 Re: Riding in the hood.
every time I have a bad day with the bike I still learn something. Yesterday my son in law rode the bike and the brake lever broke loose and got stick against the side of the bike. I freed it today and then had to kick the brakes a few times because they got locked. Had other strange noises off and on, so I decided to pull the wheel and see it I could loosen the brakes.
Then I found it. One of my bolts that holds the rear sprocket on got sheered. No telling what other damage it did but I replaced the bolt with a quarter inch one inch long hex head bolt and it fits perfectly. Not only that but the bent coaster brake clears the hexhead just fine. At least it did on the test ride. |
