Man, if it wasn’t for this video I would have never known a spacer was needed between that bearing and the brake plate! Could never figure out why the wheel kept pretty much locking up when I went to tighten the axle nuts real snug. Thank you so much.
Hey do you sell parts by chance? I’ve been looking for a front brake plate for my pinto but cant find any on treats or anywhere online. Running only rear brakes right now.

Always using your videos to help me fix my puch Ive already watched this video for fun now I'm watching it again because you know exactly what you're doing and I need to know exhaust what I'm doing because I ride this thing every day
I’d love to see you take a maxi roller and redo the whole bike from tank to toot with a rebuild, porting. Your bikes are so clean that it’s like working on ferraris compared to what most of us are working on. Like I have a maxi I just tore down to paint with everything in zip lock bags and it’d be really useful to know the things I should do compared to just slapping everything back together. What do I do to the magneto, cables, wiring block, hubs, clutch, ports. All that
been habving trouble with sealed bearings on these Griemca wheels im doing. this video has helped me man. I am having a issue where when i tighten the wheel down in the forks, the wheel is locking up. cant tell if the bearing or the brake pads are binding but i think i need a better and more proper spacer in the middle of the hub between the 2 bearings like you made in this video. anyways, thanks
First tighten it down without the brake plate in there but add some washers to take up the space if it doesn't bind up then the brake plate. if it does bind up then this probably the middle space are not being long enough
@@Corn-ped Yeah but I'm broke after all the shopping, lol. I keep an eye on what's for sale around here, though. The only proper moped I've seen in the last few months was a Vespa Ciao that was complete with extra parts and I still kick myself for not just buying it.
Hey, nice video! Do you know where i can get these 29mm bearings? They are mostly sold out when i look online. If not, can i use a 28mm with a shim or do you recommend sticking to loose ball bearings in my case?
Treatland sells them. Let them know I sent ya! otherwise yeah a 28mm with shim stock works fine. www.treatland.tv/puch-KUSTOM-special-29mm-sealed-wheel-bearing-p/puch-29mm-kustom-bearing.htm
Hey bud, I have found every thing else that I need to restore my Puch Maxi. I'm restoring this bike mechanically. Not polishing it to sell or make it a show piece. I just need to make it ready for the road this summer... This is the last mandatory service I need to do before I rebuild my entire engine in 2000 miles. I bought the bike with 2086 on the clock. Now bearing 2200 it's so damn fun. My question is I can go to my local HF Tools to buy all the tools I need to complete the job but where do you buy the metric pipe at or the equivalent for my wheel spacers? I wanna do this right and not screw it all up. I have an electric moped so I don't haft to rush. Also, do you recommend straight cut gears for the E50 at all? I am more focusing on hill climbing and more performance for the future. So if you could get back to me on my pipe question I would appreciate that a lot. Thanks-W.
take your 12mm axle to the hardware store and stick it in the plumbing pipes until ya find on that fits. Or go to a metal supply store for a more accurate tube.
@@Corn-ped Hey, I bought the sealed bearing conversion kit from treatland. My question is. On the brake plate when you slide the brake down on to the drum. On the old shaft there is a nut there and that is used to hold the brake plate down to the drum. That"s with using the 11MM threaded axle. The threaded axle was for the crappy loose bearings. I saved all my hardware to the bike. I''m just trying to figure out how to keep the brake plate secure on the drum with out sliding off. This is my first moped ever. I'm trying to look for the best info I can find and convert it the easiest way possible but make it safe and reliable. As my health goes down hill from here. I don't feel like taking the rims off every season to re pack it. I would rather cut the head off the snake now and end the issues. Thanks for your time and have a good night and a Merry Christmas.
You do not need a washer on the inside of the fork leg but you should use won between the fork leg in the nuts. You do need to align the brake plate with the fork tabs to hold it in place. I'm using Forks that are too wide for this Hub so I'm going to build an adapter for the disc brake side to fit into the brake slot
Hey I just converted my rear wheel to sealed bearings and wonderd what would happen if you didnt use a spacer in between the bearings because a loose ball bearing axle doesnt have a spacer either.
You need the spacer in the middle. Otherwise when you tighten the axle it will squeeze the bearings inward and ruin them, and your wheel won't turn smoothly.
Whose the one salty dude that gave a thumbs down? He probably just put in a Treats order for new loose bearings lol I'm thinking of doing this with my Batavus GoGo. At least for the rear, to see how it goes
Amazon in Europe has a ton of puch stuff I think you can actually buy the bearing cups if you didnt want to do sealed bearings but Amazon definitely has the 6001r2 sealed bearings
neat trick using washers to figure spacer width. super simple
Yeah i use to try to measure... But this is way easier
the wheel spinning so damn smooth
yeah! soooo smoooth!

