Mine. F&F from Chuck!

If I remember right, you put as many bearings as possible, less one.

I can remember when I first started building and repairing bikes in my teens, we never used caged bearings. They were always loose bearings set in grease. Does anyone still do this? I can see where the increased surface area of more bearings would take more loading.

I know a couple strippers that could take the chrome off a bumper hitch!!

Danny, PM sent.

Great looking bike, Irideiam!! I can't believe how much the Humu frame looks like the Schwinn Heavy Duti. I'll post up a couple pictures of the HD I'm building.

Shimano CB110E

I'm pretty sure the axles are 3/8 x 26tpi, as they are solid axles. I'm going to pick up a tap and clean up the threads and see how that works. Really sucks, as they are brand new chrome nuts with the swivel washers. Thanks for the chart, Rusty.

Okay, I've tried 3/8 x 24 and 26 pitch washered nuts. The 3/8 x 26 is close, but only thread on a few threads before they feel wrong. I don't see anything in a 10MM x ? available. Anyone?

Not sure yet, running 175 crank arms with size 13 shoe. Have a feeling I'll have to make sure my foot is planted to the rear of the pedals:crazy:

Got this one from Chuck a few months back and finally getting close to being ready for paint. Stretching the Chain and Seat stays. Almost there Stock Fork. The 29x2.25 just clears! Brake Bridge

I'll try and get a pic up this weekend. Thanks.:happy:

Wildcat, I just picked up what looks like a 26" Coastal Cruiser frame. The number on the dropout is 4H468011. Would that make it a '64?

More photos of the mods. Running 29x2.35 Schawlbe Racing Ralph's for mock-up, but that might change.

I bought this frame and fork from ind-chuckz a month or so ago and just wanted to update my progress on my "Worksman 29er". Here's the start of the chain and seat stay mods.

And I thought I had a problem!! Nice collection A.S.!!

Thanks, guys. I didn't think it would hurt, but I heard others comment it would stretch the wheel out of round. I can't imagine that if my svelt 282lbs. didn't do it, hanging a 40-50lb bike would. I hung them from the rear wheel, alternating them with the bars one way then the other. I don't...

To those with too many bikes. (I know there are none of you out there!!) Do any of you hang your bikes from just the rear wheel? I'm getting ready for the end of the season and putting up my seldom used and projects in my backyard shed. Any concerns with hanging them from hooks by only the rear...

Not sure it will be staying black. Depends on how she looks when it arrives.
