MOPED ARMY

Minarelli....excuse me. If it’s still wrong, then screw you autocorrect.

Never seen a motron top tank before? Looks more like a safari or something

Yup, aftermarket tank. Ugly in the pic, worse in person.

Just want it rolling so I can get it running. Then I’ll decide what I want done with it

Tom the dishwasher built that wheel. Sealed bearing on one side, the wrong axle and the whole inside is damaged or worn out. The brake plate will never lay flat. Most likely a sealed bearing on one side and ball bearings on the other. your call

remove cup, read up on sealed bearing conversion. will need spacers

Yes, I was a bit confused too. Bearing cups on both sides, sealed (open) bearing on the sprocket side and I have no idea what on brake side...just bits and shavings now. There were loose bearing crowns on both sides. Maybe that’s why it went out??

Ordered a 12mm axle, regular and thin nuts, and some sealed bearings. Hopefully I have no problems doing a sealed bearing conversion. Wiki articles look easy enough.

Then I installed the wheel (kinda) and got measurements for the needed spacers that go between brake hub and swing arm, and sprocket and swing arm. Don’t forget to take into account the thin nut size. And in my case, I also used a shim on each side.

Everything all together!

It isn’t gonna stay this way though. PO has some turd of a wheel lock...wheel adjustment bracket...whatever the he’ll it’s called...it just doesn’t work right.

So, I need a new one of those but I need to see if this thing will run first. I’m sure plenty of other parts will need to be ordered too.

Now, for the disclaimer....I really don’t know what I’m doing. I tried to follow some other write-ups and use some common sense. If anyone has anything constructive to say, please do. Don’t be a dick just to be a dick...I get that at work.
