    Nexus 4 question

    I think that the hub was created for folding bikes with 20 inch wheels. That would explain the gear ratios. I swapped out the rear cog for a 23T w/26" wheel. Helps a lot with beach cruising, but would not be ideal for extended hill climbing.

    How to tell brake and shifter cables apart

    Not to mention the Positron cable. Usually solid cable, used as a push - pull shift system like the Shimano Nexus 4 (speed) internal geared hub. No longer available new.

    Sturmey Hub - Special washer??? Do I need this?

    Yes, you should install the anti-rotation washers on the flatted axle. I would place them on the axle inside the dropouts,tabs facing out. You may have to spread the frame a little, as you go, to get the hub to slide in. The axle threads are fine and shallow. Tighten nuts snug, but not tight, or...

    29er coaster brake

    Regarding finding a bike shop, look for one that prides itself for BMX bikes sales and service. Talk with the mechanic and state the brand name of your hub, and that it is a 29er .

    Freshen up whitewalls?

    For me, so far nothing is perfect. I am getting my best results with Mr Clean Magic Eraser and water. Wear rubber gloves.

    Pandemic, Presta tube and International shipping.

    In that situation, Slime probably would of worked. Miserable stuff to work with when it's a Presta valve though. Glad to see that you will have a replacement.

    What size rotor?

    Whatever size that you want. The mounting points on the fork are the "bosses". The caliper mounts on the appropriate adapter for the rotor size, and the adapter mounts to the bosses.

    Full grip twist shifter

    There have been threads about this shifter, but I find the archives to be a bear to search. Here is a pic posted by another member, might have been stranger (sp) ? , I forget. https://ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?attachments/c6358a44-bff2-4c7e-8513-b38f31fc4f3a-jpeg.78478/

    Full grip twist shifter

    Yes. Kustom Kruiser - Slick Daddy has the full grip Shimano Nexus 3 speed twist shifter, as you describe. I like how it looks, and shifts. One thing though , with your arms raised to hold on to the Dyno - D style handlebars , the wrist tends to turn downwards. This has not caused an unwanted...

    Fixing 5/16 Front Axle Threads?

    Of course if the axle is threaded all the way across , you can remove all of the parts off of the good side. Once that you know the thread size, PorkChopBMX has the axle,nuts, and lock nuts .
