i had two guys looking at my bike yesterday and one offered me to purchase it once its done and painted, he wanted it all white, i asked him how much he thinks bike will be worth once done he goes $500 maybe less. when i told him how much i got only in parts, he gave me this cold ass look, lol, i just wish i had it on video camera, lol

 

[BelayBoy]

currently waiting for jack-shaft plate to arrive, if it gets here tomorrow will start putting things together

 

[azbill]

yup, most think parts are free and labor is even cheaper !!!

 

[BelayBoy]

purchased chain and its on the way #35 and #41

 

[BelayBoy]

gosh, shipper is located 3 miles from me and it will take 2 days for usps to deliver it

 

[BelayBoy]

just got it ,

 

[BelayBoy]

20. paid total $91.89 (JackPlate $69.95, Bearings $6.95, 4 mounting bolts)
will not use this plate

took the rear fender off and installed the ball bearing jackshaft mount, and forgot to take picture

 

[BelayBoy]

The picture of completed mount




so, after further investigation, stress and sweat this is the only way and cost effective way to go on this bike

i do not recommend any mounting plates on the engines, stripped bolts or bolt holes on the engine

 

[BelayBoy]

currently looking into installing 24" rear wheel with 26" front wheel

the reason behind 24" is the fender, but don't know if it will look stupid

who ever did it do you care for sharing some pictures?

Use the agk gear ratio calculator, you need something like ~ 12.*** something overall reduction...sounds like your geared a little tall. Might want to consider using something like a 56t sprocket rear sprocket.

Also I'm not sure if they make sprocket adapters for the multi-geared hubs, there usually made for coaster brakes hubs.
Plus any good sprocket adapter and sprocket together is easily going to cost 70+ after shipping.

Another route is finding a decent rear disc mountain bike rim and buying a sprocket from agk of your choice that mount to the disk brake hubs directly without any special adapters

My investigation leads me to this sprocket in their website -
http://www.affordablegokarts.com/mm...Code=A&Product_Code=AGKZ5328**&Category_Code=

If this is the sprocket, will the completed hub assembly hold up to a jack shafted HF 79cc drivetrain? Does anyone know of any alignment issues? Looks like a winner in certain builds.

 

[MotorBicycleRacing]

Are you going with #35 chain?
That is 3/8" pitch chain.

Agk also sells sprockets for 41 chain.

 

[OC-CA]

Yes, of course, 41 chain. Read the description too fast. I am thinking a sprocket and adapter (2 or 3 piece) would provide more adjustability and have the option to transfer over to another hub if necessary.

Thanks

been gone a while, trying to fix my cnc router but anyways

currently working on the front fork need to install disc brake

 

[BelayBoy]

after further thought i will need my 29nr fork installed, as much as i love my riverside front fork it will have to go.

so here is the question

does anyone know, what size of the head tube Schwinn riverside got

i am planing to purchase Retro Ryder Headset http://www.genuinebicycleproducts.com/parts.html



just got reply from genuine Paul

"i understand, the problem being there are several different diameters of head tube that are 1" threadless steerers."

so question still stands

does anyone know, what size of the head tube Schwinn riverside got?

 

[BelayBoy]

maybe i can measure the head tube outside diameter and wall thickness of the seat post tube. hopefully Chinese used same tubing gauge for head tube and seat post tubing

so question still stands

does anyone know, what size of the head tube Schwinn riverside got?

 

[magna_503]

assuming the riverside is the same is the clairmont, my steerer tube is 1".

 

[BelayBoy]

assuming the riverside is the same is the clairmont, my steerer tube is 1".

thank you magna

that's whats confusing this is what sales guy from http://www.genuinebicycleproducts.com/parts.html told me

"i understand, the problem being there are several different diameters of head tube that are 1" threadless steerers."

also
http://old.canecreek.com/headset-fit-finder
indicates 1"
30.1mm (shis:30-1"traditional standard)
or
SHIS:EC30/25.4|EC30/26 (1" Traditional Standard)

now how much do we trust canecreek, my bike is schwinn riverside purchased from kmart in 2012

 

[BelayBoy]

Paul Rivera advised "it needs to be 32mm" so for 30mm headset we have to find different source
