I just recently purchased a 1977 Schwinn Tricycle and I have grand plans to restore and modify it.
I was hoping that someone may be able to point me in the right direction for finding information on servicing and restoring some of the more complex parts of this fine machine? (For instance an internal three speed hub and a center drive axle rear end with a working differential)
I am also hoping to find a way to remove the rear wheels so that I can have new modern rims laced onto the hollow hubs for some more modern wider road tires. At present moment I cannot tell if the pins that are holding them on are friction set or if they are actually threaded on and use a torx head.
Any advice and or direction etc that can be given will be most appreciated!
