good call. i never noticed that. that would make it look way better. i wasnt planning on keeping this gear ratio, but i actually love it. im still waiting for my tires which are out of stock from the supplier. so for now im running one of my old 2.3 k-rads in the front and a free 1.95 kenda somethinorother i got off a bike from the garbage. surprisingly it looks brand new, and it is the exact same size as the tires i have on order, so its a good way to make everything fit properly. oh and i still need brakes.

i had a white 28t, but my hub cant run anything smaller than a 16t freewheel. so i decided to go with 16/34 and go from there. then i found a cheap 36t localy so i got it for a temporary ratio, and it turns out that i love it for my style of riding. so right now its 16/36.

no with the wheel in it... i wanna see how far back it is

flag flatoutfilms (Nov 2, 2009 at 19:21)
oh. well its about half way. theres still about half an inch more room for me to move the wheel forwards, this is just how i got it back from bikes and beyond so im living with it for now. when the snow flies i will start to tweak it and make it perfect.

For a brake, I have a pretty much brand new bb5. All you would need is a cable and your set. Gimme a shout if you need it or whatever.
