Is my coaster hub damaged?
Hi, I have a Dahon Speed Uno and was in an accident recently. My rim is damaged and i'm wondering if I should replace the rim or just get a new wheel.
I don't have the bike with me right now, but I remember seeing a loose or split ring hanging from the axle. Do you think the hub/axle is also damaged?
I'll try to get better photos once I have recovered but the attached photos are the best photos I have for now. Thanks!
you can see the ring to the right of the chain.

that ring shouldnt be there.
also the deformation of your wheel is huge!
what happened? you got hit by a car? feel off a cliff?

Buying a new wheel could get you a 3 speed coaster-brake.. ..

I was hit by a car, but I can't go in to details. It will be awhile before I can bring it to a shop. I'm just bed ridden and thinking about my bike. lol
Could you recommend a 3 speed coaster brake wheel? Is it something I can purchase or will I need to be piece meal it?
Thanks!

Hope you can recover well and soon from your injuries. Make sure that the bike frame/"rear triangle" and hinge are inspected for structural damage; by the looks of it, you were hit hard. Good luck!

@rayjai - do a Google search,...this way you can locate a company that will ship to your location/country. I'm not sure where you live, so if I link to a seller it's not guaranteed to ship to your destination (I'm in the USA).

Ask your bike shop.. wholesalers have the same wheel building machines as the bike assembly factories.
No, I wont find it for you on Amazon ..
