| hello friends iam new tothis discussion area, i want to know the materials used in bicycle pedal crank and shaft as iam working on bicycle pedal design project Also i need to proceed furtherby analysing various static and dynamic loads acting on pedal there by doing the failure/fracture analysis of that hoping for the help venkat |
| I am looking for Pierce Bicycle chainless pedal crank nuts. Some time ago a fellow contacted me about pierce parts I had for sale. He was also looking for crank arm nuts . This person did make some as he contacted me about a year or two ago but I have since lost the contact. I think he was in Washington State. Any help would be most appreciated. Dave |
| Hi, I found your address on google and thought I drop you a line. A friend asked me to look at an old bicycle. It's a Pierce Tried & True. It was dated April, 98 on the name plate. It's a shaft and gear drive with leaf springs for front forks. The bike is about 33" tall w/ 26" wooden rims. Someone told him that this bike was used by NYPD to make the rounds. Do you know anymore info about the bike and what the value would be. Any information would be helpful. Thanks, Bambi Mitchell |
| I picked up a bike which looks to be pre-1930's which has 26in. rim's, skiptooth rear sprocket(no brakearm) diamond style frame, rear facing dropouts with set screws. Did this bike come with 26in. wheels or would they have been changed from 28in. wheels? Were 26in. wheels used prior to the balloon era bikes? |
| I checked out the tire and rim chart on this site, could I have American lightweight 26in. rim's and would they pre-date 1930? The front sprocket looks like one I'd seen on a Davis Sewing bicycle listed for auction on ebay now. It came without the headbadge so now it's a search for "like bikes". I'll try and post a photo. |
| I took this bike for a ride today and it has a track style rear hub, you have to spread the front fork to remove the wheel because the fork dropout are holes not slots. It may continue to be a mystery bike for me, look's like an early race bike, cool! |
| Dan,yes they did make 26" wheels pryor to the balloon era.The earliest hubs were fixed type later freewheel and coasters were used but all bike companies offered what most called "standard" bicycle which was a bike built with a fixed hub. true track bikes were also built as America was the center of the track bike world in the 20s.So your bike could be any number of different things from a standard bike to a track bicycle.Keep reserenching---sam |
| Looking for early pre 1920 motorbike and bicycle parts, pedals, tail lights, tanks, headbadges, and project bikes. Email Dave at dmk441@yahoo.com if you have anything, thanks. |
| I recently purchased a bike that I am trying to get some info on with no luck. It has wooden spokes, hub, and wheel with a metal band just like a old wagon wheel. Hand grips are also wood. It has a metal frame and handle bars, with a leather seat on a leaf spring for comfort. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Jim |
| Possible Boneshaker, possible velocipede. Can you send me any pics to look at. I may be able to help. Greg RBR Inc. |
| Came across your inquiry while looking for a wooden wheeled bicycle. I need on for a property in a stage play. The premise in the play for the wooden wheeled bike is WWII, Europe and there is no rubber for the tires. Good luck with your investigation. |
