I am just about ready to junk a set of wheels on this bike http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=23600 The rear hub grinds when applying the brake and does a revolution and a half before it will go forward again, I have taken it apart and not sure if there is anything to adjust, it looked to have plenty of grease, and I believe the hub is a Hi stop or something less than quality. Thanks for any help you can offer.
 
Sounds like the hub is ground out on the drive side. Sometimes you can another season by grinding 1/4" off the drive cone, but you're better off just spending $30.00 on a new cheap wheel. edit> :oops: Just reread your post, grinding brakes would be the worn out shoes or "drum", time to junk it or try shoes from a trash wheel.
