skyway cassette repair
not johndub71:
The teeth inside the cassette look worn. I'd check them out before assemble, because it could be a case that the pawls dont catch on em how they should. Clean off any burrs on the inside with a file and restructure.

that might make sense, cos it grips then slips, over and over again

its like that sometimes, when I used to mess around with old suzukis, someone figured out the clutch baskets off one engine fitted another to make the clutch better, I told a bike breaker and he had thrown a pile of them in the bin

Just got the cassette and had a proper look at the bit you mentioned. They are very worn indeed, the teeth look like they have big marks and chips in them. Still unsure what to do, I would imagine that if I strip and rebuild it, it might work, but for how long? This bike was built purely to ride at the meets up and down the country, and it would be a bad situation if I took it far to a meet and it failed on me again. I know someone who has a alloy hub skyway wheel with the screw on freewheel set up, so getting that and putting it into my wheel might be the best option.
