Rear Wheel Axle Came Out.
The rear axle (term?) of my bike came out or broke, not sure!

A decent bike shop can see what threading and length and sell ya a new one. |

You can possibly buy a new axle but from your pictures, you need a new chain and gear cluster as well, the sprocket teeth being severely worn to a larger chain pitch diameter by a worn out chain. all advice welcome, The suggestion in other respones to take the bicycle to a shop, probably arises form your question, in which you seem to be unfamiliar with such repairs. thanks in advance! "thanks" is enough. It's like those road warnings that add "AHEAD" at the bottom of "SLIDE AREA" sign. Where else? Jobst Brandt |

the complete unit costs about $10: axle/cones/nuts
get new bearings: $2? add blue or red locktite for the cluster side nuts and cones measure the length of the original axle and the orginal cluster side cone's inside edge you need axle outside the cluster to fit the frame and then axle nut on, right? and glue the new cone in the same place on the new axle. let it set up overnight then reassemble. castrol marine grease from walmart works good on dirt bikes examine the inside hubs for wear |

Strange bike teck question.
I suspect somebody has attempted this at some time before, or there will be someone curious enough to try it that has more parts ready on hand than I do. I want to install a rear wheel axle in a bottom bracket for a strange project I'm working on. I have a 14mm BMX axle and cones, and a complete bottom bracket (three peice cotterless). I want to put the cones on the axle backwards to emulate the crank axle, and mount it in the bottom bracket. The bottom bracket ball set (caged) is too small for the job. I can go caged or free ball. What size balls do I need, and what would they be used on? Would like to stay with relatively normal "bike shop" parts One of my past projects is at : http://www.snyder.on.ca/pages/QuadBike.JPG and http://www.snyder.on.ca/pages/Intermediate%20drive.JPG another: http://www.snyder.on.ca/pages/pretty%20in%20blue.JPG and http://www.snyder.on.ca/pages/chain%20tensioner.JPG and http://www.snyder.on.ca/pages/100_1555.JPG I've also got a tandem 'bent with a 96" wheelbase on the go -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Strange bike teck question.
I don't think there is an easy solution using those pieces.
If you can find a cartridge bottom bracket that uses standard sealed bearings you might be able to knock them out and replace them with a bearing of the same OD and thickness, but with the ID a suitable size to work with the axle. You might have to visit a bearing supplier rather than a bicycle store to find them. Marcus |

Will be more than adequate for the job at hand. (loose balls - won't work caged) -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |
