Tonight I tried to get my rear hub to work, with no success. It's a New Departure Model D. It was not working when I received it. I tore it apart, cleaned it and lubed it. Reassembled and it's not working. I have never worked on a hub before, so I might be missing something very obvious...

I did not mean for my build thread to turn into an auction or sale. As previously mentioned, frame, fork and tank are going to 55tbird. Thanks to all those who expressed interest in any of my build parts. Hope to get back to my build soon.
Re: DILLIGAF Hiawatha Arrow

Re: DILLIGAF Hiawatha Arrow

Re: DILLIGAF build
