The "Flying Cubans" Matt and Billy (no they're not really Cuban) took to the Flat Track this weekend in Upstate NY to try their hand at Flat Trackin' Panheads! Matt rode his bobbed "60 up there, stripped it and ran it. Billy brought Marty's '50 TT Pan and ran that. I couldn't make it up there to see the boys run but I did steal some pictures from our buddy John's Facebook page...

WLDR Hub Scrub...


The front wheel off my WLDR,,,Popped the Star...

Not looking too bad...

Crusty from the beach and years of dirt track...

Innards looking good!

Greasy goodness....

Clean wipe...

Rinse,wipe and grease...

Greased and reassembled...

Re-starred...

It was time to take apart the wheels on my flat track bike to check for sand and salt damage from the beach racing last year. Started with the front wheel. The hub, bearings and sleeve were in fine shape and there was no sign of sand or salt! 
I simply rinsed, wiped and re-greased everything then reassembled. 
I still have to do the rear wheel which looks a bit crustier...

Rear hub...
