sting-ray and sting ray Jr.?

[el_espanto]

hi, i need helpi redcently got some sting rays, my 1st and dont know really what the difference is between the regular, and Jr sting-rays.
my 1st issue i have is that an s7 rear rim doesnt fit, why? seems the rear drop outs width of Jrs are narrower by like 1/2 an inch.

so what kinda rims fits in there?

thanks

i dont think there is a difference like that between the two sounds like for whatever reason your frame got pushed together a bit. as for the main difference is right behind the seat post a jr is way shorter than a standard ray.

hey thanks karfer, so thers no difference normall as far as width then???? if thats right then its kool cuz i want to use a nicer looking frame to biuld my bike wich is a jr. the regular ray is much more beat up. so how could i open it up more w/o damaging?

the junior takes an s-7 (middleweight) wheel front and rear

the stingray takes an s-2 (balloon) rear and a s-7 (middleweight) front

basically the junior is the same as a 20" typhoon i believe.

on the junior
just pull with your hands until your wheel slides in the dropouts, the biggest hang up is a wide balloon fender wont fit without having to work on the fender so it doesnt rub the tire. and anything bigger than a 36t sprocket might be tight on clearance. shorty's are the best for wheelies though :mrgreen:

i havent been able to find an exact match to coppertone, its a candy color, its actually more of a yellow candy sprayed over a silver base. for small touch ups theres a metal flake "testors" color that is close, but still doesnt look exactly the same out in the sunlight, but its a close match for a 10 footer. otherwise pete at hyper-formance sells the closest thing if your comfortable with auto paint. auto paint costs are too high for me to come up with a good match on my own :roll:
