I think you can trust the old chain for width, just not length (as measured in inches/cm). When I replace a chain and I have the old one in manageable condition, I lay them out side by side and match link by link to get the length. Otherwise, it’s not too hard to get the length of the chain by threading it into the derailers and around the sprockets.

It’s hard to justify throwing much money at a kids bike that retails $60 new, for example. I found an 18″ with a 1×7 drivetrain that just needs a little work, and I can source the parts from others I’ve scrapped, so it’s a keeper. Before you sink any time or money into this, verify that it actually works. Does it go forward when you pedal and does it stop when you brake?

huffy beach cruiser

No matter the terrain, the Pave n’ Trail rolls smooth on pavement while being able to handle off road rides on hard packed trails and grass. Just as a wave is about to break, there’s a little pocket of awesome called The Barrel. It’s a place that lasts a moment but feels as if all time slows down.

The bike is a single speed and has an easy-to-use coaster brake . This bike is a match for the everyday rider who doesn’t want to bust his/her budget with an over-priced, over-accessorized schwinn spin bike bike. It’s recommended for riders who are 60 inches or taller and are at least 13 years old. This beach cruiser is tops when it comes to all-around features for men.
