rear hub fix
KXcam22:
It is my experience that hubs with broken sprocket tangs don't live very long. Even loose bolts are often enough to kill them. I use grade 8 bolts, red loctite, super-torque and sacrifice a few chickens when I do mine up. I think the secret is in the chickens. Cam.

i knew i was going to get flak this is only needed to last 10 hours and as soon as i got money i will get a new hub even my shop was amazed at how strong it is
cutting torch:
I like it! That's the kind of backyard fix I would do in a pinch.

K5,
That actually a good macgyver fix, but for an emergency and not general riding. We're not giving you flak, just showing concern from members who may have done similar and had it not go so well (and have the scars to prove it). Cam.
