Hi guys, new to the forum,
I'm working on my first bike build today. I got the 66cc kit from BGF on Ebay. Got the engine mounted, and after much frustration have got the sprocket on the rear tire. But I have a question.
The bike is a 26" Beach cruiser with coaster brake.
When I took the arm off my brake hub, I also removed the small dust cover, figuring I'd grind down the edges and get it to fit after putting on the sprocket. Anyway, When I try to put the hub back together, it seems like there's a lot more space than there used to be sticking out. Maybe an 1/4 inch or so. The bearings still sit right, but I just remember the brake being inside more when I took it apart. This is shimano CB-E110 hub, and its brand new, with maybe 2-3 miles on it. I just think the brakes out to far, even thought i hand tightened it, and never even played with adjusting anything else on the hub.
I can take post a video on youtube tomorrow. If anyone knows if i'm doing something wrong, please tell me. I'm anxious to get this thing running.
