I have the opportunity to pick up a a NOS Shimano 7 speed hub and shifter fairly inexpensively--but it's a coaster brake model. I'm personally not real fond of...
Hi John, Wish I could help you, but I just don't know. I do know that lots of folks over at the Kogswell group, http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/KOG/ are...
I'm pretty sure the coaster brakes are internal rather than attached externally like some roller brakes. So you'd need to take the hub apart and at the least...
I ran across this site looking for an online diagram of a nexus 7 (didn't find a diagram) Anyway, It's funny/sad/ aggravating. The "expert" claims to have...
... I have used that model -- it's on my dad's Bridgestone Blouson. I'm pretty sure the brake is integral to the hub, but don't fret too much, it's not that...
... I'll second Fred's recommendation and advice. I assume the coaster brake is integral to the hub, however my wife has been really pleased with the brake's...
... Thanks Forbes--I guess I'll use it as a coaster. I rode a Nexus/coaster a while back and had a hard time with it--but it might have been the geometry of...
I found the parts book I have, and unfortunately everything is older than Nexus 7. I do have parts breakdowns for Nexus4 and most anything Shimano made...

Thanks very much Dave for your tips and help. See my comments scattered below. ... Yes, that's correct-- this older Cinelli 1A stem (bought new in 1983) has...
... I think Rick that the round, tapered "nut" that gets drawn up into the split-end quill of the Cinelli 1A stem is steel rather than aluminum. But I'll check...
... This would raise a red flag in my book. Any washer of soft material used as a washer will crush leaving the bolt loose. Steel washer, yes, but not a brass...
All really good advice from everyone else. Most bulges on a steerer should be findable from the outside. Just check with a straightedge held along the steerer...
Quill stems are still available. If you have a bike co-op type deal where you live, that would be a great place to look, or an older bike shop's 'boneyard'. I...
