Help wanted with Skyway hub
fuzzynod:
Me and a mate at work are rebuiding a 84 Mongoose for one of the salesmen. It was his son's Who took his own life aged 32 and he wants to pass it on to his Grandson.
We are just cleaning the skyways up and sorting the bearings etc but the freewheel assembly is very tired the teeth on the driver appear o.k but the pawls seem rounded and the spring has lost its tension to keep them pushed out.
Is there some kind of overhaul kit available or maybe some parts.
Perhaps you can tell from the pics what I need.
CD17:
Im not totally sure from the pic's, but that looks like a coaster hub to me, if it is you should be able to get some replacement parts for it.
But I don't know what the first two pic's are, looks like someone has done something to it, a mod or something.

I thought the same Chris, not really sure what an old freewheel tuff looks like as I only have the new ones, and I only ever rode with a coaster bitd, but the new ones have a freewheel which screws on. By the looks of that one Mark the freewheel is part of the hub, Dave or ORB might know a bit more ;)

defo coaster. bendix?
get a new suntour coaster hub.it will sort out multiple probs
billstup:
Never seen that inside a coaster though Phil, has it been converted ? On all the coasters that I`ve seen the cog section has a corkscrew type thread on it that pushes the wedge on to the brake pads inside the hub. I can`t ever remember seeing that type of set-up before ???
