I have a set of 1975 Hi-E hubs that two holes broke out on the drive side flange of the rear hub. I was able to make a new part that works like new using 7075 aluminum. I'm sure it will last the rest of my riding years |

I couldn't get the photos on with the text. The part is press fit onto the shell and the bearing is pressed in on the other side. The axle end caps are pressed on also. I can remember if the bearings were pressed onto the axle or not. I don't think so. Phil Wood still makes a lot of items and is one place you can still get some French, Swiss, and Italian threaded parts that you can't find anywhere else.

开云体育Nice job , so is everyone using sealed bearings in their wheels & bottom bracket these days ? A bud of mine was looking at buying Phil Wood many years back but I think something happened with his " partners " that caused the deal to go south . They have such a niche product I'm real glad to see that they are still around . IIRC they only had their product in hi-end bike shops . thanks animal On 3/26/24 2:25 PM, paul mcclintic via

Most of the parts on better bikes have sealed bearings in just about everything, including pedals and derailleur pulleys. The one thing on my 2006 Trek Madona that doesn't are the brake calipers, they have loose ball bearings. |
开云体育Same deal applies.? “Better” bikes have actual sealed bearings (aka cartridge), the rest have the old school cup & cone assembly.? These days most of them at least have caged balls (probably speeds up assembly) rather than the loose balls where you always lose one. ? Often you’ll have both, a bearing at the top & race at the bottom. ? Wheels can be either bearing or cup & cone, mostly the latter. ? I remain unconvinced bearings are better than cup & cone, I will admit they’re less fiddly to service though. ? Tony ? ? From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of mike allen

"I remain unconvinced bearings are better than cup & cone, I will admit they’re less fiddly to service though." Actually, I wouldn't say "less fiddly" -- they never need service at all. My 1972 Norton Commando came with sealed headset bearings, but ONLY the headset bearings. All the other ones in the bike needed to be greased (though there are sealed bearings available for them nowadays). Mike Taglieri? On Wed, Mar 27, 2024, 1:30 AM Tony Smith <ajsmith1968@...> wrote:

I can second Roy's retaining compound recommendation. I bought that after some tips for some bench sander rollers I made, and had to use it for something else recently which I foolishly thought I needed to disassemble afterward (forget doing that). Mine is actually the 680. Those Loctite products are weird. They actually dry from a lack of air, unlike every other adhesive that needs it. If you squeeze some out on the table, it'll sit there forever.
