I"m working on a Raleigh Space Rider at the moment. Almost finished except the 3 speed S/A hub won't shift. The chain that goes into the axle doesn't move at all. Short of disassembling the hub is there any way recommended to free up the shifting chain.
I thought I might flood the hub with penetrating oil then flush with alcohol or acetone and refill with oil.
Will this work or make matters worse?
