All over it like white on rice :D

That stuff works wonders doesn't it? Thats exactly how I did mine :D :D

Well here's the bike it came from:http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=36547 The headbadge says Sears and Roebuck Co. on it. Any thoughts on the age of the hub though?

Check my build post, on page one there are pictures of the bottom bearings before and after cleaning with Simple Green viewtopic.php?f=21&t=36020

There are several products you could use if it is really grease covered I would use Simple Green or a similar degreaser. If it is just dirty there is a product called Krud Kutter that works really well for general cleaning it is easy to safe and biodegradable, so no need to worry about it...

pictures coming soon of the front fork mocked up with coaster brake hub :) ok as promised here is the front fork primed and mocked up with the skip tooth coaster rear hub and a close up just need to finish the mounting strap for the brake arm

Here is the hub in question:

I decided last night to tear apart and clean the rear hub that double nickle sent me Before: Removed the tire and the rim. Its so rusty it stays together even when holding it up by one spoke :roll: I reduced it to a pile of parts: I don't mind cleaning but I don't think those spokes will...

I second that thought I would love to know what members are close and when or where stuff is happenin' I posted a long time ago asking if there were any members in eastern Iowa or western Illinois but it seems either they weren't paying attn or did not want to claim where they live. So heres...

I just bought what was thought to be a Sturmey Archer 3speed. However, after doing some cleaning to find out exactly what model of SA3, I find that its not an SA3! Instead it says J.C. Higgins 50320 3 SPEED (small 6) Any help from the peanut gallery is greatly appreciated will post pics...

I have LoJack for my dog! Its called a micro chip. You can't track the dog but if it is lost, found and scanned then it will tell you the owners registration info. It never loses power because it is not active unless scanned. The chip is the size of a grain of rice. Why not epoxy one in the...

Got the sprocket back form my uncle tonight (FINALLY) In the last couple of weeks I have torn apart, degreased and reassembled the rear hub that came with the frame. It now resides in the front fork. At first the axle would not quite fit all the way in the front drop-outs, so I had to lightly...

Are those wood grips?

I think this ought to bump to the HOW TO SECTION Good post outskirt

Well did a little bit of painting the other day... I decided I would flat black the seat pan for now, I may recover it later but not sure on what color. So here it is reassembled for now.....

I was surprised to see the fork still looks true. I figured it would be pretty jacked but its not :roll:

Neighbor put out this Murray Wild Style 10 speed MTB for trash pick up today. Garbage men didn't take it so I figured I could repurpose some of the parts for the projects and maybe toss some out to y'all. I like the custom front tire! :lol:
