I'm definately in for a wrench party. I have the rear wheel off right now for a tire change and just ordered the o-rings from HDL. The cup and driveshaft look a little tough for my abilities. I could use some help. I'm much better if I can see it done one time by somebody who knows what they are doing. I've changed the rear tire a number of times (115,000 miles), but just put in some new grease and put it back together. This time, because of the board, I thought I would at least try and change the o-rings, etc. I should have the parts from HDL and the tire in a couple of days.
Hey Gary,
We don't need to wait for a full blown wrench party to help you out. Since you have your bike apart, I could meet up with you at your house when your tire comes in and help you out with checking your pinion and u-joint. Drop me an email at
JoeValkIS@Spirit-1100.com and i will send you my phone number.
I will start looking at a good date for a wrench party but it may be into April (mostly to let the weather calm down a little).
Joe
