind of wheels did you use for your build? And does it matter if I use wheels with a coaster brake, for a build with an engine?

Re: 50's Schwinn Rat-Rod Boardtracker

Late night update!!! Finally sourced all my components to start my electrical system. My 20 amp PM alternator will use a rectifier from a john deere 600 series tractor. It will run a 35watt sealed beam headlight and a duel filament taillight/brake light setup. Pictures won't upload but ill try tomorrow... But the battery box is all wired up minus the key and relay for my horn.
