How do I get the handlebars on the 20" Thomas and Friends bike to lock into the forks? The bottom plug is cogged, but there's nothing for the cogs to fit into.

I am assuming the bike is like most bikes in terms of handle bars.
there should be a bolt on the top of the up tube of the handle bars.
it can be a hex key head or a bolt.

Now the cog is an expansion nut, and as you tighten the bolt the cog gets jammed against the inside of the fork tube to hold the handle bar in place.

SOURCE: Microwave plate doesn't fit on cog?!

I know this is probably DUMB of me to say, But some with this type of turntable arrangement, The ring would only set one way. The ring did not turn, but rather the wheels faced up and rolled with, and supported the turntable.

SOURCE: How to time loading arm cogs on VCR?

Most Panasonic VCR use a mechanisms with a letter. For example the NV-HS900 uses a K Deck. What you need to do is type the model number into google and search for which deck it uses. Then with luck you might also find the instructions for setting the deck up correctly. I got the K-Deck one free.

SOURCE: diamondback rm 20 kids bike. Can you adjust the handlebars?

Yes, there is an allen screw on the top of the stem of the handle bars.....it may also be a bolt with a head on it that can be turned with a socket or cresent wrench.

Loosen the bolt 3 or 4 complete revolutions and then wiggle the bars back and forth from side to side while pulling up. Be careful not to completely remove the screw as the piece that it is connected to will fall off and you will have to remove the bars completely to fix.

SOURCE: Fitting cam chain after replacing piston/rings.

Here's the deal > the chain position on the crankshaft cog makes no difference. No timing is done on that end. The timing is done when mounting the chain on the OHC. Run the piston up to TDC. Put the cam in a position where the cam lobes are pointing downward. Look at the cam gear. There should be two marks on one side of the gear. You should be able to see the marks from the left side of the engine. The cam is in time when the marks are parallel with the top gasket surface of the head and the gear is bolted to the cam. Now you have TDC compression stroke (good). If the cam lobes were pointing upward you would have TDC exhaust stroke (bad). Just to help you a bit in the future, I have a web site below where you can see a parts fitch for your specific bike.

You will select the actual brand, year, model, etc., once you go to the site. Part numbers and prices are also shown. You can order parts from this site. In the event no price is shown on a particular part, the part is not in stock.

Difference between a fixed gear and single speed bicycle?

Single speed bikes are often known as Fixed gear or fixie bikes.
But Most people don't know the difference between a fixie and a single speed bike.
It's all in the hub
Mechanically, the difference is so small that you might not spot it even when you are looking for it. It all comes down to the rear hub and how the single cog is connected to the rest of the drivetrain. Single speeds are fitted with a freewheel cog that rotates freely one way but locks up the other. This means that the cog will turn the rear wheel when you pump those pedals, but then freewheel when the rear wheel starts turning faster than the cog - much like a geared bike.

When it comes to Fixies, it has no mechanism on the hub. The cog is fixed into the hub. If the rear wheel turns, the cog turns, and if the cog turns, the pedals turn with that. I admit the difference is not so small, but one that has a huge effect on how a bike rides and requires some consideration before you decide on a bike.

I'm unable to install the handles bars. It seems the long screw will not reach. Am I missing something?

If you actually mean the handlebar stem (inserted into the fork column) then you may be missing the expander plug at the bottom of the stem. This this link for pictures and an explanation of how the stem tightens. Hands Up Or Down Adjusting Handlebar Stem Height on Your Bicycle It is possible that the expander is inside the fork column and can be removed by turning the bike upside down, pushing it out from the bottom or some other more creative methods. If the expander is nowhere to be found a bike shop or bike co-op can help.

Well, you're looking at. Shift it each way and find out. Two separate controls suggests binary opposing function.

You'll probably find it here. Adjustments will be necessary at some point.

I have straightened a large cog with a big screw driver, putting it through the outer part and levering against the inside.

I can't get the handlebars to lock in to the forks, any ideas?

You haven't given me much to go on, but a common problem is to mis-identify where to tighten. There is a large nut (about 1-1/4 inch) that is the locking nut for the headset (which is where the bearings are that allow the fork to turn and steer the bike). This large nut does not tighten the handlebars. Rather, there is a long bolt that travels straight down through the handlebar stem. The handlebar stem is the bar that clamps to the middle of the handlebars and extends vertically down into the headset. At the bottom of the bolt (where you cannot see it) there is a wedge shaped nut. When you tighten this bolt the wedge nut jams itself inside the tube which is the top of the forks inside the headset, thereby locking the handlebar stem to the the forks. The head of the bolt you need to tighten can have a variety of shapes - could be an ordinary hex head, or it may require an Allen wrench (hex key). There are lots of different styles, but if you Google images of "handlebar stem" you will get the idea. good luck. Al K

We bought a schwinn bike lock last year.....of course threw away the instructions....it is locked (not on the bike)...is it possible t reset it somehow?

Try putting a lot of pressure as to open the lock on either end of the coupling. Turn the numbered cogs one by one feeling for the one that has the most resistance. The one with the most resistance is the one that is keeping it locked. Move this one forward or back until you can no longer feel resistance. Keep doing this for all the cogs. This may take some time.
After (if) you get it apart, look down the barrel as you move the numbers to find where the cogs are aligned as to put the lock back together with out locking it; i.e. the barrel is free of cogs. This should be all the same number, like 5. Once you have this number and the barrel free of cogs, there should be a switch at the end of the numbered barrel that you can flip up and over to the other side of the opening. Flip the switch, choose a new number that you can remember, and flip it back. This should be your new combination number. The lock should work now.
Good luck

Honda cbr900rr transmission , slipping out of 2nd gear into neutral, does engine need to be pulled apart to get to gearbox

Hi Jason..

I had exact same problem.. bottom line I had to replace selector forks (all three) and second gear cog.. If u do replace a gear cog then please take a tip from me (lesson hard learn't). Have all your gears undercut at the same time or it will slip out of another gear.. I got my bike back after 2 nd gear done and on the same day 3 rd gear started to slip. Had to send bike back and have all the cogs undercut... Now its fine.

And yes u do need to remove motor to open gearbox and u will need to replace gaskets..
