i noticed my wally mart cruiser sounds like a rotary car with a bad exhaust when im coasting like the brakes are trying to catch i greased the daylights out of it and the problem still persists worst part is i cant take it apart from the sproket side. are most coaster hubs similar its a 36 spoke wheel and the hubs are about 30 bucks for a shimano

You could just get a complete brand new chrome wheel with Shimano coaster hub from Niagara Cycle for $31 http://www.niagaracycle.com/product_inf ... s_id=31594. They have matching fronts too. Or really pimp your ride with some painted aluminum wheels from Villy for just a bit more. http://www.villycustoms.com/index.php?o ... &Itemid=10

nah my cruiser is black and white with some chrome i ended up figuring out the problem by pulling the wheel back further and adding more grease on the hub.
