Have seen some oddball things done to bikes as many here have as well. Just starting the thread to share pics and stories and attempt not to judge. Just bikes as this could go crazy in short time and lose the bike specific theme.
So here we go...
A fella I’ve changed tires on bikes for a few times just picked up a ‘96 Honda Pacific Coast... he said cause it was there and pretty cheap... I laughed and he left it here for me to replace some very aged and worn tires.
The easiest way to drop hidden rear wheel is to hang it over back of lift, or drop the lift out plate, or hang it over a curb... I hung the rear past the lift and raised the table to drop rear tire. Yes, the shop is a total cluster at moment, thank you very much
Something looks odd. Where’s the axle nut alongside the drive?
Looking immediately to right side I begin the headshake . The pinch bolt is doing nothing and the axle is floating! Sent pics to owner and he was freaked out. Only rode it twice since picking it up, once was coming here.
He thought the fall off in turns was only tires... thinking maybe it’s been like that since previous tire change!
Lucky no one was hurt with the backwards axle... just have to wonder HOW?!
Edit: tire code shows a 2000 model
