Huffy Cranbrook

[Tcams]

I want to know the measurements of the front tube and the seat tube but I have no way to accurately measure them. If someone has a cranbrook and knows the accurate measurement can you please let me know.

Thanks

Seat Tube: 1 1/8 inches (29mm)
Down Tube: 1 1/2 inches (39mm)

I wish I would have done the same (taken it slow) but it all worked out in the end.
And Im sure after your done there will be a few things you will have to work on to get it just right. Unless you upgrade those crappy parts that come with the kit before you fire her up.
Good luck!!
Happy Turkey Day

I thought there was a rear mount as well but I couldnt find it.

If not Jims mount is my next Purcuace!

He is one of the forums sponsors-Manic Mechanic

ENGINE MOUNT

Check out his sprocket adapter, if i would have know about that before i installed my sprocket I would've gotten it.

well i could make that mount with stuff in my garage. all i would need is the clamp from autozone.


Tcams_Zonie: do you have a link to the one from jim? i'm gonna search the forum right now, but figured i'd ask before searching.

Here's the link to his motor mount.I highly recommend purchasing from Jim he's a good man.

awesome looking parts, but a little too expensive for me.
not saying they are priced too high, just saying i don't have the money to spend on that.

that mount is a great idea, i might build something similar. damn now i don't know what mount i'm gonna make.

This is what I made. Used a steel plate and a 2" U-bolt.

I want to put front suspension forks on my cranbrook because the roads out here are very rough on me and my bike.

I dont want a springer fork because I herd they dont do much. I want somewhere around 4inches or more. I have no idea where to even look.

I was thinking about taking them from a mountain bike or something like that but how will I know they will fit my cranbrook snug?? Is their a correct measurement that I need to get??

City of angles has a huffy cranbrook and has a springer fork. Im not too sure what he did but I looks pretty sweet.

There are some common sizes, 1 1/8", 1" and your high grade mtn bikes are way bigger, i measured the outside diameter and mine was an inch and an eigth so i was able to fit a threadless set of a Giant forks and a beafy neck that one of my buddys let me have when we did a side job for him, my suggestion is to take off your neck and measure the outside diameter of the fork stem, then you know exactly what size you will need, Than hit up some local bike shops that resale used items and eventually you will come across a good set!!!

Tcams,

Don't forget about Bicas, they have a huge rack full of suspension forks and regular forks. I think the Cranbrook is 1" but not positive. Next time I have it apart I will be sure to measure it for you.

 

[Tcams]

I forgot about them..Im gonna stop by there tomorrow..Ill post my findings.

 

[wes]

I think you have a one inch stem, i was checking yours out on the ride when we were talking about it, Bicas is a good place, i also found a set of forks at that five points bikes on 702 S Stone Av, Tucson, AZ, 85701 .

Just got my Cranbrook on the road, here's a pic.

I used the stock rear mount, ground out the sides a bit with the Dremel and it worked fine. Used the steel plate and u-bolt combo on the front. Runs good and is solid with no shakes.

I had trouble with the drive chain and sprocket lineup though. Had to work out my own version of sprocket mount on coaster brake hub.
