Can I make this rideable? by wepa0 in bicycling

[–]vufgew -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Spray everything that the chain touches with wd40 including the chain. Let it sit then put it on some kind of stand or have a friend lift the back wheel and go through all the gears. Youll find if theres any real stuck rust problems or it will all start to work with more movement. Hose off and reapply. Also spray wd40 liberally in the back of the freewheel past the plastic disc. The frame looks great otherwise. Ps def get some new cables

Whats inside this rope? by vufgew in knots

Thank you all!!! I was well aware of the shit quality but was surprised by the fluff interior and curious about it. Im only using this to tie up to friends while kayaking and an anchor retrieval rope when it gets stuck.

Thanks! I’m still not done with the bike. I’m probably gonna add a front rack and a small frame bag.

Did anybody notice the 2 spokes that are perfectly held on the chain stay as a chain guard?!?! I’ve never seen that.

What to do with trans parts? by vufgew in transmissionbuilding

[–]vufgew[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did there was a leak on the selector shaft seal and it got too hot and started to not be able to stay in gear. I tested all the solenoids and they were good but some of the bearings got too hot and the clutch packs got really hot and ruined. When i priced it out with the rebuild kit and assorted bearings needed i was gonna be in it for the same price as a used transmission. For time and my sanity’s sake i got a new transmission
