Need help
i have a old style shore cruising bike with the fixed gear in the back as a break. my brother took it apart to clean out the rear hub and now he has no idea how to set it back up. he set it up but it seems like the brakes are on the whole time. does anyone have pictures of how one of the bikes rear hubs are set up? thanks

If it had a break on it, don't ride it.
Brakes will allow a bike to stop.
You probably have a bearing or both upside down and the comes too tight.

'lo there. what you have there is a costerbrake hub. If you've never repaired them before you would save a lot of time and suffering by getting a used replacement. There a dime a dozen, cheap or free.
