Hey guys, first post here, stumbled across the forum while looking for some information on my new to me bike. Picked up a ‘77 S10-S the other day for a steal as a restoration/finally growing up a little and having gears on my bike (been riding bmx and my single speed for years and years now). Initially I was going to swap the 700c wheels from my single speed over, swap the cassette onto those and off I go. Still might down the road, but ran into some spacing issues with both the axle and the brake, and since I plan on doing this on a tight budget, it was cheaper for me to just throw new tires and tubes on the original wheels than to replace the brakes.

Here is my dilemma. When I completely disassembled the rear hub, had everything set out nicely on my work desk in the order they came off for easy reassembly. I usually take pictures but since I had it all set out, I didn’t think to do that. I didn’t plan on my dogs running into my desk and sending parts all over the floor. I was wondering if anyone has any pictures or the diagram of the rear hub so I make sure I get the order of all of the nuts and spacers on correctly.

I appreciate any help, not really looking forward to trying to get the spacing back to where it was, but hey, thats how you learn, then I get to learn about derailleurs and shifters and all sorts of other parts that are foreign to me.

Once you get above ten posts, you can upload pics, or you can upload them to your "gallery" and another member can help with a link. Post a pic of the current state so we can see what kind of hub it is and its parts. Also, search YouTube for "overhaul hub rj the bike guy" -- his videos are very well done (good video/audio, concise instructions) and cover a wide range of standard vintage bike repair.

You'll have a cone and locknut on each side. Measure them to ensure they're both the same lengh. If they are, it doesn't matter which cone and locknut goes on each side. If one is wider, it often goes on the drive side.

If you have a wide spacer, it almost always goes on the drive side.

Now you should just have a few washers left to place. So try to put one on the non drive side (between cone and locknut) and the rest on the drive side. You'll just have to try it to see if that works for the freewheel spacing.

Sequence of washers between cone and locknut doesn't matter. No washers go outside the locknut.

Use two stacks of cd jewel cases to check dish while you're at it. Sheldon can help ya here.

Here you go,


Nice bike but you'll need to upload some pics

Nothing wrong with the 27 inch 120 mm alloy rear wheels that came stock on the Fuji. Panaracer, Schwalbe, Continental, and Michelin all make good 27 inch tires.

In the future just disassemble from the non drive side!

+1 this. And you only need to remove the hardware from one side of the axle. Leave the other side in place and there's no confusion when it comes to reassembly.

If it's the first time I've overhauled the hub, I like to clean/inspect everything and make sure nothing is seized. Moving opposing cones/locknuts independently also helps me adjust a hub.

Thanks for all of the help guys, was able to get it cleaned up, regreased and back together.

A cheap set of tires and tubes were able to get me out on a test ride today. I need to do some research into the derailleur setup and how to make adjustments, it didn’t always want to shift through all of the gears, and it seems like there is a lot of slack in the cable at times. Little steps. As soon as I’m able to I’ll post some pictures of it and the progress I’ve made since then.
