A couple of weeks ago I picked up a really cheap AMF Roadmaster. I found it on CL and immediately fell in love with the mags and dry rotted 80's BMX tires. I just had to pick it up and find out what it was all about.
Last night I took both wheels apart in an attempt to rebuild them. I think most of the bearings are salvageable, but I probably need at least one axle (10mm x 1.00 x 140mm).
The tires/tubes are definitely shot. I'm going to shop for new ones today. However, the size listing is interesting. Both tires said 20 x 2.125, but the wheels are only ~16-3/4" OD. I'll have to see what I can find on that subject.

ReplyDeleteThe tires are bicycle tires which are sized based on the OD rather than the ID.
ReplyDeleteany bike shop should have them
pretty sure those are not the stock rims, i've never seen a roadmaster with mags, and those look very much '1980's bmx' to me.
rad on the lemons too. my buddy provided the chrysler K-series executive limo for the judges this year!
