Last week on ebay I actually found a new cassette for the 1979 Shimano uniglide hub and cogs. I just used my spacers, 3 screws and it is amazing. PGMikeT
The ones that wobbled in my doors had no such luck. They were cursed machines with steel-wheels. I took a few down to the frame - cleaned everything and repacked/adjusted all the bearings - adjusted everything absolutely perfect as it could be, and their owners were still stuck in the road because the Slowgun was glued to the spot!
I never saw any of them that cost more than around $300 though. Perhaps any upper-tier Slowgun was good. According to your testimony - they exist. I'd love to get a chance to take a look & ride on one of these.
Thanks for the picture!
