THANKS, THANKS, THANKS! Had remembered adjustable cone on left. But had forgotten NO locknut. AGH... Of course the adjustable was on the right too. Tomorrow get the loose fixed cone down all the way. Mount the new tires. Oil a little. And finally be able to take a ride! Raleigh 20" folder, IGH stamped 73 10.

Grease the axle before threading on the cone, so that the cone threads will be protected from corrosion. My rule of thumb is that every, or at least every important, threaded connection on a bicycle should have grease, thread locker or oil. Anything that is tightened hard, such as brake mounting screws, seat post clamp screws, saddle clamp screws, needs the lubrication. Brake mounting screws usually get thread locker because you really don't want them loosening. All the other hard tightened screws should be greased. Medium tightened screws that you don't want to loosen, such as bottle cage, fender and rack mount screws get thread locker. Light duty screws such as bell clamps can get a drop of oil or be left dry. Anything that goes in a hub, pedal, bottom bracket or headset gets a light coat of grease. One exception is freewheel pawls. Grease may get too stiff in cold weather for them, so either a low temperature, light grease, or medium oil. Grease, etc. serves two important purposes. 1. Lubrication. Unlubricated screws can not be tightened properly. Friction defeats the tightening action. Lubrication also helps prevent galling that can destroy threads. 2. Corrosion prevention. Trying to maintain any machine in which the threads have corroded is a painful, and sometimes impossible task.

Particularly for screws that thread into the frame, such as bottle cage, fender and rack mounts, I try to use stainless steel screws as well as grease or thread locker. I really don't want a rusty screw to ruin a frame. In the US, you can order SS screws from McMaster Carr at a pretty reasonable price. 5 and 6 mm are the most common sizes for frame mounted stuff on modern bikes.

RJ, or someone else, can you explain a little bit about that oil clip on the front hub on these older 3 speed bikes? Was oil something that used to be used but was abandoned due to better greases today? I can't find much on this subject. Thank you RJ for doing a great job! Please don't change a thing as you become increasingly popular.

I know that for Sturmey Archer rear hubs, the amount of oil that was recommended generally decreased as the amount of grease increased, I think the truth is that oil lubrication is better, but needs to be done more frequently and the lost efficiency from grease was worth it for stopping complaints from customers who had failed to maintain their bikes. I don't use basic front hubs like the one here, but the Dynohub had an oil hole from 1946 until around 1960 when it disappeared

Thanks RJ, very useful indeed. I seem to have many difficulties to expand the forks to remove the front wheel, often i get my fingers badly pinched between wheel & spokes. I don't want to believe it's because am getting a bit old , do you have any tips tricks to facilitate this bit. Thanks in advance.

My old Hercules has this same setup for its front wheel hub. Do you know where I can buy parts for it? The axle for some reason is not straight. I believe this is what is causing my front whee to be too close to one fork.

I overhauled my front wheel on my 1970-ish Peugeot and there were 12 small bearing on each side, I saw however that they didn't line up well. Like they stacked slightly in a wonky line around the groove. Also the wheel does not turn very smoothly. Is the size of the bearings incorrect, from maybe a previous owners overhaul, or what could be the issue?
@RJTheBikeGuy
8 жыл бұрын
+ingemanssoNn They could be the wrong bearings. It's common for front wheels to have ten 3/16" bearings on each side. And rear wheels to have nine 1/4" bearings on each side. But doubtless there are exceptions.

great video. thanks! but i can't remove the adjustable cone by hand. it is too tight. and when i try using some pliers to hold the other end and using a wrench on the adjustable side, it keeps turning. i can't hold it tight enough to loosen it. this item i purchased off of ebay, it is NOS and does not have any previous signs of installation/spoke marks. what to do? thanks
