Happy BDAY Mia! She is 3 months old today.
With a 2 mm allen wrench I pulled the 3 bolts holding the cassette together. This let me take it apart & get to the individual spacers & cogs.
Then I chucked up some 3 inch aluminum round stock into the lathe. I first bored it to fit over a freehub body. I then roughed it out to the general outside diameter I wanted. Had to remove quite a bit of stock. Then I tapered it so I had more surface area @ the cog less on the outside. I cut that piece off & slide it on to the freehub body with the cog & measured to see how big to make my other spacer.
Then some quick assembly and presto chango I have a one speed freehub body. Cool what you can do with a couple hours & a little know how. I'm going to try & get it built up this week so I can take it out for a spin this weekend.
Would that be the time you and I were a Buesick?
ReplyDeleteMan, what to do with all of those useless talents. Damn, you are handy.
That's purdy. Where do you work Scott. Mia looks just like you.

ReplyDeleteGreg yes that was the time. Guess its technically been a ss since then, since that's how I got it out.
