    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...

    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

    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...

    Felt Canvas Frame build-Updated-finished with pics

    Wanted to build a cruiser that was "unique" and had the components I wanted so I started with the Felt kit. Had the bike painted by Harald at Toxik Lab Deigns here in Vancouver who loves bikes and is quite well known in the biking community. It cost a little more to build from the frame up but I...

    Help with Triple Crown Fork

    So I've been asking ++ questions about my build using the Felt Canvas Frame kit as my base. I thought I had all the pieces sorted and sourced out (with much help from those here) and my painter who is painting the forks and frame came across some damage to my never used fork in the kit :cry...

    Looking for a front hub ideas

    I have a 2.5" ChoppersUS front rim for my bike which I want to lace, but I am having a hard time finding a hub. I want a "beefier" looking hub as I think it will look better with the fatter rim. I like the look of the hubs that come on the Felt 24" wheels but cannot seem to find anything like...

    Quick answer please...Nexus hub...about to order

    I am about to order a Nexus 8 speed hub and want to know if the Alfine trigger shifter can be used instead of the grip shifter? Have the trigger on my communter bike and like it more than the grip. Both are 8 speed so I can't see why not but would like confirmation. Cheers, Dan

    Quick spoke question

    I have a Felt 24" cruiser rim that has 12G spokes. I want to use a Nexus 8 speed hub but the info says #13 or 14 spoke size on the hub. Can the rim still be used if I went to the smaller 13 or 14 spoke size even though it originally had 12? Sorry for the stupid question but total noob here...

    Starting a build...help with questions please

    I am starting to build my Felt Canvas Cruiser Frame but I have lots of questions. First I'll admitt that I am not personally "buiding" it but my LBS is. I could not find anything I liked out there with the components I wanted and the colour I liked so I thought why not just buy the things you...

    Newb in Vancouver...will have ++++questions.

    Hello from Vancouver, Canada. Been wanting to buy a cruiser for sometime and that time is now. Nothing out here that really gets me going right now. It is either the wrong colour or has wrong components(I want a 3 speed and would like a front disc brake). So I think I have decided that I may...
