Would these work on this?

Yeah, those should work. Just make sure you keep them tight or you will strip them. My nephew has a pair on his BMX bike. He is 10 and is about half your size yet, he has already striped out one crank arm.

Re: American Flyer 26"-last update 4/26

you can still drop the forks some.......set a nickle on the tire and lower it till it touches(thats all the space you need for tire expansion.......ask karfer about shooting rocks with your tires :wink: )

Re: American Flyer 26"-last update 4/26

Re: American Flyer 26"-last update 4/26

okay...........i just noticed this but your chainring is on the left(thought it was flipped by the camera but noticed the lettering on the tires is the right way) are you working on a left side drive(or just mocking up and put the crank in to look)?

Re: American Flyer 26"-last update 4/26

Is that lettering just painted on the tires? If it is couldn't you just sand it off?
