Bike from the Dead
I live for the CABE
I'm almost done with my Rat Rod Bikes Build Off entry, Shoestring, and I've just run into a number of problems with the coaster brake. Last night, I was mocking up the chain and testing the coaster brake, when the coaster brake started acting up. It started making this unpleasant noise, like I didn't have enough grease in the bearings, plus the hub seems to have spun itself apart a bit, even though a friend and I fine-tuned it earlier yesterday. The rear wheel also doesn't want to spin very well, especially compared to my front wheel. Anyone know what's wrong, and what I can do to fix it? Bear in mind, this is my second ever coaster brake rebuild, and my first Komet Super hub rebuild. I might need more explaining and visual aid than the more seasoned builders here. Also, I need to get this problem solved before Tuesday next week, because that's when the Build Off, and my qualification for voting, ends.
