    Ratesque Electra Sharkie

    Not really a true "rat rod" but I like it. It's been a while since I moved this thing. We have a 5 month old daughter we're been focused on. . Still want to do a triple tree and a front disk brake. Some day.......

    Radial (spiral) lacing or rear wheel?

    Coming back to this thread after a while. Thanks for the replies. I did that spiral lace on the front of the ladie's bike and it has worked well for the better part of a year now. It looks great and creates a cool look when riding too. Almost like a shimmer. I think for the front of any cruiser...

    Spoke length for 24X4 wheel and Nexus 3 speed?

    Building a Choppers US 24X4 (the double bump one) wheel with a nexus 3 speed. Does anybody know the spoke size I'd use for a 3 cross or a radial lacing?

    Is there any source for the offset cog other than US Choppers?

    Is there any source for the offset cog other than US Choppers? I had one that I bought when I went with 80MM wheels, then gave it to a friend. He apparently can't find, or knows where it is now...... :/ Id prefer not buying another $30 part if I can help it considering these are made for about...

    EX- wife returned bike today

    I gave my wife a ring that I had bought an Ex GF then asked for it back. It sat in a drawer for several years then I just decided SOMEBODY should wear it. I got it out, told here what it was, mentioned that it was diamond and platinum (which I think was the kicker) and she wears it all the time...

    2013 FELT BURNER 29er - GOOFY VIDEO ADDED

    Re: 2013 FELT BURNER 29er Some nice platforms. A real brooks saddle and grips and that bike is bad .... Maybe a 7 speed rear though so you can ride through town a little better if you have hills. I'm going to look into that bike right now...................

    This one.... I want it. Looks to have square tube frame like yours. Is this part of your crew? I'd buy that is a second.

    Shiny Side Up Photos

    Cool man cool!! Lots of older vintage stuff. Is that what is predominately there, or just mainly what you got pictures of? I'd expect a lot of shiny custom bikes too.

    My hope is to get a few 1/2 good looking photos with a real camera in the next few days and post them up here. Cell phone makes them look like elcrapo.

    Some family and build pics.

    We're up to three Electra cruisers now. All three bought brand new at the LBS and modded 100% by myself. Haven't been to the bike shop with any of there. Here's some pics of the bikes stock: Here's my bike mostly stock. I had changed the pedals and that's about it. The wife's Betty is in the...

    Trueing a trike rim

    I'm still not understanding, can you post a picture maybe? There has to be a way to mount the thing in the stand. Just put something in there to replace the axle on the stand. You could still get fairly close with a zip tie on one side of the trike rear if you had to.

    Radial (spiral) lacing or rear wheel?

    Yes. Spiral patern. The spokes are aligned but not in a radial pattern coming directly straight off the hub. My concern with this even on the front is the tortion on the hub itself. There is no crossing pattern on the spokes to balance tortional force. On the front, I'd say its pretty safe on a...

    Trueing a trike rim

    Use the same process right? Why would it be any different. I use the tiewrap method myself with the wheels on the bike. Works great.
