@@Nico-gg4oq I bought one in Delaware and just bought another (barn find) in New Jersey. I live in Maryland, a retired engineer and lifetime motorcyclist, and am charmed by these.
great tutorials. i finally got spark on my 77 puch and im about to add an external tank since the original has crap in it. it hasnt been started in 7-8 years
Thanks for posting, I thought I was doing something wrong/missing some hardware. I haven't taken that thing apart in years. Now I know it just takes some fiddling!
Smashing job travis :-) Great you reminded people to check again after tightning the locking nut, there is allways a tiny bit of lateral play between the cone nut and spindle threads. Steering head bearings are much the same on older motorbikes, its a feel for the minimum play but smoothest bearing spin, i do know what you mean :-) The grease was pooched ha ha :-)
I don't but Cornped does: ua-cam.com/video/mS1GdtKUKsc/v-deo.html That's without the correct tool though, step by step for that is here: www.mopedarmy.com/wiki/Changing_a_Puch_freewheel Usually I just spray around the outside of the freewheel with some grease in a can while turning it and it becomes good enough.
Hey man. I attempted to do this without first watching this video and stupidly took the shims out that hold the bearings in place. Now I can't get them back in. Do I have to buy a new wheel or can I buy new shims somewhere?
Hey Travis, I am building a 1978 Vespa Grande and I am looking for some parts including snowflake wheels, side and middle covers. Can you please help. Thank you
Hi James! Unfortunately I don't have any Vespa parts anymore. Sometimes you can get lucky watching treatland.tv for those kinds of parts, otherwise the Buy/Sell forum on MopedArmy is still a great resource as is emailing DosCycles. Best of luck with your search!
hmm my puch lost all of the ballbearings on 1 side, also on the inside of that side something broke so i can't just buy new ones. (dodgy discription i know) anything i can do besides buying an whole new Wheel?
Can anyone help me? I accidentally took off the plate that holds the little ball bearings on the side of one of my rims. Is their a ghetto way to fix it or am I screwed? Cause it does not want to o back on
Travis, I bought a Maxi eight months ago, and your videos ARE THE BEST!

thanks worked on my Honda express. your the man!
Nice video, thanks! I recommend using a magnet to get the ball bearings out, less likely to drop any or scratch a race.
Subbed this helped with my 78 PUCG
Glad to hear it!
Your videos are incredibly helpful thank you
I gotta do this on my '78 Maxi Sport. Or swap for sealed bearings & 12mm axles, haven't decided yet.
You are the best man! thanks for all of your help.
+Donald Sayers Woo! Glad it helped, get out there and rideeee!
We shall see. I've used your stuff to fix a lot of things. Hoping this will help with my new loose rear wheel. 78 puch maxi
Very helpful video!!! Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Do you have a video on how the disassemble and clean the ratchet on the pedal side of the hub?

That link to the mopedarmy page is exactly what I needed. Thanks

Ruben Witters Your screwed
Does the indian moped with the aluminum wheels have the same type of bearings? anyone know?

Thanks, good stuff 🙂!
If you could tell me what the plastic Red dust cover's on the port side are for? 1976 Puch Maxie 1 HP. It's Cute,🙂 641 miles.
I think you are missing to put in dust disc after the bearings
super helpful video, thank you! for freak's sakes though man, get some safety glasses when your going to be working with sprays.
Awesome
Use a magnet to remove the bearings.
