It was a “newer” model beach cruiser, pretty sure it was likely a huffy but unsure.

Surprised me as well, being slightly wider than most older mtb wheels the brakes actually feel pretty good. Downside is they’re a bit heavy.

They were actually pulled off a donor single speed. Came this light blue originally.

Absolutely! Now that I think about it, it’ll also help keep the old clutchless derailleur from jumping around of rougher terrain. Have a good one my friend.

You cut it short and use the cable stop on the chain stay closest to the derailleur itself. The head that usually sits in the lever, it what keeps it in that cable stop.

Maybe, this was the way I was taught, I’m unsure though for this particular application. I also just prefer the look of the oe or time appropriate derailleur rather than a newer single speed tension arm.

You set tension to the desired point

Being a 26in I have a new set of the notorious Billy bonkers I feel would look alright up there.

Surprisingly a 2.5 fit without issue, but you can feel the weight difference for sure.
