understanding the rear sprocket
I just now disassembled the rear sprocket of my old
Crescent model. On one of the parts, it says "Made in Germany". Here are two photos: http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/bike/sprocket1.jpg http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573/bike/sprocket2.jpg I just thought of a pleasant and interesting game: What are the names of the parts? What are their properties and purposes? What tools/substances are involved in repair and maintenance? And what is the conventional wisdom of do and don't? Hit me -- underground experts united |

Hit me Standard German coaster brake (can't read brake arm). Komet, Centrix, Durex, Torpedo all similar design and small parts interchange. You probably don't have the lockring wrench: http://www.yellowjersey.org/photosfr...t/cbwrench.jpg aside from that, normal tools. Set bearings to a slight trace of play at the rim.

You probably don't have the lockring wrench: http://www.yellowjersey.org/photosfr...t/cbwrench.jpg I don't have that. I got the piece of advice in another thread I should get a cone wrench for the cones on the front wheel axle. What I understand a cone wrench is an ordinary fixed-size wrench (block key), only instead of perhaps 7 mm it is ~2 mm so it can be fixed on a cone. Your tools look somewhat like that, or are they yet another tool? Anyway, I looked for a cone wrench at Clas Ohlson, which is the prefered place for cheap-but-good Chinese tools in Sweden. They had block keys of all sizes, but all were too thick to serve as cone wrenches. I didn't know of lockring wrenches until now, so I didn't ask. -- underground experts united |

It's probably easier to get a cone wrench from a bicycle tool seller - Park Tools, for example. I've found them in conventional tool shops but usually in a big box marked "One piece, One dollar" :-) -- Cheers, John B. |

When I assembled the sprocket I read - indeed, on the brake arm - "Torpedo", so you're absolutely right! I didn't know exactly what to do but I put some fat on the ball bearings as well as a very thin layer on everything else, and put everything together as a kid would with LEGO.
