Bianco2564 67 Posted February 19 Author Share Posted February 19 Managed to get into the garage and restart work on the Honda. Got the rear wheel out, stripped all the spokes out and cleaned up the hub and brake back plate. The cush rubbers are shot so went to David Silver thinking they were unique to the SS and then realised they are the same as a CG125. Quick scan on ebay and got a set for £10 less than DS. New rim tape, inner tubes and tyres planned. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bianco2564 67 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Got the old bushes out, cut around the outside of the rubber then sliced the steel case with a Dremel or in my case the Aldi cheapo equivalent. Ordered tyres, tubes and rim tapes all off ebay. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bianco2564 67 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Painted the rear hub and brake back plate. New front tyre arrived, went for an age correct ribbed front, hate seeing modern tyres on classic machines. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fastbob 395 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) I think I would have put the Cush drives in first and then masked them off . I use coins to mask circular things . Great work though . Edited February 22 by fastbob Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bianco2564 67 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Bushes arrived yesterday so took the parts to work today. Hub in the oven at 50 deg C for an hour and used our big arbor press to shove the bushes in, bottoming them out using a socket. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bianco2564 67 Posted February 26 Author Share Posted February 26 Put the wheel together this afternoon, just got to tension and true it up. Got a frowny face off OH for doing this on the dining table. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
linuxrob 40 Posted Sunday at 15:50 Share Posted Sunday at 15:50 Need a steady table for a good picture. Got a look for this too. Headed the headlight unit in the oven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bianco2564 67 Posted Sunday at 17:11 Author Share Posted Sunday at 17:11 @linuxrob lol, I got busted years ago by boiling a chain in grease in a tin on the cooker while OH was out. Although I cleared up, the smell of the grease gave me away. Finished the rear wheel today, pretty happy with the run out ,around 1mm in both directions, manual says 3mm max which seems a lot to me. Ground the ends off the protruding spokes, fitted new tube tape and reassembled the brake. New tyre should be here tomorrow. Once the rear is back together, I'll take the front back out, paint the hub and fit the new tyre. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
