    3 speed hub question

    I picked up an old Worksman trike with a 3 speed coaster brake hub. Theres no cable on it and harder to pedal so I assume without a cable its automatically in 3rd gear. Is there a way to manually shift into second gear and lock there? Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Think my Worksman is bad luck.

    After buying my used porto tryke 2 weeks ago this has happened. First "longer ride" the brakes dont hold so I hit a ditch slightly bending the rear axle on right side. Rideable but wheel was alittle out of line. Cant remove frozen freewheel hub to remove and straighten axle. Destroy freewheel...

    Dicta single speed freewheel

    Anyone have good experience with Dicta freewheels? I broke my fw on my Porto tryke and ordered a Dicta replacement on Ebay. Seems like all fws are China made unless you spend big bucks on a White that are 75.00 or more. I ran my tryke in a ditch flying down a hill bent the axle slightly throw...

    Worksman Disappointment.

    Picked up my 4th Worksman Trifecta (porto trike) the other day. I love these things. Well this one had the drum/calliper front wheel and the bearings were noisy. Pulled the wheel and bearing balls went everywhere.Called Worksman who said they are not replaceable and you must buy entire wheel...

    So was just playing around making a "mock up" wheel to see how it would look and ran across this. Had a junk old AMF Roadmaster 10 speed in the junk with 26 x 1 3/8" rotten tires. I took a wheel off and go to mount a 26 x 195 mtn bike tire and quickly notice the old road bike wheel is larger...

    Peugeot ideas??

    I got this for free last night. Could the cassette be removed and swapped for a single speed freewheel or a coaster brake rim installed? Love the twin bar frame. All the gears cables etc are crap. Sent from my GT-P5113 using Tapatalk

    Buying a "Schwinn" tire

    I have a NOS Schwinn coaster brake rim stamped 26 x 1 3/4 S7. Is this the only tire size this rim will accept? I see several Kendas on Ebay. Does the s7 mean anything? What I am doing is using this rear rim on a beach bike that carries 26 x 2.125s. But thats not an issue if both tires are...

    Buying a rear cog for a coaster brake hub.
