I am pretty sure they're about same style as Monark.. some are torpedo, some are tapered.. I went for 'coke bottle' on mine

old thread or not.. all still good to read and reply.. as I am still working on my Monark, this thread still worth coming to..

heck of rocker on the bottom of sole... I would feel funny wearing those without normal arched sole

what crack me up about Bikeman4u, is his youtube video on barefoot pedals... I would say he is alright..

yup, may have to pull the bulb and see... many of those old Farmall has been change over from 6 volts positive to 12 volts negative ground.. I did one of mine that way

what bother me is those tires that are folded or rolled up in a small box.. which are seen in large department store like Wally World... never have used or mounted any of them.. all I heard is that they're a pain to get it to stay on the rim..

or even a piece of nylon tubing..

:21: ya crack me up... I had done it before.. because I was young, didn't have a way or money to get a new tube.. so I pulled a tube out of 26" bike and slap it in my 20" bike, and yup it was folded and taped with lotsa black electrician tape.. worked good in my 20" cheater slick.. no lumpy or...

if the tip are grounded square, corners can snag the tube.. Sure, rounding all corners and edges, and grind the tip to round shape.. but finish on some rims would mar too easy..

awesome :113:

Screw drivers are the worse to use as it can damage rims, tires, and worse yet punctured tubes.. when I were a kid... I used a flattened table spoon.. now days I just use my fingers, just pinch and pull tires off, it is faster than stumbling around looking for something to pry with..

That is a wonderful story Steve. I don't know how i missed it earlier..

Thank guys.. all things are possible

Thank... the seat is vintage Mesinger springer type

as you requested.. take a ball peen hammer and pound the indent out over a anvil ya may have to hold these with pair of pliers as they are small part or if you're all thumbs.. If needed, cut the post stop.. On some makes and models of seats, may have to file the rails a wee bit till it...
