Finally riding a big boys bike
Picked up this nice '60 Corvette, looks like it will go great with the '59 3-speed I found last year.
The 2-speed hub seems to be out of adjustment. If I pedal it on the stand, the wheel runs in low gear with the lever AWAY from the bars. When I click the lever TOWARDS the bars and pedal, it doesn't engage 1:1 but spins like it's in neutral. If I pull the cable a little tighter at the bellcrank, then 1:1 engages. I figure I could just try tightening the cable barrel till it catches, but I have read that the initial adjustment on these can be very finicky and they work fine if you just follow the adjustment directions. I was hoping to find those directions online, but the site I used to go to for this stuff (something that had trfindley in the address?) seems to have changed. Anyone have a good link?
thanks!
