Brandy Truffle:
In the words of Alan partridge... Aha... looks like the pic i posted does come from the coaster brake, but it was clipped to the outside of an old normal large flange hub... like this
(not my picture btw)


Confused.com...   ;D  Would love to know for def what these were though.

Yep I think Paul's right ( :daumenhoch: )

I've seen those before also, and I think they sometimes also had a wee spud sticking out from the underside to locate in the oil hole and stop it creeping about the hub body.

there is a small hole near the bearing too, this is to clean the hub. you squeeze oil in through the small hole and it comes out through the centre under that cover with all the dust and shit. This is what a road bike old fella told me in holland where i used to get campy and shimano stuff from. he had the proper oil can for it and even demonstrated. :LolLolLolLol: old school roadbike bloke. he had so much campy stuff. never seen so much. the oil went in and loosened old grease or dirty grease. He said they used to pump oil through with the hub spinning and then grease. This cleaned the dusty grease without dismanteling the whole hub. it also was used just to loosen grease after long runs. God idea? give me a sealed bearing anyday.
