Hi guys, I realize this is an old thread but wondered if any of you built up the grudge? Had one for awhile now but have yet to ride it. With the stay at home crap and now all this other crap going on we just have kept our bikes inside. Hope all is well Jim

Strange noise that sounds like a kid with bubble gum card attached to the bike. It's in the rear hub and ONLY happens when you peddle. Net is full of the same but ONLY when you coast. So far I have ended up with a complete set of the wrong colored rims and one front correct rim and now...

Man I worked on that fender screw for about an hour. 5 screw drivers a pair of vice grips and a hammer. Was about to cut the fender off and Gina picks up a screw driver and turned the thing right out. What can you do but smile big giver her a hug and say Thank You!! Front wheel is warped and...

Thanks!

Rear coaster brake on new cranbrook. Never tore into one before. Want to crease the wheel bearings. Is it simple or will I have to deal with internal brake parts? Lol the fun begins. Bottom rear fender screw is so tight I have yet to brake it loose. Ugg. Lol Thanks

Thank You!! Honestly I have no desire for any return on this one other then a desire to bring back one special bike I had and enjoyed it immensely and some healthy transportation. At this time in my life funds are low as we get back on our feet so I have been asking questions so as to measure...

Exactly !! That's what I was looking at in the standard bmx bar and I ran across these and to be truthful, they should be just fine. Here is a link to one of the places I am looking. Although they are shipped from niagra cycle and the shipping time Fram results are not all that great...

Just found these 27.5 W x 9 x1 and in black. No cross bar. Would make things a whole lot easier. Now if I got this right most cruisers have a 1 inch bar which I hope includes the cranbrook. Thanks

Thanks again for the reply. I remember talking with a gentleman who had a couple of blue cranbrooks and had given me the correct stem size for the cranbrook but I can not find it nor is it in my content anymore. So..... If I were to purchase a bmx box what size stem would I need for a new...

Thanks Guys! The problem here with the used bikes is picking it up. No transportation thus getting a cheap in price bike brought to my door is a good start.

In the next week I am going to get a new huffy cranbrook and begin to build a daily rider bmx klunker. Wanting to get some decent Black bmx style bars with about a 7 to 9 inch lift and 27 to 28 inch width. Should I by a goose neck box or just pry open the stock goose neck bracket? Was going...

Huffy Fortress runs a 26X3 tire Their version of a fat tire mountain bike. Now then, If I were to make this (Schwinn Areovane) a free wheel rear hub. Which would be smarter... 1. Buy free wheel hub and have local bike shop rebuild the original rim ? 2. Buy a brand new rim with free wheel hub...

Can any of you Huffy Cranbrook owners tell me how much the bike weighs? Looking to build a daily rider as a bmx cruiser type. Looking at Huffy Cranbrook Schwinn Aerovane And to many others. Seriously thinking going free wheel over coaster. Thanks Jim

Thank You, Sure do enjoy looking through all the awesome information on this site.

Thank You !! It's a great place to be...

Most definitely !! As long as there is no derailleurs then it's all good. Lol

Greetings I am Jim and 58 For me it's several reasons. 1. When I see an old bike, to me it's a blank canvas screaming free me into what I should have been. 2. Old stuff works and was built to last and repair, unlike most of today's bikes. For some reason bikes seem to bring happiness and...

Smart phones lol Schwinn Aerovane Was thinking more Knoby and found lots of 2.75 inch. However if they are getting easier then that's a pluss. Just trying to find an inexpensive decent bike to start with that is lighter then my 45 lb mb and no suspension forks. Looked at a huffy cranbrook...

Wildcat, Thanks for the welcome and yep that would be it. Thought about starting with a schwinn aerowave but it looks like those 3 inch tires might be hard to find. Thanks for the thread. Jim

First of all I wanted to say thank you for allowing me to be a part of the forum. I have found more Real answers in a few days as a visitor then in months as a member in a few other forums. At age 58 I recently got back into biking and so happy I did. Last bike was in my late 20's to 30's and I...
