Chopper & Stretch Cruiser Extra Wide Triple Tree Modification
If anyone can share information on modifying the Stretch Cruiser or Chopper Bicycle triple trees to accommodate the 20", 24" or 26" 100mm rims with the 4.25" tires please share it here.
I've searched the forum for another members post about modifying the triple trees for Stretch Cruiser's & Chopper Bicycles, but can't find the post!
Below are some Schwinn OCC Stingray Chopper's with the triple tree modification's.
If you have any information for others or have other idea's / suggestions, as to how one could do it yourself, that is modifying the triple trees to accommodate the extra wide 4.25" tires, please share it here.
Note, this modification is an alternative to purchasing the more costly custom made cnc machined triple trees, which can cost as much as $300.00 USD !!!! OUCH !!!
C.H.
P.S.Thanks & Credit to Ollb83 & others who have shared their how to information for modifying triple trees.
Here are the Custom Made Extra Wide Forks & Triple Trees which will accommodate all three (3) sizes of wheels in the 100mm rim size and 20", 24", 26" wheel / tire size's.
The above 100mm rims are available from Cycles U.S. Homepage - Cycles U.S. LLC/Choppers U.S. here's the Link, note you'll have to lace the spokes / hub to these rims!

These extra wide forks are from Europe and commonly used on basman bicycles these have a retail price of nearly $300.00 + $50-60 USD for the shipping from Europe. So yes nearly $400.00 dollars, ouch will you custom make yours or buy them ready made?
