I have an old mini bike that, as far as I can tell, is a Heathkit (see pictures to verify). I've got two areas that I hope someone can help me with.
1. I've twice tried putting a drum brake assembly on, but both times the brake seems to wear out very quickly. Is there a popular disc brake assembly used for heathkits?
2. As seen in the picture, I used a piece of PVC to tension the chain. Is there a chain tensioner than I can buy? I have seen a chain tensioner before on a DoodleBug. Is there anywhere I can get one like that?
thanks for the help!
