General discussions on Wheelmen topics. / Saddle comparison between Victor and Victory

« on: April 17, 2019, 10:08:44 PM »

As I understand it the Victory was based on the Victor.  While comparing the Victor to the Victory I noticed the saddles were quite different.  The original Victor had horizontal single  coil springs  similar to a Columbia where as the Victory has vertical springs similar to the European design.  I have been told that the Victory seat is actually more comfortable than the Victor design.  I am curious though if it is possible to retrofit a Victor style seat on a Victory.  And if so has anyone reproduced the parts like they have for the Columbia’s.
Thank you in advance.

General discussions on Wheelmen topics. / New Departure Model A Coaster Brake

« on: August 12, 2018, 08:32:25 AM »

Is anyone knowledgeable on the Model A coaster brake.  During the ride in Oberlin I applied standard braking pressure and the hub Loosened up and causing the wheel to wobble and was unable to finish..  Upon examination the cones had backed off.  So I thought there should be a thin locking nut on the cones to prevent this in the future.  That said after looking a numerous diagrams I do not see that ND provided any as manufactured.  So is this a common problem with Model A’s?  I want to ride my 1911 Iver is this correctable or should I replace the hub with a modern coaster brake I  so I can ride with complete confidence?   Inquiring minds need to know.   Thanks in advance.
