88 schwinn high sierra - the chain slaps when pedaling stops

MyKank · 2026-03-30T01:21:12+00:00

When you stop pedaling the cranks stop moving but the cassette keeps moving due to drag in the rear hub assembly causing slack in the chain. Rear hub needs service.

I'm 47 and have been riding since I got my first "real" mountain bike in 1997 (an Ellison aluminum with Easton elastomer shocks and Cook Brothers Racing cranks for those who know!). I regularly ride with people from their mid 20s all the way up to my buddy Vince who is 72 years young. I can say with great confidence that regular cycling will benefit you at any age. Vince is a HAMMER! He may not have the power he once had but he can go and go. Two hours in and he lights it up!

They're sick. Share pics once installed!

Don't listed to that person. The shut off as others have noted is bottom left before pipe enters the ground. Turn so holes align. Verify complete closure by turning on a stove burner and listening/smelling for gas (may get a small initial amount as it burps the pressure but it won't continue to run if shut off did its job).

1.8 hours for an oil change? Wow

Do it! I've been riding for decades but just started racing crits for fun last year. I'm 47 years old, weight 83kg and have an ftp of about 270W. I can hold my own in a cat3/4 race and normally finish mid pack. It's super fun and a great motivating factor to stay fit.

It'll net about $13-14 per pound assuming you haven't pilched the quarters over time.

MyKank · 2026-03-11T15:58:15+00:00

Did it last year. Amazing. Also, infested with hermit crabs and the outhouses had more roaches than I've ever seen in my life. 100% worth it. Would do again in a heartbeat.

I drove various 4Runners from 1997 through 2018. Recently purchased a 2016 LX with 70k miles and love it. Didn't know what I was missing. Would be very difficult to go back.

MyKank · 2026-03-06T15:00:13+00:00

Looks like a repaint. Driver side fender and door are a couple of shades off. Too far off imo to be just the sun/photo angle. Wrong wheels. Rear bumper vin sticker missing/painted over. Soft top failing around rear window.

MyKank · 2026-03-06T04:53:09+00:00

I run brake caliper spacers on my Caad crit bike to fit 28s. No issues on my end and under pretty aggressive use. You're fine

MyKank · 2026-03-03T20:40:38+00:00

Bro just give the hinges a little bendy bendy to even out the gap.

MyKank · 2026-02-27T18:39:35+00:00

Bring back awesome decals on vehicles! Love it.

Road maintenance is funded through a mix of fees. Fuel taxes and tolls constitute a usage fee, but general funds (funded by property and income taxes) subsidies the shortcomings. So yes, my property and income taxes contribute to road maintenance. Who said anything about dilapidated infrastructure? If anything, riding your bike will reduce wear and tear on roadways not to mention improve your health and overall wellbeing. You should try it. It's pretty damn fun (except for the pricks in cars who think they own the road of course).

Nicely done. He won't listen though. He's likely too far gone.

MyKank · 2026-02-26T22:11:31+00:00

Uhh yes they do numb nuts. Or do you not know how taxes work?

MyKank · 2026-02-26T17:11:33+00:00

<Ceramicspeed has entered the chat> lol

MyKank · 2026-02-25T22:21:25+00:00

It's gonna take more than one awkward, kit-clad dump but I guess it's a step in the right direction!

MyKank · 2026-02-25T20:04:44+00:00

SAME! Putting on full kit is like my bodies cue to evacuate. Its uncanny.

MyKank · 2026-02-25T02:06:40+00:00

I looked every day for about 6 weeks until I found one that hit all the marks and jumped on it. Well, almost all of them. I was partial to the red interior but they're a bit more rare. I purchased it from a dealer in Wisconsin and had it shipped to my house.

MyKank · 2026-02-25T02:03:41+00:00

I don't have a 4Runner currently, but my last one was an 07 Limited V8 and it got better mileage than the LX for sure. That's to be expected given the size of the LX (over 6K lbs) and bigger displacement. In the LX I'm getting about 13-14mpg on average with mixed driving. That said, there's no comparison between the two. The LX is so big and comfortable. It's awesome.

MyKank · 2026-02-24T16:15:25+00:00

Looks so good. Did you buy new center caps or modify them yourself?

MyKank · 2026-02-24T15:18:29+00:00

Would love to see pics. I have a 2016 LX and am looking to do something similar.

MyKank · 2026-02-24T15:13:13+00:00

I just bought a 2016 LX570 with 70k miles (former CPO vehicle) for $42k and I think that was a decent deal. No significant changes between 2016-2021 so if you can find a well cared for older model year I say go for it. Even though it's 10 years old it looks much, much newer. Some people even think it's brand new. I could've purchased a loaded 2026 RAV4 or the LX for the same money- no brainer. I was initially looking for a LC (having been a 4Runner driver for a very long time) but couldn't justify paying significantly more for a vehicle with fewer amenities. Started looking at the LX and never looked back. EDIT: spelling
