The Bike Shop / converting bike with gears to single speed?

« on: July 26, 2019, 09:05:36 AM »

Does anyone have any experience doing this? I got some free bikes, but the rear shifter doesn't work properly on either bike. Could I just remove all shifters/derailers and shorten the chain, or is getting a new rear wheel absolutely mandatory for safety reasons? These are wal-mart grade bikes that will only see leisurely neighborhood cruises, nothing long distance. (less than 5 miles a day). One bike would have a little trailer my kids could sit in.

do the arms move freely when you take the brake cable off? you might have to take off the brakes and lightly sand/clean/grease up the mounts. make sure you clean the inside of the brake arms too.

Bike Gallery / scored a free bike

« on: March 11, 2019, 10:43:44 AM »

So I got this bike for free, slowly going to fix it up with spare parts. Trying my best to keep it as cheap as possible lol.

DK Opsis complete with shadow sprocket and chain. St Martin bars. Odyssey black widow cranks. Eastern pedals, revenge front wheel, khe coaster to old hazard rim and bald primo and tioga tires.
 


Changed the tires, bike is really colorful now. I replaced the st Martin bars with these Merritt bars but will get some smaller 2pc bars soon. Gyro and front brakes coming soon. I took the front brake that was originally on this bike and put it on my main bike. It's a suelo front brake, best front brakes ever!

I know a few guys that run it (flatland) that really like it. Another friend bought the profile zcoaster and swears it’s the best coaster he’s ever had
