Yeah that's what I intended to do but I ran out of time since I use the bike daily to get to work . Thanks for all the great info folks!
My new build! 29er unique look I think.
- Thread starter QuietRiot522
- Start date
if its the 48 spoke wheel you can always just skip every third bolt using 6 of the 9 alot of people do it with the 29in do it including me.
Will those brakes work on the rear too? If idrill the frame to allow the bolt to go all the way through will the arms reach the rim? Sorry to resurect my own thread.
Yes that's exactly what I did on mine just make sure the bolt is long enough to reach all the way and make sure you get a strait hole.
Update:
Hello all! I just wanted to update what Ive been doing to my cruiser.
I dont like the kit peanut tank and it doesn't mount up very well anyway,
So I went ahead and made some custom mounts for an old chaparral moto tank I had laying around using some coolant tubing and clamps:
heres the tank and the mount
underside:
here you can see how the front mount holds the tank
the mount itself, simple but effective:
