You would think that this innocent looking wheel would be easy to rebuild, I mean it is only a 20" wheel with a coaster brake right?
Then I took it apart and found all this inside. Turns out the wheel is a 2 speed kickback hub from 1966 made for Schwinn by the company Bendix.
Finally the drive side is complete.
All these bits go in to the left side of the hub.
If I had known better this is what it would have looked like when I took it apart. I have to admit it was more fun taking the whole thing apart.
And back to the finished product.
This is by far the most fun I have had on a repair in a long time, how many times do you get to take apart a 2 speed kick back hub, I only wish I took a picture of the bike. The bike is a 1966 Schwinn Stingray it was awesome.
