Two of my Air Ride Bicycles

[PHXKSTM]

a while back i was working at streetbeat messing with airride parts for cars and in extra time fabbed up a few air ride kits for bikes

cost about 40$ each depending on what cylinder i found, streetbeat had a box of dead apc fire extusighers 12$ each

This one was a parts build i wanted to try a custom paint job, and a different frame then normal, air ride did not do much for the lowering but it was fun riding it

only video i did of the air ride

Humm.. my uncle drives a semi, guess ive gotta hit him up.

are you just useing the fire extinguisher as the "solenoid"

the fire tank jus holds air you have to add a manual switch and cut into the line if you want fast action while riding

If you blocked off the bottom bracket and
head tube (internally), you could pressurize your
frame and lose the bottle.

4X4 guys do it with their roll bars.
I've seen a few bagged rods do it with their frames.
I wouldn't wanna seal an entire car frame air tight, but
you get the idea?

Cool rides Man, keep it up.
