Been meaning to get back in here for a week.? :( So, I see the way oil recommended over the LPS-3 here? Is there a particular #4 I can try in small quantity (sub-30 dollar range)? I've got an Amazon

Can ya imagine just how stoked we would have been to have youtube the first time we openend up a Sturmey-Archer Hum or a gear cluster . A lot less lost ball bearings that are still lost today . animal

I machined a custom Sturmey-Archer Hub Shell back in the day! I also produced for a local hardware store custom axle nuts for S-A hub Axles!

I have preferred loose over caged bearing due to easier cleaning and you can have more bearings. The cartridge bearings are great as long as they are well seated. If they are not they can trash some

"I remain unconvinced bearings are better than cup & cone, I will admit they’re less fiddly to service though." Actually, I wouldn't say "less fiddly" -- they never need service at all. My 1972

Same deal applies. “Better” bikes have actual sealed bearings (aka cartridge), the rest have the old school cup & cone assembly. These days most of them at least have caged balls (probably speeds

How bout head sets ? animal

Most of the parts on better bikes have sealed bearings in just about everything, including pedals and derailleur pulleys. The one thing on my 2006 Trek Madona that doesn't are the brake calipers, they

Nice job , so is everyone using sealed bearings in their wheels & bottom bracket these days ? A bud of mine was looking at buying Phil Wood many years back but I think something happened with his "

I couldn't get the photos on with the text. The part is press fit onto the shell and the bearing is pressed in on the other side. The axle end caps are pressed on also. I can remember if the bearings

So? did? ya make the whole flange ? Any pic's? ? Is Phil Wood still out there making hubs & bottom brackets ? They were too expensive for me back then animal

I have a set of 1975 Hi-E hubs that two holes broke out on the drive side flange of the rear hub. I was able to make a new part that works like new using 7075 aluminum. I'm sure it will last the rest

Two sizes for pedal threads. One for kids bikes, one for adults. Imperial threads, of course, and the difference between them is bugger all (1/16”) so I’m not entirely sure what the point was. And

Back in the day if yer bike came with Mafac brakes it also came with a little tool set maybe the size of a pack of regular cigs . That little tool kit & Crescent wrench were the only tools some bikes

At least today the pedels all use the same thread. But so much else is totally custom. Like the tapered-head titanium cap screws. One newish innovation is that all the screws on my bike are marked

Another thought is maybe by making a new worm & gear ya could end up with a more user friendly thread pitch that could make the math easier ? animal

Back when I was still into bikes & Campagnolo ruled everyone had to use different threads in their bottom brackets & pedals . I had/have a Set of TA cranks & chain wheels & the threads were different

The thing about bicycle parts is that they use a lot of non-common threads and gear profiles and screws with custom head shapes, not to mention exotic metals and tempering. for example, you can look

Yes a photo helps Dave
