That's a nice looking bike.
|
Found this in a field with no pedals, bars, stem or seat. So I grabbed it painted it and made it work, I'll probably give it my neighbors kid.
EDIT: image is broken, I'll get a better one. EDIT 2: Done. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...1/100_1008.jpg |
Haha. I would have chosen a different color other than that bright orange. I have a bike like that by the side of my shed. It's a wee bit rusted though.
|
Wheels and sprocket came that color. I spray bombed the frame black though, it used to be blue.
|
i like it. no idea why but i do
|
It needs your matching pedals :p.
|
i like it too...but atleast give it breaks before you give it to em
wonder what kind of frame that is |
Has a coaster brake, and the frame is a free spirit.
|
haha they would go pretty good.
|
Is a coaster brake like when you pedal back it brakes?
|
yes.
|
Yes. Like when you pedal back, it like brakes.
|
Knew that.
|
I had that EXACT bike, but obviously complete when I was young. I got it when I was like 4, and I still have it in my shed I think hahaha
|
Take off the coaster brake on it. Then you'll have a homemade free caoster.
|
New trend? 16" wheels?

Eh, not my cup of tea, but I'd still take it. How's your back wheel holding up? I've been thinking about that wheel for a long time.
|
My back wheel is holding up very well.I`m 12 stone in weight.And no problems as yet.
But must admit the reverse thread on the left hand side is a bit annoying.After i took the wheel out a few times to mend punctures i noticed the cone nut on the driver side had started to bind.It was a bit of a struggle to get it lose,on the non drive side is a locknut but on the driver side you dont get one.. I managed to get it lose and pumped a ****load of threadlock on each side before re-setting the cones and since then it`s been as good as gold. The smoked chrome rim looks the bomb but it`s starting to flake round the spokes already. Another good point about the anorexia is it has tripe wide pawls in the driver with 4 pawl engagement,unlike odyssey which has double wide and 4 pawl engagement, subsequently it has a VERY loud click. I`m a bit of a nerd when it comes to servicing my bike,I Check my spokes all the time,although i have a very tiny egg in the rim, but that was due to not running the right PSI In the back tyre and a very heavy landing. If you ride hard street id maybe consider a g/sport or something simillar.If you ride Trails/Ramps and can flow this casette will be perfect,The wheel wieghs in at just over 1300G for my 48H version which is very respectable,and it`s lasted me 8 months with no problems except them damned cones! You can even get an aluminium driver for it,But why you would run one seems pretty pointless to me,yeah sure its lighter but i cant see them lasting to long. My opinion is if you just bang the wheel on,never check the spokes or the cones and never have the driver out for a clean and a lube then realisticly you cant expect it to last for more than 6 months HARD riding. Hope thats some help Fitrider |
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write all of that and supplying such great information. That helps out a lot. I have really been considering the hub, and will most likely get it if I ever do get a new wheel. As for the rim, it sounds pretty nice, but unless I'm on a major budget, I think I would probably just get the Hazard Light because I trust that rim. It does sound like a greet wheel, especially with it being pretty cheap.
