Then click chainrings The sweetheart sprocket is awesome $12.99 with $9.99 shipping, Also they do combine shipping if you add another item.

It is also 44 tooth so if you want to spend a few minutes with a bench grinder you can make it look like an original skip-tooth but accept a standard chain.

Also check out the hub shiners, mud flaps, and torpedo grips! :mrgreen:

Also for tires the cheapest place I have found, a good "Trick Brick"

I'm pretty stin-gee about sharing my sources for sweet dealz these days. On one occasion I gave the dirt and the very next day the guy was sold out and subsequently backordered for months and when the items were available again straight off the shelf the price was significantly higher.
...Learned my lesson

Junkyrustybikes is the place for cruiser tires at the right price though and the product is good, I've gotten 3 sets of tires from him now, very happy.

I have been wanting to caution buyers about some tires that have been making regular appearances on Ebay, but I want to be cautious and not trash this guy all over RRB because the service was good, it's the product that's inferior.
They're blackwall 26 x 2.125 Goodyear tread pattern and the brand is listed as "WD" in the item description. The price is extremely attractive, like, I got them for about $25 shipped, but the downside is the tire material is hard, more like plastic than nice rubber. AND, they're not anywhere near balloon tire width, although listed on the sidewall as 2.125, they're more like 1.75 middleweights, major turnoff.

Conversely, I have found the identical Goodyear tread tires produced by a brand labeled "GT" (presumably Goodyear tread), but also Chinese made, to be a very decent, wide, pliable, and agreeable tire.

Also, 1018kustoms, a RRB member and regular contributor here is offering that RRB member price on the Kenda whitewall 24" or 26" balloon tire package, (2) tires, (2) tubes, and (2) rim strips for $30 shipped.
That's incredibly good IMHO, I'm hoping that deal goes on indefinitely....

Tailwinds: Where are you buying these "GT" brand tires?

Got'em on the Ebay. Why do you ask?
