    Help finding Felt Rear Rack

    Hey everybody, I am looking for a felt rack like on the Felt Red Wolfe Bike. I think there was a military themed bike by Felt several years ago that had the same rack. I like the style and the thicker frame to it. ANY ideas on where I might get one? Or if anyone is selling one? Any info...

    Minor changes to my Felt

    While I love the look of the 24" wheels they where not very efficient while riding so I switched to a 26" setup and added a set of Apehangers. Never thought I was an apehanger type of guy but I love how comfortable the bike is now. The combination of the fast/smooth rolling wheels and the bars...

    What size ape hangers?

    Ideally they should be just below shoulder level. If they are too high then your hands can become numb as blood has a hard time reaching your hands. Don't ask me how I know. Mine are 13.5" and they are perfect for me.

    MY RRB FELT CRUISER

    Which model Sunlite handlebar is that? Thinking about switching mine up and the picture of you riding looks very upright/comfortable. Cheers, Dan

    Help with a Brooks B190

    Went to my LBS and mechanic said the same thing. He said a good quality one will not slip so that is the route I am going to take. Also going to put some lubricant on the underparts of the seat to see if that helps with the noise.

    Help with a Brooks B190

    Thanks for the replies. I think I might try this adapter and get rid of the original 2 bolt clamp which does not seem to be working for me anyways. https://www.wallbike.com/saddle-accessories/breeze-seat-sandwich Also I will lube & treat my seat and see if that helps with the noisy rubbing...

    Help with a Brooks B190

    So I love my bike but there are a couple things that are driving me crazy with my B190 saddle. First off, it squeeks like CRAZY! It is very annoying! Any ideas to help cut down on the very noisy seat? After further investigation it looks like the noise comes from the leather saddle rubbing...

    Quick question about rim/tire sizing

    That is what I thought. Went down and took the wheel off my wife's cruiser (has 26" wheels) and it fits no problem on mine so question answered. Thanks for the tips. Cheers

    Quick question about rim/tire sizing

    I have my Felt cruiser and have 2.5" x 24" rims with Fatti-o 3" tires. While I love the look the bike does not ride too well and has less than stellar handling so I am looking at switching to 26" wheels. My question is can I fit 26" rims with a 2.25-2.35" tire on the bike, anyone done this...
