Default Yo From Central California

Just finished my Dax 80cc, without a problem. I did replace intake studs (Ace Hardware had them) and got a front engine mount from Sick Bike parts. After reading all the things that can go south I didn't expect it to start, but to my surprise it started right up. Not much vibration. My only concern on my 7 speed Kent Beach Cruiser is the brakes suck. Is there better or softer brakes pads that can be used?

Hi guys Im from N Florida and just got my zoom 80 cc slant head engine on my wally cranbrook with all fenders removed and wow is it fast 30 mph. i weigh 265. Now for the chain rub on the back tire. Will shim it out or buy 190's. Where would be a good place to buy washers big enough to fit over dust caps on wheel bearing to shim the 44 sprocket out. I love the pickup no pedaling except for the start even up hill. I have a total of 134$ in my 1st setup. Oh took me 6 hours for the first. but the rest cake walk. Lovin It!!!!!!!
