So every single part of the bike is apart finally. Rear hub took a little time.
So I am not very smart on brakes, particularly drum brakes. The hub has an inner layer that the pads press into. What is the material and should I be careful about how I clean it up?
Also for fun, here is my current pile of stuff I need to haul to the dump:
Not everything there is going but most of it. Those wheels are a very sharp rolling tetanus risk.
Looking at this picture reminded me of another question. If the disc brake measures out okay, what are the chances that it can be resurfaced? Just now thinking about this so probably need to do some more searching around here. Its very old but relative to the rest of the bike can possibly be salvaged.
I am getting so very close to starting to restore the bike. Trying to decide if I want to paint the hubs or just clean them up and then I am going to lace the spokes and drop them off to get the tubes and tires put in.
Timing is perfect, sweated through the late summer getting this rust bucket apart and I can take my time during the winter to get this back together.
