will the 2.125 tire will fit a 2.125 rim or so I need the 1.75 rim? The Huffy website only list tires size not wheel size.Here ya go Bud, Cranbrook Mens Cruiser Bike 26 inch Blue 56389 - Huffy (huffybikes.com)
The Husky 26X2.125 with 11Ga spokes, nice.
Same as spec'd at inb (worksmancycles.com) which is the same rear wheel mounted on my Sportsman Flyer.

I appreciate that & if I build this the way I want too I may have $1k+ in it. With that said the bike you posted is affordable but I would not consider buying a completed MB unless I was gonna add to it. What I’m really saying is I want to build one for the hobby, the experience and eventually the ride.I don't know what your budget is Nightster, a safe well constructed MB ain't cheap.
When I got started what I really wanted was Whizzer which I thought was kinda spendy. Wrong.
If this was available in 2016 I would have saved at least 2K to date.

You want the build challenge or bragging rights? Dan Orabona at (20+) Taylar Cycles | Facebook Dan does as much as you can't, you figure out the rest.
Or Pat Dolan SPORTSMAN FLYER | SPORTSMAN FLYER MOTORBIKES Same thing. Both at top tier fabricators.

I always ask, what is your first name? It is something that makes conversation, more polite. The old farts, myself included, prefer first name exchanges.
I bid you good night. 15 been soup waiting for me.

This one?Hi Danny, I looked at husky wheels. They have a front 26X2.125 with a Sturmey Archer XL-FD drum brake.
I' using the same front wheel on my Flyer. I would caution you to get a brake lever with as much cable draw as possible.
Currently my front brake lever is a WalMart cheapy that barely gets the job done.

Wow, very interesting. Definitely bookmarking that for future reference!!!Now you need to read this link. Excalibur ‘09 | Motorized Bicycle Engine Kit Forum (motorbicycling.com)
Go to post number 47 and follow the instructions.
damn, out of my league, but truly inspiring. Thanks for the heads up.Here is another source of inspiration. Google "VEKST motorized bicycle build"
Another sick build I do want to build a loop frame bike someday but this is my first build so I better start a little more simple.Watch this one, more than necessary, but he covers a build that looks like a complete Cranbrook makeover.
Yup that's the one Danny, mounting hardware will go in a bag or in a box. The Sunlite front fork has the part welded on to hold the brake arm, Just in case you change your mind. Right side had the mounting bracket for a disc brake caliper.This one?

Check out the deal on Heavy Duty 26" Front Steel Wheel with Drum Brake Hub at Husky Bicycleswww.huskybicycles.com
If so, that’s awesome that would be a front brake without having to add the caliper and rotors externally.
I am thinking this bike gets upgraded husky wheels for sure. I think I’m even going to go look at a small mig welder today too lol.
