ok today when i was out riding ym free spirit i had a first time encounter that never happened to me before. i was riding down my street getting ready to turn into my driveway and when i did i hit a major pothole at which time i heard a loud high pitched grinding noise like when you have bad brakes on a car then i couldn't pedal it was like it was stuck between gears
so at this point i stopped and noticed the pin that goes inside the wheel had fallen out and the end piece that pushes o the pin had fallen off and came off the cable.
i have been adjusting this part here and there to get all 3 gears working and they seemed like they were.
upon inspection i did not notice anything broken but the wheel does not seem to want to pedal just spins like its in a neural place.
the question i have is does anyone know how i could get these gears working again? i don't have much experience in working on 3 speed internal hubs and this one is a coaster brake hub so it has the brakes to mess with too.
i just spent 60 bucks on getting these wheels trued and enw tires installed and i really enjoy riding this bike but if the rear wheel is shot then i am going to part it out.
would a major bump cause something like this or was it over/undradjusted and this just made it fall apart?
thanks for any info i will take a pic of the hub tomorrow and show you guy what i am talking about
