Presumably, these "2 bikes im fixing" are the Sportsman and...?
My utility bike... its not pretty but it works.. its a rigid MTB, I wanted something nice like the sportsman but didnt find anything big.
OK so I threw on 26" wheel and it works pretty well. The braking is quite nice... and i didnt even align the brakes that well. I think I'll just plow ahead with this... I do plan to change to drums someday... I really like drums.
And the filing went well, everything is peachy.
