Title: Oh no......what have i done?
Post by: munners on July 03, 2008, 09:37 AM
I have just took apart a suntour coaster hub off of a tuff 2 so that i can bleach the wheel.

I am dreading putting it back together!!!

Can i buy a new suntour coaster or what other makes will do the job?

Nick ;)

It's not as complicated as it looks.  Clean everything with white spirit or similar then regrease all the bearings etc. and get rebuilding :daumenhoch:

If i am going through the hassle of bleaching the wheel i reckon i should just try and purchase a NOS one now as it will look crap if i use this rusty old axle.

Will i find one? ;)  Any other makes....ACS?

Sounds good!!! Have you got a picy of it as i have been checking on here and have noticed that some of the Suntour ones have the Skyway flange already attached. I wouldnt want to drill the existing flanges out and then have bolted on ones.

Sorry to be a pain mate but i would love to have a look at yours. ;)
