My wife tolerates it...it keeps me out of bars and off of street corners. (except when dumpster diving for bike parts :lol: ) She can always tell where I am when the shop lights are on. :wink: Aaron 8)

I like the one with the "continental spare" on it...got any closeups or know where to get the mount kit? Aaron 8)

Cable adjustment and shooting a bit of oil thru the gear plunger hole are the first steps, then ride it for a while. If it still slips it may be a broken pawl spring or a stuck pawl. They can be torn down and cleaned. I usually use Simple green, then put back together with light weight motor...

Bee Double eee Double Are You ennn.... :lol: :P I would see if that rear basket could be adjusted up a bit tho...wouldn't want to lose anything important! :shock: Aaron 8)

I have a couple of the 333 hubs mounted on that sized wheel. They are pretty easy to come by. The kicker is finding a working shifter...the hubs are okay if they are working, but repair parts don't exist. There are plenty of Sturmey Archer 3 speed hubs out there too. I would avoid the TCS series...

That can be hard on the tin snips...especially if you plan to cut metal with them in the future... :P Aaron 8)

Make sure the cones are adjusted properly. Usually means they are too tight. Or that you have a build up of gunk in the hub and it could stand to be cleaned. Aaron 8)

Use cable cutters, they are available from Park Tools or you may be able to find some in the tool section of your local home center. As far as the keeping the ends from fraying, you can solder them back after cutting (use flux and paste solder) or you could buy a bag of the little crimp caps...

It allows you to take pictures really close up with out them blurring (like 6" or so close)...And why do I think this may be a mistake giving this information to the Rickster... :roll: :shock: :P :wink: :mrgreen: Aaron 8)

If you have Microcrap Photo Editor you can open it up using that, pick "Edit" and then "resize" from the pull down window and plug in the size you want. Other wise you will need to use some other photo program. What do you have to use? Aaron 8)

I also found out not to hold something with your bare knees when using a brass wire wheel in the drill.... :shock: :roll: Aaron 8)

Ricky....READ :P the photo descriptions...it is a 1956 Plymouth Savoy it was considered a business man's coupe in it's day. Aaron 8)

After the 0000 steel wool I polish mine up with Turtle Wax Chrome polish. Brass wool is hard to find around here for some reason, as are decent small brass brushes. I used to buy them at the local Lowes home center but the stopped carrying the brass wool and the brushes now come from china and...

Depends on where ya find 'em :mrgreen: My last one only cost $5 and it came with most of a bicycle attached :lol: I have seen them at a vintage parts sight for about $65 or so. I currently only have one in hand and it is headed for my current rat build up. Aaron 8)

Now how to you get coffe off the monitor and out of the keyboard :?: :lol: :lol: Someone needs to figure how how to warn us BEFORE we open the thread! :mrgreen: Aaron 8)

I see they finally fixed the in car traffic cams in Raleigh, NC :? ...ROFLMAO :D Actually he is pretty tame compared to some of the ones I have observed. Aaron 8)

Only problem I have is the links color is a bit hard to see on the gray background, they aren't hard to find...just hard to read what the word(s) are. Other than that I like the over all forum format and colors. Aaron 8)

Well the good news is it says "Made in the USA" on it :lol: ratrodrob, I have a monster air compressor, 80 gallon tank 7.5hp two stage. It is still sitting in the crate until I get a decent shop built to put it in. We picked it up a while back at a bankruptcy sale :D along with a few other...

Kewl! I have a couple of those lying around but hadn't thought to use them. I usually use the brash brushes mounted in a drill or the wheels in the mini grinder. When I get a compressed air line in my shop it will be an air powered grinder :mrgreen: Aaron 8)

Those are actually pretty easy to work on and parts are as close as your local Honda Dealer. Aaron 8)
