Dan6061 Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Evening all, Just took my freewheel off my hub, ready for my 12t cog to go on it. As the freewheel came off, so did a lot of swarf... I've been looking at pictures of other rear hubs, and the thread on them looks quite flat. And on my hub now, it's flat, but still has a 'groove' in it. Would the cog be able to go on alright? I also have some Loctite if that'll help... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaRtZ Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 Im guessing its FUBAR but you could try it I guess. And if it doesn't go on, its FUBAR anyway so meh, looks like you got nothing to lose Loctite will probably do naff all if its as bad as im imaginining in my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 (edited) If it screws on ok, it should ride ok.Don't bother with locktite in any way shape of form. Edited December 10, 2005 by JT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat hudson Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 if it does, get ready to buy a new hub. but i guess(as a quickfix) you could take it off again and then coat the threads with araldite then screw it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather not araldite a new cog onto it. Because then it'd be stuck on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted December 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 Topic Closed. Got all my lovely stuff today, and the cog went on fine. Nice and tight. Just gotta wait for my longer BB to come, and my Zona is complete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 If it screws on ok, it should ride ok. Never had the joy of stripping a hub then JT? My hub ages ago stripped whilst I was riding. Just went to kick a gap, and it sorta went funny. Felt like I'd raped the freewheel. Stamped down on the pedal when I was off my bike to see if the freewheel shell just span, but the whole freewheel did.Basically, try screwing it on. Take your bike outside, and standing by your bike, just stamp on the leading pedal really hard. If it slips, you're screwed. If not, you're not. Glue or whatever probably won't really help. First off, it'll be a whore to get on with any epoxy resin or whatever on there, but also it just won't be able to do much to stop it spinning really. Not to mention if you have a problem with it you won't be able to get it off.But yeah, just bosh it on and see if it spins when you mash the pedal down, I guess...
