So I just put one of my projects together... This one's for the wifey. It's a 24 inch Firestone 500 II. She had wanted to paint it pink, but honestly most of the paint is there and and all the details/graphics are there... I'm just gonna steelwool the fenders and stuff, hammerite paint the rims and reupholster the seat... The wheel on the rear has a Komet hub that feels nice and smooth, but when you pedal back to stop, little or nothing happens. I've opened up a few cheap chinese hubs and stuff, but I was hoping someone here had some experience with Komet hubs, any tricks, anyhting I need to know before opening one up...
The banana seat is from a girls 20" warrior princess bike, as are the grips and bars. Keepin' it in the firestone family...
Any help with the hubs would be sweet.
