7 Speed Nexus Wheel Set

[Skipton]

Friend at work who is a hard core bike commuter wife rides (or did ride) a Bianchi Milano. Well the headtube cracked and they got her
a new bike. So Bob asked me if I would be interested in The Nexus 7 speed wheel set with a roller bearing brake

"Yes I would!"

Cool looking Kenda tires

Plus bag full of parts and two handle bars not shown.

Not bad for $80 :mrgreen:

If I was smart I would save this stuff for the Build Off.
But I'm going to use the wheel set for my older son's 11th birthday gift.
He will have better equipment then me! :shock: :mrgreen:

This is the kind of bike the parts came off.

I love my Nexus 7. So much so that I'm not the kickback fanatic I used to be. I have the coaster brake instead of the roller. With a large drum brake on the front, I rarely use the coaster. Also, with the Nexus I put a 52T chainring on and have loads of top end here on our dead flat ground. Makes my bike really fun to ride. Gary

I honestly don't think there is a crime in the kid having better if it's getting used. I feel good about myself when I quietly do that kind of thing for my son.

Aaron at http://www.rideyourbike.com/index.shtml has a rebuild and weatherization service for these hubs that I'd recommend. Every time I go over there are one or two wheels people are sending in from all over the world.

I love the 7 speed nexus...

Great find!

Wow that's a big statement coming from a kickback fan like you!
I have a 4 speed Nexus roller brake hub on my Turquoise fender Schwinn I love it!(Everyone seem to hate on the 4 speeds)
Chicago is also board flat the only time I use 4th gear is when I have a 40mph tail wind on the lake front :mrgreen: So fast!
I would like to have a coaster Nexus, just such a cleaner look.


mrfritz,

Thanks I think he will ride the snot out of it! :mrgreen:
Lots of great info on that site thanks for the tip!

Thanks Skip

I echo the rest of the gang on this fantastic hub...I put a Nexus 7 coaster on my '62 American DeLuxe and I LOVE it.Anytime I'm invited to go on I ride where as I either don't know or am unsure of terrain,I usually grab the ole Schwinn simply because it is Nexus equipped...Pappy 8)

I love my Nexus 7 with roller brake... I'm sure you'll love it to. OH if you get a trigger shifter be prepared to spray it through and through with carb cleaner to get the dried up grease out. I had a really hard time with mine and still use WD40 on it from time to time.

Looking forward to seeing his build with this wheelset. I love my Nexy on Flexy! Really easy to put an old muscle bike shifter on one of these too.
