my bonus was better than expected so i bought a spoiler

i just bought a schwinn stingray spoiler online. still cant believe i paid over 500 for a bicycle but ive drooled over that bike for a while. I bought a mount from barry on ebay from suggestions from other posts "love the forum".Both are being shipped as we speak but of course my mind is racing about this build. i have a couple questions for anyone who has built one. i am planing on an 80cc king have had good enough luck with kings kits in the past. My main concern is the rear sprocket. Was hoping somehow to save the rear disk brake or maybe mounting old school rear brakes off the smaller occ bikes and mounting sprocket to the disc mounts any enlihgtenment on this would be greatly appreciated.

you might be able to use the top hat sprocket adapter. why not get a shifter kit and run it through the three speed hub? no derailer plus the fact of being able to free wheel while coasting, soooooo nice.

has anyone used the shift kit on a chopper?

I haven't seen one yet.

The top hat adapter would probably be the best bet. better mounting, plus you get to keep your brake.

sweet just ordered the top hat adapter appreciate the advice guys

Take pics of the build and have fun.

So how is that thing coming along??

Mike,

Good afternoon.

You are sitting in a very fortunate position on this build.

I bought two new spoilers a few weeks ago to build for myself and my girl.

I will be starting the design/build this weekend.

These really are cool bikes!!! They actually ride a lot better than I would have expected.

Forget the top hat adapter for the sprocket...it won't work If you plan on keeping the rear disc brake.

I will be posting photos as I go along with this build...If you see anything you like...let me know and I will give you the cost. You will have a narrow window of time to make a decision on some of the parts since once the CNC is changed from one part to the next the previous will never be done again.

Follow along with my thread, (I will start it next week), and you will have the opportunity to have one of 3 of the coolest spoilers ever built.

Jim

Hey Jim, just curious - why would a part never be done again once the CNC is changed? Just the hassle of changing the bits and putting the program back on or what?

edit - man, those bikes look dang sweet too. Now I'm kinda wishing I had one, lol.

well she is on the road a little more rattle then i would like but i hope when i lean the mix after the break in it will settle down a bit. i went ahead and used the top hat adapter i got the rear disc brake to work after some crafty engineering. i made a bracket the moved the calipers out just enough to clear the sprocket. i mouted the adapter reversed where the sprocket is on the inside and the disc is on the outside. i used a 32 tooth sprocket and it gave me just enough room that the calipers grab maybe 1/2 to 3/4 of the disc. at first it wouldnt work becuase the calipers would pinch at an angle from the open space side of it and not really grab the disc enough to stop the wheel so i put a spacer (wire rap) and now it grabs flush. now it doesnt stop you in your tracks like the front brake does but it does work better then the old school hand brakes on my other builds. im waiting for a sunnier day to take some photos and ill post em. i have ran it around the block a couple of times comin back and tweaking here and there but today im gonna try and get a real ride in on her. thanks again for all the info guys i really apreciate it. ill post some pics soon.
