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?

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?

they come up now and again on US ebay. I bleached mine and restored the coaster and it cleaned up great. give it a go first Nick

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. ;)
