Finally riding a big boys bike
Picked up this killer Elgin at the Springfield, Ohio flea market. Curious what the aluminum fender might've been off of.

Trying to get the thing apart without ruining something. Tried looking on old posts on here but none seem to show how it comes apart.

It's a very rarely seen hub, so I wouldn't expect a rush of responses. Post up the close up pics you posted on FB. Hopefully someone here can help and might even have an exploded view of it's internals and service/adjustment instructions.

Muscleman. Last version they made. Very toasty.

They realized the New Departure 2 speed could not be beat, and stopped production.

It’s the cable actuated type of Musselman two speed.
It works the same as the lever type, except that it uses a cable that is in constant tension.
Kind of like a push/pull type action.
I’ve got the parts and pieces of one of those units around here somewhere.
Pretty sure I got it from Catfish about 10 years ago.

Only one I've ever worked on was the suicide shifter version on a Racycle....probably 25 years ago. And I think that was just to reattach and adjust the shifter fork/linkage. Cool piece!
I would be very delicate with what looks to be a brittle spring and cable. Might be hard to find factory replacements.
