GT Dyno Kruisers/roadster

BrigmasterA · Oct 1, 2008

So I have a Dyno Roadster stretch cruiser, and for the most part I love it. I've tried a few different seats on it and decided I like the Schwinn Stingray chopper seat that was on it when I got it. My biggest problem with it is if I take it on extended rides, I feel like my knees are gonna do something weird... I was think of puttin a set of cranks from a 24 inch bike on it it. It would give the pedals a smaller circle to travel in, maybe relieve a little stress on my knees... Any thoughts? Here's my bike...

Sometimes I wish it had a different fork on it so I could put different bars on it... but overall I dig it...

try a 5-1/2" crank arm set. it`ll let you pedal in a tighter circle. i`ve got a roadster with the stock 6-1/2", but on my firebike support frame,had to go to a 5-1/2" set , because of the longer crank to seat length. hope that helps!

what about longer bars and adjust them to point further toward the rear of the bike. that'd give your legs more room to move. it'd also put ya in a lil more of a recumbent position which is veeery comfy imo. keep in mind also that those werent necessarily built for comfort or practicality.

I know they weren't built for comfort or practicality, but I think I can make it a little more practicle. As far as barrs go, I don't have a set that will go in the spot on this fork. it has the 2 motorcycle-style clamps, and requires 7/8 bars all the way through. so for now I'm stuck with what I got. But I'll be looking for other bars or possibly running a different fork... I'm waiting for some springer parts to repair the oem springer that was on it. We'll see...
