Re: Perry Two Star B-100 Rebuild Sorry to be annoying but im just not seeing it. The pics I have there are what im looking at so I dont know where the snap ring is supposed to be.

Re: Perry Two Star B-100 Rebuild My answer would be yes I guess lol this is as far as I've gotten. I didn't take the snap ring that I know of. I looked at the factory break down sheet you posted but I can't figure out what the snap ring actually is.

Being my first build i have no idea how to take apart and rebuild a rear hub but everyone said it was a must so I gave it a run. Its not all the way done but thanks to user Udallcustombikes its been much easier than I thought. I have a Perry B-100 hub and he has a thread on how to redo the whole...

Finally getting time to update my maiden build. I took the wheels apart and stripped them and primed them. Im half way through with the neon green paint job im giving them. Note to anyone who cares....rustoleum neon green sprays like garbage. So i have alot of work left to make them look good...

Re: Perry Two Star B-100 Rebuild Ok im stuck on this hub and need some guidence. Here are the pics I took for the break down. I soaked it in gas like you had mentioned. It was in a safe place dont worry. It cleaned up alot easier although that dust ring still didnt come out on the one end. But...

Re: Perry Two Star B-100 Rebuild Ok this is a total noob question. Once i get my hub broken down and everything looks good what is the proper way to lubricate this thing and what do I use? Same question for crank bearings. I have no idea what im supposed to do. Thanks for baring with my...

Re: Perry Two Star B-100 Rebuild This is just a random question out of curiosity. Mine does not have the double star on it but does say Perry B-100 England on it. Is it a slightly sifferent style or does that just mean its from a different time period?

I have my wheels all unlaced and right now im wire brushing all the garbage out of the old wheels. Before I buy new spokes etc can I paint the wheels the color I want or will they get scratched up when they get laced back up? Ive watched some videos where people just tape off their spokes and...

Re: Perry Two Star B-100 Rebuild Ok so I took it to a local shop today and it took forever for them to understand what I was explaining but eventually they got it in their vice and it finally came loose. So its pulled apart. This thing is gunked up hardcore. Any advice for removing the dust...

Re: Perry Two Star B-100 Rebuild So i put the thing in a vice and even the vice couldnt keep it from spinning. I feel like im getting dangerously close to rounding it off and the threads are getting a little chewed in the process. What do I do now? Is it reverse threaded or something? Im a huge...

Re: Perry Two Star B-100 Rebuild First off thanks for this thread. Its exactly what i needed mid disassembly of my first build. Im stuck pretty early though. The adjustable brake cone.....I cant get that thing off. What do you put on it? I put a wrench on the square end of the axel on the other...

Sorry, but yes I got this off Craigslist. lol It was on the Dayton, OH craigslist about a month and a half ago. Yeah the gutter style fenders are kinda wild and the rear rack is a nice look. They are real industrial looking. Im actually not going to use those on this build but im keeping them...

Kind of intimidated by this part of the project. Unlacing the orginal wheels. Once I get them apart I will have to tackle the hub which is even more intimidating for my first build. Heres a quick shot of them as they sit, pre breakdown.

Been working my way through the rattle can painting process and its going way better than expected. Heres a shot of the fork. No longer crusty and sporting the homemade stripe by the previous owners. A nice satin black now!

Thanks to advice from you all I decided to use a vinegar bath and SOS pads to remove all the gummed up crap off the sproket. Here is a before and after. I was really proud I was able to get this kind of result on my first try. Before: After:

I just picked up an Evans off craigslist about a month ago with those identical gutter fenders on it. Its a unique style. Im not using mine im going to hold them back for my second build. I had trouble figuring out my model though. All the Evans ive seen online seem to have the same chain guard...

I was unlacing my 50's Evans wheels today and one I got what I believe to be the original tires off there was a ton of corrosion on the inside of the wheels. This is common I would assume in these old things. The wheels dont appear to be compromised because there is no rust that is all the way...

I was trying to unlace my 50's Evans wheels today for my first build. The front wheel no problem.....screw driver and spoke wrench. Only had a few tough ones. The rear wheel however I can seem to get any of the nipples loose. Is this common? Am i doing something wrong? Do you just cut the spokes...

Hi this is my first build and im planning on using the factory rims that came on my 50's Evans. The tires on it appear to be original goodyears or at least very old. The size is 26x1.75 am I stuck with that tire size or is there some give in that size. Im trying to find white tires for it but...

Im new to the site and part way through my first build. Im building a cruiser but with a little boardtrack flair hopefully. I was wondering where everyone finds these awesome giant headlights. I dont even need one that works for the time being. Im not into the square art deco looking ones. I...
