Cleaning the Sachs 3x7

Recently I picked up an older Sachs 3x7 hub, and I really love the machining on it. I haven't worked it into a project yet, but I will hoard it until I figure out what it's going on. It was still sticky from really old nasty grease in it, so last weekend I bathed it. I took the time to disassemble, soak in a degreaser overnight, and scrub. Be nice to your hubs and they will be nice to you!



I love the copper pawls!
Afterward I gave it an oil bath, regreased the bearings, and reassembled! Just waiting for the right frame to come around for my next project.
