A friend of mine just bought a beat of the bay, it came with alloy hub tuffs that were "recently regreased" and dead good. FIRST GO
the rear hub exploded. he has looked at axle/hub kits but just sent me pics of the freewheel and hub, there is no thread on either, I know fook all about old skyways so 2 questions, what is it and how does he fix it
All opinions, suggestions encouraged and welcome
And Graham, he does not want to get some new spoked wheels

It might be worth dismantling an old shimano cassette road hub to see if any of the internals like bearings, pawls, etc can be swapped over. If not, Dr Skyway might still have some replacement hubs, drill out the old one and screw in the new. I'd try the resto method first and see if it can be salvaged

woodchipper, followed by purchase of metal wheels
or
find a replacement coaster hub?

Thanks for response guys, especially 94 performer for introducing me to forum.
First bike in 22 years & I pick one with a duff, rare hub!! Not done half a pedals worth yet!! At least I'll live another few days.
I will pm you Hutchman if that's ok.
