Hi,
I'm tuning up a 1995 Huffy BackWater, and have so far have gotten about 5 speeds out of the 18 gear Shimano. I realize once you get it stable, *don't use the front derailleur. New seat, new brake pads, easy. I put some new handlebar grips on it and noticed they were a bit longer than the original foam grips. Has anyone used those handlebar extensions by Control Tech or FMFXTR?.
The reason I'm asking is because these products say 22mm diameter, and It looks like the inside handlebar is a little less than that. Of course, I have twisted on the new grips so I can't measure exactly now. Probably have to take them off to get the extenders on *anyway. Does anyone know the specs of the inside diameter of the old Huffys? Also I'm considering using some oak dowel rod and glue, why not.
