What's the proper setting on Ruixing 124 carburetor.

Question edited for clarity and spelling. It is a very basic carburetor used on chainsaws and generators. Lubricate the throttle cable. Make sure there is a little slack in the throttle cable and make sure the throttle return spring is closing the carb, right back to the stop. Then adjust the tickover. https://www.google.com/search?q=ruixing+124+set+setup+manual https://www.google.com/search?q=49cc+bicycle+motor ..

Can you please provide me a list of all major bike

I have listed the most famous bike types: BMX Bicycle

Bicycle Moto Cross (BMX) bicycles are designed for rough off road riding and are typically single speed. People also use them for stunt riding, and you may see some fitted with stunt pegs.

Mountain Bike (MTB)

A mountain bike is designed for trail riding and downhill riding. It can also be ridden on the road. They come in many shapes and forms. Some have no suspension, whilst others have front and rear suspension. A mountain bike without rear suspension is usually called a hard tail bike.

Most MTBs use 26 inch wheels which is the standard. This size wheel is fairly strong, especially when coupled with the large off road tyres that are fitted to MTBs.

An MTB is suited for off road riding and will handle rough terrain quite easy. It is very stable on rough terrain, but is a lot slower to ride on the road when compared to a road bike. It is also suitably geared for climbing hills.

Hybrid Bicycle

Another style of bike that has a similar riding position to a mountain bike, but better road speed is a Hybrid bicycle. Hybrids are a cross between a mountain bike and a road bike. They have an upright comfortable position, road tyres, and are usually a lot lighter than a mountain bike.

Hybrid bicycles are typically used for commuting.

Touring Bicycle

A touring bicycle is designed for loaded cycle touring and has the capability to be fitted with mudguards, racks, panniers and extra water cages. They are typically fitted with wider road type tyres that are suitable for gravel riding also.

They usually come with a stronger frame and longer chainstays so that the back of your feet don't hit the rear panniers. They are usually fitted with a relaxed drop bar style handlebar. The geometry of the frame is also different and allows for much more easier steering and handling when loaded.

Expedition Bicycle

As above for touring, but usually fitted with Trekking bars and MTB gear and is designed for extreme off road conditions.

Randonneur or 'All Rounder'

A rare beast in Australia where we like to specialise. 'Randonneur' is a French term, coined to describe a bike that can do a bit of everything - you can ride with the pack or take a doddle with the kids, you can ride light or carry a load, you'd use it to visit Gran on Sunday then pick up some groceries on the way home. They are the 'family station wagon' of cycling. However, like any Jack of All Trades, they do everything well but the specialists do it better. They can carry a load but not like a heavy tourer. They are fast but heavier than a racer and with more comfortable geometry. They have wider wheels and tyres to ride on rough roads but wont handle true off road work.

Typically, they look like any other racing or flat bar road bike ... until you look at the details. Most randonneurs start life as a touring bike or hybrid, and are then modified by the owner over time to reflect how they are used.

How do I remove the front tire on a yerf dog tricycle?

they all come of the same. Start by removing all the air. The use a tire removal tool (using a sharp item like a screwdriver will surely punch a hole in the tube) to catch the tire tread and lift it over the rim. Continue around the pull the other side off. If the issue is getting it off the fork, you may have to release the brake mechanism.

How to set the combination on a Blackburn ANGOLA COMBO CABLE LOCK

Open the lock using the original combination, which was 0000 for mine. Once open, you will find two tabs on the lock side--on top and bottom of the lock portal. Push in both tabs, and hold them down while you set the new combination. Once it is set, put the post back in to make sure it is still open. Twist the dials to lock it, and then you should be able to unlock using your new combination.

Needto lubricate rear wheel bearings on a huffy single speed bike

as most bikes do not have seals on the wheel axles , it is possible to lay the bike on the side , use machine oil on the hub and axle area and spin the wheel while allowing drops of oil onto the axle bearing hub area or you can take the hub apart and fill with a very light grease

My Cateye Velo 5 is only working intermittently. Why?

Hi, I'm seeing that it might be a battery issue. So if you replace the battery and perform an "all clear", this can help you move forward. Also, please monitor the temperature within which your device operates. Thank you.

Convert a front brake from a caliper to a disk brake

That isn't going to work unless you can do welding and fabrication. Your existing caliper brake is fitted to the top stem of the forks and through a cantilever system applies rubber brake pads to the rim of the wheel. Disc brakes have a brake rotor fitted to the wheel, and a brake caliper fitted to a welded bracket on the fork leg. When you apply the brake either by cable or hydraulically the two brake pads are squeezed against the rotor. You have two choices 1. Buy the forks, and wheel complete with braking system. 2. Buy a plain Titanium wheel and upgrade the cantilever caliper brake. Google doesn't show any with a front disc brake so no idea where you got this wheel from? You best bet is to visit a local cycle shop. https://www.google.com/search?q=Worksman+Port-o-Trike%2C+disc+brake+upgrade ..
