Is a flip flop hub installed in this bike, basically can you flip the back tire on this?

You take the wheel off the bike and there is a gear on each side. One you can free wheel the other you peddle as lone as the bike is moving and it can also be use to brake...just don't kill yourself

I have this bike, and I saw no bolt holes to mount a disk brake on the hub, so you will probably need a new wheel/hub. It does have mounts for a caliper on the frame though. However, the V-brake is more than sufficient. It allows for slowing with a little bit of pressure on the lever as well as locking up the back wheel when you need to stop fast. Time will tell on how long the rubber lasts though.

Yes you can. It's not very hard to install. I bought one at walmart for this bike and it has worked very well.

Yes and no. You can if the bike is firmly secure and doesn't "pivot." But if the bike "pivots" or leans to the inside then the pedal will hit. All in all, I would answer that Yes you can pedal it fine. I will be honest. I bought this rack for general repairs and I absolutely love it. I would highly recommend it for general maintenance and cleaning. The only addition I made was buying the Park handlebar stabilizer. That comes in super handy to hold the handlebars in place.

Yes, you can. Please consider that you must adjust te back hub into the wheel surface so it is tight enough... If you feel you are rolling -too soft- then you must adjust (sorry if the terms are not totally accurate, I am not an expert in mechanical-sports English; but I hope you get the idea). It's an easy to install and use item for the kind of bike you will use it for.

Yes, but the angles of rotation are a bit limited. As long as you get the right size bike for your height, I can't see it being a problem.

I got mine slightly back but my front tire is kinda skins and if u can anchor the stand it helps if u got a fatter tire just bend the sides of the Stan a little don't want it too loose make sure u got the bottem flipper the rite way makes a difference

No. The tire rests in an 'adjustable groove' NOT in contact with the spokes. I have a mtn bicycle with 2" wide tires and place the front tire in the stand since the back tire is already stable. It's kept in my apt. to keep it from extreme weather, and I love it!

I just tried it with a wheel. And it worked. Looks like should be fine with the whole bike too.

The rear tire is mounted like a normal bikeI don't see why it would not work

I think you can probably make it work. The rack is wide, and the height is easily adjusted, so I don't think fat tires would be a problem. The front stays swivel and extend where they connect to the rack, so you have a lot of options there even without bending anything. If you want to connect directly to the hub, I think you could do it by replacing the lower hardware with some kind of kludge (the standard hardware is narrower than the axle, so I'm skeptical about drilling it out).

Yes. The bike ships without the pedals installed so that's one less step! Just be aware that there is not the same amount of standover height as a balance bike, though.

It takes a 23c tube a tire if that helps. It does have the flip flop hub to add both, fixed and freewheel cogs.

no and when i got mine the back tire was so bent i had to return it it wouldnt spin i recommend you do not buy this one

Yes. The bike takes the place of the front wheel. The wheel is for walking or running.

No but actually I'm not sure about the back of the bicycle. The front yes! Back, not sure.

No. Just looked at it. The rear wheel axle is not as long as the front one so unless you modify something, I don't believe you could.
