.... looking for a front 16X3 - 16X4 rim and also a 18X or 19X whatever you have rim. Building a chopper and acquiring parts that don't match. Figured I'd use these wheels with whatever forks I decide to use. Only thing I need to worry about is the width and axle size. Doing this off the top o...

Hey gggGary, Thanks for the reply. I know nothing about bikes but I'm learning. Just going on logic and ignorance, the end piece looks like a stop. (not adjustable) how do you adjust the chain? ........... 20 minutes later ....... I figured it out. I can see what they're for. Just use regular...
