This may sound dumb, but you do have the thin locking nuts on each end right? Once you get the play set, you have to "lock" your adjustment by tightening the lock nut while holding the cone so it can't move.

Okay, maybe I don't know what I'm looking for here - do any of these look correct? http://i1125.photobucket.com/albums/l58 ... /clips.jpg

I apologize, it totally slipped my mind and I forgot to look last night. I'll do my best to remember to check tonight after work.

I think I have those centering rings. I always thought they were to keep the axle from dropping out of the fork if the nuts came loose. Anyway, I'll check my parts tonight and let you know.

Nice bike - and great looking seat! The tires look like the ones on my Elgin. I got them from Memory Lane. The valve is just for looks. I think they say "Universal" on the sidewall.

Looks awesome. I have the threaded fender rivet/screws if you get up here for a visit, or if you pm your address I will mail you some.

Aircraft stripper. Usually available at Walmart. Use with gloves, eye protection and plenty of ventilation.

What length do you need? Let me know and I'll see what I can find.

Al, I have some SA cables if you find you need one. I hope you have better luck with the offending member have a conscience than I have. I have been screwed twice in the past few months on this site and I am close to quitting for a second time.

My Dad had one of those vans with the 3 speed column shift. The linkage was so worn that every once in awhile it would get stuck between gears and you would have to get out and reach up under the grill and push and pull until you got it unbound.

In the early 70's I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Liberia West Africa. A fellow volunteer started calling me Crassly and it stuck.

With the calulator I provided the link to, you enter the circumference and click on "solve others" and it will provide the diameter and area of the wheel. Or if you happen to know the diameter and are wondering what the circumference is, you can enter the known value and it will calculate the...

I've never done it, but if I had to, here is what I would do. Take a piece of string and go around the rim where the rim strip would go. Measure that length to get the circumference. Then go to: http://math.about.com/library/blcirclecalculator.htm or any of a number of online calculators. Plug...

When the cable is at maximum length, the hub should be in 3rd (high). Pulling the cable (shortening) should shift to 2nd and eventually 1st. Try adjusting the cable length a couple turns at a time until you get it into another gear and then fine tune from there. You do have the stop on the outer...

Too bad you didn't have a screwdriver in your pocket. If you had held it out like you were going to trash his paint job I think he would have moved over.

Re: Hey BMX'ers, I Need Hubs! Never mind - I just dug them out and the rims are Araya and the hubs are Shimano, but they are not sealed bearings, they are loose ball.

Re: Hey BMX'ers, I Need Hubs! I have a set of 20 inch gold rims with gold hubs, but I don't remember what brand they are. Would you be interested in the wheel set? I don't think I would want to sell the hubs seperate.

I replied to your pm with a address request so I can mail you the spring.

I have heard and/or read that it is a good practise to replace the transfer spring everytime you do a rebuild or service of a New Departure hub. I have quite a few NOS springs and would be happy to send you one if you would like to replace yours and see if that helps.
