If this is a possible build, what size sprocket would you need? I built a 29" genesis with a 44 and it ran well. I would build this as a cruiser, not for speed.

I rode one of those in the store and was srprised how easy it pedaled with what seemed a small back sprocket , maybe the height allowed longer pedals giving it leverage?
it's BIG! but very cool

oh.......and theyre $149 here

Very interesting, those seem like huge wheels

runnermike · Jan 11, 2013

Think I'm gonna pull the trigger and get one!

Are 32" tires and tubes available anywhere?

runnermike · Jan 11, 2013

I'm researching that now....

I saw that bike the other day in Walmart, and almost fell on the floor. My wife looked at me and said, "I know you're going to get it, so just go ahead".
I didn't get it, though. I wanted to see one done up, first. So, I'll be watching your post!!!

Personally I wouldn't use this bike for a mb, because of the wheels. If they wear out, and they will, how are you gong to get new ones. You can't buy parts from Kent Bicycles.

i wouldnt get it because you cant get tires or tubes for it. and the unseald hubs are garbage on these. if you want a large cruiser type bike. check into a cruiser with 700c/29'' wheels that way you can find tires and tubes

runnermike · Jan 13, 2013

I have a 29er

shwnrttr · Jan 13, 2013

if you do pick one up. check out tubes and tires for unicycles. i think they use 32''

racie35 · Jan 20, 2013

why couldnt someone just by spare parts to the genisis?

I'm waiting for a Walmart Fat bike like the Pugsly. I heard a rumor Mongoose was coming with an affordable fat but I haven't seen one yet...
