Wheel maintenance II






This is a series of photographs






















of the internal gubbins of my Potters Equipment wheel, pre- and post-dismantled. I am indebted to my Uncle, who is always willing to advise and turn up in chic (and oh so clean) overalls to help with the latest plan and also 'Geoff-down-the-lane', who with his extensive experience servicing a range of ancient motorbikes (BMWs and Royal Enfields) provided sage advice and the new friction wheel, made from some super modern material used in car brakes.
I basically unbolted the shaft (attaching the friction wheel to the motor) and the whole mechanism could be pulled out of the arm which swings the friction wheel under the flywheel (and therefore alters the speed of the wheel head) and the shaft could be slid out from the base of the flywheel. More in post III.
