    Hub/Bearing rattle

    I finally got the chance to tear it all down and there was a number of things wrong. 1, it was never assembled correctly, there was way too much play in everything. Two, the rattle was the brake shoes. After things warmed up during a ride, they would rattle and there also wasn't very much...

    Now, I'm not so sure. Took it out for a 2 or 3 mile cruise and I still have some weirdness. I'm going to blow the thing apart and see whats up.....

    Dooh! I flipped her over to check the chain again as you recommended. Seems some moron (Ummm....me :oops: ) Didn't double check the brake arm when he adjusted the chain the first time around. The felt has a provision to bolt the arm to the frame (a brake arm bracket) instead of clamping...

    I checked that first and it seems fine, I'll go double check again. You know how it goes, it will be an obvious head slap when I find it. Thanks :mrgreen:

    I searched around for a while first before asking this so if it has been answered somewhere, sorry. Just point me to the right thread please. Anyway, I have a new Felt Cruiser single speed w/ coaster brake. It rides and peddles fine and also has great braking. It only has about 5 miles on it...

    Felt Bicycle Pics

    Hey I just noticed some differences between some of our Felt Frames. Sorry if I'm a little sloooow, but I noticed some of these frames look like they have a weld seam on the main tank area, others do not. Were the earlier ones two piece? Mine has no weld, so I think it must be the hydro...

    FNG Here!

    Can't go wrong with the dark stuff. I like the micro's too. We have a micro brewery on every corner here in Portland. :) I posted a few of the Beer Bike in the Felt thread and I'll try and get some pics up of the Electra soon.

    Here is my Felt Cruiser "Limited Edition New Belgium Brewery Fat Tire Ale" Bike. It has some fatty Quick Bricks, flat brick red paint and some flippin cool logos and extras. This bike is twice the ride as my Electra Cruiser. In fact, I think I'm ordering a Felt Frame Kit and going from there...

    FNG Here!

    Hello, just getting back into bikes after a few decades away from them. I love this stuff. I used to build custom cars and hot rods (old school stuff, chop tops, frenching lights, etc.) I was a professional painter years back but got out of it for health reasons. I'm a low voltage...
