The Wheel and cycling trade review . 1, the link neednot be thrown away, as it can be fixed forfurther use by boring the oblong holes largeenough to make them round, as shown atAl in the next link, and a collar inserted thecorrect size, as indicated by B in the nextview. This brings the hole down to rightsize for the rivet. In order to make the in-serted collar remain firmly in place drill asmall hole and put in a pin, as illustratedat C in the finished link. If a link breaks out at one end, as present-ed at D in fig. 2, the same can be fixed byclosing up the fracture (after heating it) andins

If a link breaks out at one end, as present-ed at D in fig. 2, the same can be fixed byclosing up the fracture (after heating it) andinserting a steel pin in the manner shownat F in adjoining view. When the rivets ofsprocket chains wear down in the way sig-nified by P in fig. 3, the chain becomes veryloose and wabbly, even if the proper chainadjustments are tightened up. Besides itwill run irregularly, and at times mountthe cogs of the gears. A new chain is ad-visable, although the old one may be fixedquite cheaply by substituting new rivets, as * ©f ®. fox (q w. marked A, in same figure, in which it maybe seen that the stud of the new rivet closesup all slackness, thus making the chain prac-tically as good as new. There are just about enough wheels in usewhere the wheel bearings are of the typeshown in fig. 4 to make it an object for re-pair people to keep in touch with suchwheels. The trouble with pattern of bearingis that one series of balls has a tendency torun ahead of the other series, thus creatingunequal wear in a few months. This bearingconsists of the axle A and bearings B, B. When a man brings a wheel to us withthese bearings we effect a remedy by takingout the balls and pinning them in pairs, asindicated in fig. 6, in which it may be seenthat a rod extends from one to the other. Themanner of attaching the rod ends is pre-sented in fig. 5, in which two ways are the first, the rod is threaded and screwedin at C, and keyed with the pin D. In theother, the rod is inserted into the bored holew
