DMB: Swapping out with another Sun fork with V-brake bosses and hanging a pair of Torker's wouldn't work?
v brakes work but ware out fast or get loose. look what the racers use. even if you dont race you want to stop like one. right? every time? at the bottom of a hill? hydro's are the way to go but cable's work. thats my 2 cents good luck dennis
the drop outs going strait back are the best because it makes it so you dont need a chain tensioner just break the chain to size and pull the wheel back till its perfect
Because on a pedal bike it isn't as critical to have the chain as tight as on a motor bike. But there may be other reasons why they did it that way too.
I'm working with a 1993 Huffy Good Vibrations that was made in Taiwan, I've had it under the house for years, this is all I can afford to work with for now being poor and on a fixed income....I'll get it together with help of this forum I can get some tips.
another thing is breaks are a preference my preference is the v brakes or drums/disks i dont like coaster brakes personally.
