skyway cassette repair

(1/14) > >>

stevepeanut:
I rode my new build today, for all of 5 meters, and my chain started spinning the rear chainwheel around but I got no drive to the rear wheel. I took the rear whee to a local cycle shop and asked for a new freewheel. 5 minutes later they came back and said, it does not have a freewheel its a cassette type, and he mentioned the parts to repair it have probaby never been available since the wheels were made.

Does anyone know if its possible for a repair on this, or should I look for a new pair of wheels?

boofy44:
has the clip that holds it on fell off.

bobbbbsy:
you mean coaster brake ? bike shops know fook all. get some pics up !

TwoBobRob:
If it's a new new stylee one with an actual modern cassette hub (9tooth ish), then chances are it's over greased.

Cassette hubs need to be spotlessly clean with just a couple of drops of light oil in there - that's why all new school bikes are so fcuking noisy....

stevepeanut:
The big circlip is still in place, I have no idea if this is a coaster brake, I don't think it is (but can't be certain), it doesn't have a bit of metal hanging off to bolt to the frame like coaster brakes that I have seen.

The wheels are a pair of alloy hubbed tuff 2s, I will put a pic up in the morning.