What kind of rims are they? Shoot me an email with a photo of the wheels. Cornped@gmail.com
Believe I’ve got the same as you.

I would love to do that. If I do a full rebuild I will film it. I have a lot of random projects at the moment.
With a little bit of knowledge, and few good tools ⚒️ its amazing what can be accomplished .👍🏴

Dude. Thanks a lot. I can use this to fix my rear wheel
Hey thanks for the video, I didn't know they have 29mm bearings. Another well done video, keep em coming.
Thanks!
I want to get another moped so bad. It's been around a decade since I last had a few.
Now is the perfect time. They go a lot cheaper in the winter

Where are you located?
Check out Facebook market place and Craigslist. Thats where I find most of mine.
thanks you sir , that was very helpful to know to make your own spacer*****
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
Hello msr am fan for youre video
29mm Bearings!!! RAD! Good vid dude • Honest²
Yeah dude! 29mm! We have been waiting!
I love your videos so Informative. Do you think you’ll ever do one on disk breaks ?
Maybe... I don't have a disc brake bike in the works. I have had a couple and liked em. What exactly would you like to see in a video?
@@Corn-ped I'd definitely be interested in a disc brake conversion tutorial or series!
@@alexandertroyer Yeah! Ill try to get one done!
Use thick walled aluminium tube. Weight saving.
I need to eat less. Thats the real weight saver.

@@Corn-ped cheers!👍
I’m changing 3/4 wheel bearing and axle to 25mm but 25mm bearings are thinner, couldn’t I just make up wheel spacers to fit ?
absolutely! Make some spacers or use washers.

Does there need to be a washer between the fork legs and the spacer? And does the brake plate need to align with the fork tab to hold it in place?

Great video. Is this the same for a Puch Maxi snowflake wheel?
Its the same process but the bearings are a different size. Puch snowflake wheels use 16101 bearings. You can get them on Amazon or Treatland.tv
@@Corn-ped Great, many thanks. The video is really clear. Much appreciated. 😊
Glad it helped!
Are there any major changes in the process for the rear drive wheel? The bearings and brakes seem more or less the same
It's the same!
How do I get my freewheel gear off, I have tried all types of stuff- help
Need a freewheel tool! You can use a 4 prong bmx one if you Grind off two of the prongs.
oh shiii ... why am I messing with an angle grinder instead of using a pipe cutter. Dumb!! thank you!
Yeah the pipe cutter is great. You. Still gotta do a little clean up, but ita better imo.
can you tell me please for the rear tires
Tell you what about them?
Hey I just converted my rear wheel to sealed bearings and wonderd what would happen if you didnt use a spacer in between the bearings because a loose ball bearing axle doesnt have a spacer either.
You need the spacer in the middle. Otherwise when you tighten the axle it will squeeze the bearings inward and ruin them, and your wheel won't turn smoothly.
@@Corn-ped I didnt think of that 😅. Thank you!
Whose the one salty dude that gave a thumbs down? He probably just put in a Treats order for new loose bearings lol
I'm thinking of doing this with my Batavus GoGo. At least for the rear, to see how it goes
Thanks! Yeah I wish they would like me know what they didn't like.
Anyone know size of that pipe? I'm guessing it's 1/2 inch inner diameter, which would be about 12.7mm ID ?
I have been wondering the same
What tyres are they, pal?
Those are my favorite 17" Vee Rubber tires from treatland.tv www.treatland.tv/vee-rubber-vrm359-moped-tire-17-x-2-5-p/vee-rubber-vrm359-2.5-17.htm
What kind of pipe cutter is that, I don't want a crappy one?
Hey it is a rigid brand from home depot.
i was gonna say i'm pretty sure hobbit front wheels are the same as puch spoke. can you make a video of you one punching a hotdog?
I'll need a filmer
@@Corn-ped I'll be in Minneapolis on sunday baybee
What iron pipe size are you using?
Looks smaller than 1/2 inch- I’m at the hardware store now- lol
I think it was half in and I used a dremel to smooth out an inner seam.
is there a place in the eu where you can buy that bearing ?
I don't think so. Treats will ship it.
Amazon in Europe has a ton of puch stuff I think you can actually buy the bearing cups if you didnt want to do sealed bearings but Amazon definitely has the 6001r2 sealed bearings
Anyway to keep old vdo drive?
Yeah totally. Just put a spacer between it and the hub.
@@Corn-ped so on the snowflakes I did, the race actually had notches for the speedo drive. Race gone, notches gone.
Ahhh yeah. Well then you would have to get creative. You could switch to a spoke hub gear and notch the hub.
