[OUTLAW]

well my youngest daughter got this huffy an said Dad can ya fix it up for me. well what am i suppose to say, so of course i said sure. she said just so i can ride it till ya finnish my schwinn ok. another project, like i need another, YES I DO. lol. so i don't know what year it is, don't really care. it has 26x 1 3/8 tires and a 3 speed with rim brakes. whell the 3 speed don't work, the shifter is broken. so i tear it down. grab a set of wheels that i got from crassley, a single speed w/ coaster brake, picked up two new 26x1.4 city street tires from work an a couple of tubes. took out all the bearings an cleaned em all up. put the wheels in my truing stand an got em set up. scrub the frame an fenders an chainguard an forks down. wow this thing is lookin real good. cleaning up real nice. an no more cables an stuff ya don't need. this will be a clean lookin ride. soooo ya all heres some pic of it before i tore down. should be able to get it on the road tomorrow an will take some finnished pics of it.

ok, finnished the bike. tried to put on the wheel with the coaster but when i pedal the cranks would turn about 3/4 of a turn before catching up, so i took off the wheels and put on my mtb wheels with new 26x1.5 city street tires that i had an had to put on the rim brakes. rode the bike after i put her all back an cleaned her up. rides really well. think my daughter will be happy with it. soooo, here are the finnished bike a riding pics. enjoy

well hope you all enjoyed the pics. thanks for looking. now back to Black Wicked

[Mr. Farrell]

ok cool. bike looks by the way.

 

[Crassly]

Sounds like the grease has hardened in the coaster brake hub from the Hawthorne. Just take it a apart and clean it good, regrease and put it back together.

 

[OUTLAW]

yep, did it, maybe i got too much grease in it. will have to take it apart an see what happened.

looks great. I have one of those too, not as nice though.....

 

[blsm]

You should try making that coaster brake work again. On a completely unrelated subject, I could use those levers... =P

 

[OUTLAW]

i pm you. those wheels that have the coaster will be going on my daughters schwinn when i start the build on it. i just was going to use on the huffy till i built the schwinn. oh i'll figure it out an get it running right. thanks
