Title: Cutlas Hub
Post by: Steve on October 02, 2013, 09:07:05 PM

First of many questions. Does anyone know how the version of the Cutlas Hub I have pictured works? I have searched around and found references to the Cutlas Hubs and various pictures and diagrams, but nothing quite like this one.
 I did try and rotate it via grabbing the knurled area, but no luck. Thanks

Steve

There is a lock and unlock position. It help if you can move the wheel while trying to turn it. It is hard to engage sometimes.

There are many variations of Cutlass hubs and yours is one variation.

Thanks.  Getting a good grip and some elbow grease got the locking mechanism to move. A few times back-and-forth and things were pretty smooth.
