skyway cassette repair
oldtired:
looks like the only thing wrong is the teeth/lugs have worn out on the cog, don't bash the cassette bit about you'll probs struggle to get parts, shimano hubs from early 80's had a similar cassette dx hubs should just be a case of finding a drive cog that fits with the least amount of play as possible , maybe try road bike shops, one of the mutispeed gears should fit, don't let em fob you off with "you won't get owt to fit that" and tell em your not bonkers and you know it were made years ago :LolLolLolLol:
looks like one of these a few pics down :daumenhoch: don't destroy it not many about :daumenhoch:
worst case if you can't source a new cog ( probs be from the US ) assuming the cassette is working ok, you can have the cog welded to the cassette , skilled welder can do it quick enough to stop any heat problems, have seen the shimano ones welded like this , the spring clip that holds the cog on were shite like on a coaster just work loose, then the cog strips out like yours, used to weld my coaster cogs on before even using em :daumenhoch:

I have learned some interesting things from your link, my wheels are '79-'81 tuff 2s buy the looks of it. I really wanted to keep early alloy hubbed tuffs on my Haro, but from your article, skyway changed to the sealed bearings in 1985. My Haro is 1988, so the sealed bearing type is era correct for my bike. If I can't fix it I will sell them on and buy some other ones, if I could get a whole suntour coaster set up with hubs that would also be an option.
