'74 Schwinn Breeze. Adventures at the Thrift.

[franconuevo]

I went to Thrift today..looking for some 'bling' for my MBBO UNVEGA bike....and look what I dragged home
This baby was garaged...no rust.no kiddin'.going to shine up like you read about.
Geez..and, after I just sold two on CList yesterday, I thought I had gained a little room in the bike shed.

Rear Hub is Toast. Coaster brake that spins backwards, and wont drive the wheel pedaling frontwards...it just spins..I'll get to lookin' at that someday.

Have a watch of the video in this thread: http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/index....-rodding-your-cb-hub-for-klunking-duty.93356/

Nice clear explanation of how coaster hubs fit together and ways to make it work and last better!

Luke.

Thanks Luke, I'll give that a peep for sure.

Edit: I watched that a long time ago before I ever really tore a hub apart...it makes a whole lot more sense now...I dig the mods he did with the loose bearings and chamfering of the shoes...that was great..thanks again...OH, and I like his videographer too....

Wow! That's a clean One! Good Grab!

I'm sure once you tear the hub apart it will be obvious what's wrong with it.

How's it going bro? .....
yeah, I've cleaned out a couple now...one other I did the brake shoes had slid together and were all gunked....and that's a great vid that Luke recommended above...I have three in line before I get to that bike..yaaay.lucky me.
