Klunker build. Finished pg3!

[BartRidesEternal]

I use street 2.125 whitewalls on one of my klunkers and I really can’t tell any difference that knobbies make. If it’s wet, well that’s different. With a crude single speed and a heavy bike you’re not going anyplace where you would need real expensive tires. Real nice klunker you built.View attachment 284106

That looks great, beautiful bike thanks for sharing.
I tried the current knobbies on wet soil, but I would like to have more grip than my current Berm Masters, that is why I decided on the Schwalbe Magic Mary's. I can sell these tires, they are nearly new.

New word for me. Google search had all the answers for me!

Ah! A new Rabbit hole to check out


I settled on the paint. I put a sticker and a high gloss clear coat on it and this looks good. The sticker is not in line with the (colour) theme of the bike, but I kinda like that.

Sweet!

Tires came in. I might finish the bike tomorrow.

First comparison looks promising!

KNOBS!

The bike is finished!
I am very happy how this turned out!
the bike is basically new, since the base only saw ten kilometers or so.

I assembled chain tensioners, large washers for the coasterbrake arm and the new tires!

This is how it looked before:

And this is now:

26x2.35. Tight fit!
