newbie

Hey guys! I have been lurking around these forums for a couple months just trying to learn what I can from random posts. Some threads have info I need when it comes to a specific, specialized, task. When it comes to absolute basic information, it is either buried in a comment on an unrelated...

I recently bought these wheels and someone on here told me I should go for disc brakes instead of rims brakes. I have a standard cruiser set up with this engine on it. Any advice from y'all would be great. Mainly trying to see what I'll need to buy to assemble it (i.e. the disc brake set, any...

Hi y'all, new to the forum thing in general, I've got a 2 stroke grubee Skyhawk that I rebuild mostly with a Chinese clone. The clone I ran for about 30 miles but decided it would be better for parts considering the head and cylinder were one piece (ofc the seller online didn't show that). And...

Hi everyone, This is my first time building a motorized bike and I used a huffy cranbrook as my bike. I'm documenting my progress on youtube. I'm basically making these videos so people looking into building a motorized bike don't make the same stupid mistakes I did! Update 1: Just...

I've been putting together this bike and I haven't really had any big issues that I couldn't figure out myself or find the solution to online. Until I had to attach the ignition coil to the spark plug. I've seen videos of people doing it and it just seems to pop right in. Am I doing something...

Hello everyone! I'm new to the site and getting ready for my first built. Bikebuyers.com has some great looking bikes and I was thinking of ordering my bike from there. My only concern is that the company has some bad reviews on yelp.com and on ripoffreport.com about the quality of the...
