Finally riding a big boys bike
Hi all, my Floating Hub on my Miss America was shaking, so I took it apart. Then I found out the bearings were fine, but the Races have grooves in them from 71 years of wear.
How can I fill those grooves and keep the integrity of the races?
It's been suggested that I buy another hub and use it, but if I do, there's no guarantee that the "new" hub won't have the same problem. Plus it's a shame to waste a large and unusual hub like that just because of grooved races.
Can the groove be filled by welding into the groove, and then carefully grind/sand the excess off? Seems like it should be machined to make it right, but seems like an even more costly adventure.
What do you suggest?
