open up

[spie one]

How can I open the rear for a wider fat wheel. I wanted to do this on a 7 speed Jaguar cruiser. Any ideas out there? Or should I just get a frame and start over? :|

Thanks for the info. If you have any more ideas send them my way. Know that winter is near I'm thinking about stripping this jaguar and really get into it along with the "Top Secret" step through that's just hangging around.

Another approach is to move the wheel back.It is possible to add some plate steel to the rear dropouts to make them longer.

i just cut the "brake brakets" and hammer in a 2/4" gently while making sure both side move equal and then step on the dropouts while the blocks were still there to bring theme closer .. worked fine , just need to do it slowly and make sure everything move equal on both sides
