iloveboxcars Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I have a bike. it is an openroad .. 1970.. schwinn frame... i assume this will help.. I don't have the front rim/tire etc. I need 26" 1 3/4th's size. they do not make these any more. They do make 26" 1.75 size... but apparently that is not the same thing.. anyone know where i could find a rim that is the size i need?

BUNBUNBIGGY Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 http://img51.exs.cx/img51/6143/Bianchipista.jpg'> But I manned up and ride brakeless now. Holla at the kid. Anyone know what which bullhorn bars are good? or know how should i cut my old bars to make them into bullhorns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bruno Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 so i just received my new wheelset for my old school bianchi. my question is: should i go ahead and buy a new cassette? the wheel is compatible with shimano 8/9 speed, but i dont know if my old cassette will work. im going to the bike shop here in a few to get some tools and what not. so hopefully i will answer my own question tonite.

IMO bullhorns are something you either love or hate. Not something you get into because all the cool kids are doing it. It's a different ride and makes stopping a whole new ball game... especially if you're hitting the hand brakes. If you have access to a pair of bullhorns, that you can borrow... give a try and see how you like 'em first. At least before you go and drop $50 on a pair. I prefer Nitto Keirin track bars over bullhorns. A more comfortable ride. Though again... it's just my opinion and what works for me. Profile makes a decent bullhorn bar... I think it's called the Airwing and it's about $40 or so. Syntace makes a similar bar for about $50 or you can get crazy and go with the new Visiontech bar for $70... I think. Maybe $80. But trick as far as bullhorn bars go. And I'm pretty sure Nitto makes a bullhorn bar for about $50 too. I'm actually in the market for a new fixed bike so I'm searchin' around for a good... nah, skip that... great deal. If anyone hears of one, let a brotha know.

BUNBUNBIGGY Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I like the way bullhorn bars feel. I'm just gonna cut one of my old bars to make them into bullhorns because school pretty much cut all my spending money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloner Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 excuse my ignorance to the other half of the biking world, but what are bullhorn bars? i think i know what they are, but just checkin'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porque Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 ...instead of curving down, around and back, bullhorn bars curve up and then stop short...so they look like a bull's horns...the manufactured ones usually have a slight bend in them for your hand to fit...but you can make ghetto bullhorns by just cutting a standard bar and flipping it upside down...i know people that love them and people that hate them...

cloner Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 ahh, thanks..ive been thinking about looking into maybe mountain/trail bikes, for riding on the side besides bmx. i think it would be fun as fuck flying through the woods taking big drops and stuff like that. i mean, i do it on my brakeless 20inch now, but i think it would be nice to have another bike for that.

porque Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 ...and in case anyone cares...i ride a fuji 7005...not too fancy, but it gets the job done...i've been wanting to build a fixed for a while and just haven't done it yet...before i got this i used to dig for old bikes at thrift shops, fix 'em up, and then ride them for a while till i sold them to somebody else so i could start all over again...i love bikes...

cloner Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 i love bikes, but i hate brakes. thats why i ride brakeless i wish i knew how to work on brakes and tweak em real nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 so dope to see so much action in this thread again. where's crunch at? holla!

EyeforAnEYE Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I need some help, I'm looking to get a bike, just to get around, and money is sort of an issue, I'm not looking to spend tons of money. What do you guys recommend I look into? any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 cloner...what do you want to know about brakes? eyeforaneye...there are shitloads of old roadbikes at garage sales for under $20. I'd avoid pawn shops and the like...they seem to think the bike is better than it really is. do you want to put paniers or something like that on it or are you just gonna use a bag? fixed gears are super low maintenance but its not for everyone. don't get a huffy...look for old schwinns, treks, motobecanes or bianchis.

cloner Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 really just how to set em up, and tweak them so they WORK everytime ive ever had brakes on, they sucked, and i just end up riding brakeless once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAustin Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 what kind of bike? all I've ever worked on is mountain and road ish. a good general maintenance book on mt. bikes is zinn and the art of mt. bike maintenance. not sure if there is a bmx version. so whats not working with them? is it tension on the levers or the brakes rubbing on the tires?
