    Stingrays and 3 speed hubs

    Just a couple of quick questions. I want to convert my KK roadster to a 3 speed. Possibly a 24" fat tire. I've seen many many Stingrays for sale on CL and see that some MAY have 3 speeds. Do they? Can the hub from one be used for my bike? Will it work? They're so .... cheap, I though that...

    My Wheelie Bar

    Very nice. Brings back memories of my 68 Camaro. HA HA. It was painted nearly the exact same color (factory) and I'm getting all teary eyed. Where did you get those "strap" type clamps that are hold your wheelie bar to the sissy bar? It's for something completely un-related but if those...

    How to get chain good and tight

    I took my rear wheel off last night to remove the fender. I put the wheel back on and just could not get the chain "factory" tight. It's a KK Roadster and the chain is of course long. It definately has a slight bit of sag and is not tight when pushing on it and it did before. How do you...

    Crank making noise

    Forgive me for my newbie ignorance of bike parts, but which nut is the chain ring nut? Is it the outside big nut on the left side of the crank? Thanks, Rob

    Crank making noise

    Could this be the case even on a new bike? Poor bearing packing... If so, what grease is recommended? I'm a car guy not a bike guy so greases may be different.

    Crank making noise

    I've had my KK Roaster for a few weeks now and unless I was just giddy about riding it, I'm starting to here the crank "knock" while pedaling under load. At the top of the stroke on the left side it sounds like a popping noise as if someone is lightly tapping the crank with a hammer. Any ideas...

    Fender braces are rubbing

    One simple question. Is there any way to keep my fender braces from rubbing on my KK Roadster when turning. I don't have a pic right now, but while turning the (front only) fender braces rub. As though the fender is "falling" from gravity towards the direction of the turn which causes the...

    What's the normal amount of "slop" on a coaster brake?

    Well if you're getting a 1/4 to 1/2 a turn on the crank then I'm well within the proper expected tolerances. Thanks for the confermation. Rob

    What's the normal amount of "slop" on a coaster brake?

    Just put together my KK Roadster and took it for a little spin. It seems as though there is a lot of pedal travel before the coaster brake engages. Somewhere around 6-8". Is this normal or is there anything that I can check. Thanks, Rob

    Anyone with a Slick Daddy?

    Hello all, I just purchases a KK Roadster and of course like everyone else, I can't leave well enough alone. My wife is already rolling her eyes. I really like the stance of the Slick Daddy and so my first mod will be a TT Fork. The only question that I have ( to those that own a SD ) is...
