re: #219 Dr Lizardo

Hi, Wrenchwench…..do you know where I can get my hands on a cheap rear-wheel hub, for a single-speed bike w/coaster brake?

It’s a 26-inch wheel with 36 spokes total.

Those should be a dime a dozen, ie not worth the shipping for me to send you one of mine. Look for a bent wheel or an abandoned bike to salvage one from. Could be a kid sized bike, as long as the spoke count is right.

The one on your ‘new’ bike couldn’t be fixed? That was my first-ever bike mechanic deed, overhauling one of those. Bought the bike for $2.50, bought the book for $10.
