Guys.... here's my first bike, and I'm picking up a second tonight or tommorow.......

So here's my other dilema, the rims are bent and I wanna just get some new chrome shiny ones with white walls..... can I just buy another 26" wheel and tire combo and it'll fit? Please let me know and dont make fun, this is my first bike and project!

should fit but whitewalls are usually 2.125" wide so you might have to lose the fenders...or "persuade" them a little :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

 

[tlaing1]

but just a 26" wheel is fine?

 

[Markm]

should be fine. Whats wrong with the crank? I see your looking for one...

 

[tlaing1]

the pedal threading is beat..... gotta find a new one..... does it matter?

 

[Markm]

not really. You can snag one off of a donor bike.

 

[tlaing1]

bc I'm retarded, any crank is ok? lol I think this was a bad idea... lol and its gonna be worse.

 

[Markm]

well, yes as long as its similar...size, length. Its way easier than you think. Just remember, somebody put it together so it has to come apart!!! :mrgreen:
ask as many questions as you need. somebody will have an answer!

I ordered a rim and tire package from a lowrider shop in Cali.... I just like the crazy spoked look....... They have white walls in the 26x175 so I'm geeked! I also ordered a new seat and the grips I really wanted....


My flightliner is green so we can be fraternal x-mas twins.


Also, I thank everyone on the site, they've been great! Lots of answers to my dumb questions...... I'm glad I have some support! lol
