Dude, thank you soooo much! I have the exact same hub (Quando) and been messing with it for WEEKS and couldn’t get it right, this video helped me fix it. Thanks!
I did the same thing with my rear (what seams to be Guando) hub cause my bike wouldn't peddle right and the whole time I thought it was a rusty bearing in the crank. Come to find out it was the rear hub, opened it up to grease/mud and some rust on the prawls. The prawls were grinding the teeth on the cassette, still haven't fixed it but I'm close. I'm gonna modify or do something to both prawl and cassette to get it working again. Love the video!!
Much appreciated. Sometimes you just have to overhaul the whole thing because once it jams the pawls might get stuck and not engage correctly. Sometimes they even skip and it could be some serious problem when your knee hits the bars or the stem.
@@KamaarhKenn none of my pawls are catching none of the cassette teeth. Your video was so so helpful too I appreciate the help and the kind words. I was nervous opening the hub up for the first time but now I'm confident I will fix it. Thx again bro
Try adjusting the tension in the spring wire and test the pawls one by one before putting the whole thing back together. Make sure the wire has a somewhat circular profile to even out the tension all round and you'll be okay. All the best to you and safe riding 👊👊
@@KamaarhKenn thanks bro, I had to smash the drive in tooth by tooth cause they were bent out of wack from the prawls grindings thru them but actually itz riding so smooth now thank you so so much brother. I will continue to sub to your amazing channel!
Just use a thin flathead screwdriver and push the spring wire out. But not with too much force because the spring wire might deform and won't work correctly
My driver won't come off. On either of my wheels. The claws busted in one and won't come off. So I was going to swap the driver off an old wheel and it's perfect but it won't come off either. What do I do?
Try using WD-40 on the axles to loosen up the bolts. Could be they're just seized on there. Or alternatively you could use brake fluid on there. It works to break down surface rust and after a while you can loosen the bolts
@@zslinkyzx9831, try them nonetheless. Sounds like the driver is seized up on the axle. Once you get it free apply a light coating of grease on both surfaces before putting it back together to prevent future problems
1:05 I’m really struggling to take that nut off because my axle doesn’t have a Allen wrench hole on the ends is there another way because it just won’t spin without the axle spinning with it
You can try to tighten 2 axle nuts on the other side really tight, then use a spanner on the inner one as an anchor and try to loosen the one you want to take off
Or try to bolt the loose part to the frame rly tight on the outer side of the frame works to, then try to use wd40 or other oil that penetrates and maybe bang the screw with a hammer so the oil goes in better and now loosen it.
If it's for the semi-sealed one, you can carry a few bearings to your local bike shop and get the exact size ones you need. As for the side to side play, I personally recommend leaving a bit of room, about a millimeter for the driver to wiggle. This allows for the driver to have a bit of space to move between Applying pressure when you pedal and when you let off to coast. It also helps keep the bearings for longer since they aren't under too much stress
@@KamaarhKenn thanks I have over 1/4" of side to side play. Took it apart and seen the thread is smashed in side not allowing it to go down enought. I just ordered a 14mm x 1mm die to chase over the threads. Thanks for the reply.
There's about 7 or 8 bigger ones on the non-drive side and for the driver side there's usually about 11-13 or so on the upper as well as the lower grooves, which comes up to say 22-26 in total. Do check if there's any gaps left once you put the bearings back in and add some if necessary. I normally run my hub with one ball bearing less on all the three grooves so I'm a bit fuzzy on the exact numbers but I wouldn't recommend the same for you. All the best.
I'm not sure on the exact size. But a quick trick to get exact replacements is to get a few of them as sample pieces and present them to your local bike shop/ mechanic. Then compare and make sure to get a few more than enough since they tend to get lost when reassembling them. I've used this trick for years and I haven't had any issues so far.
If it's the first one on the video, check that the pawls and spring(s) are okay and in good condition. Hubs vary in design so some might have individual springs for each pawl, or a ring type spring like the one in the video. Test the tension by pushing down on wach pawl to see how hard or easy it is for it to rebound. If it springs back harder it means the spring is fine and your pawls are probably worn. But if there's a bit of lag in the spring back motion the spring could be faulty.
can i ask what type of bearings need in el matador hub 3 pawls and what pawls needed what type of bearing need in cog driver thankyou i will appreciate if you notice me
That's a hard one to answer. If you have it on your bike you might have to take it apart to see those details exactly. Hubs vary in design but maintain the same principles, whether they run a sealed, semi-sealed or fully unsealed system. So if you have it with you, take it apart and you'll be able to tell what kind of bearings you need and how many of them you require. Hope this helps...
@@adingmalla1556 Once you open up the hub you should be able to find the specific parts you need for your hub. Just bring them to your local bike shop or salvage pars from an old hub that are similar and you should be good.
Hello, do you know which pawls are used on the 2nd (the quando semisealed hub)? I have a similar one, the pawls look the same, but i can't seem to find pawls on the bmx websites I usually use
Both the sealed and semi-sealed use bearings with serial number 6902-2RS . Only difference between the two is that the sealed one runs 2 sealed bearings on both sides while the semi-sealed one has only one on the drive side.
@@maxx-er3fj the bearing not worn off, i clean it and relube but when i fix it and pedal theres still sound, maybe i missed something. Its not squeking but its like rattling
Not sure on the exact size, but they are really small. If you're looking to get replacements just get a few as samples and get a bunch from your local bike mechanic.
@@KamaarhKenn well, thanks for your advise. i think it's hassle for me to disassemble my hub because i only have one of it , and thanks for your videos its so helpful keep it up bro!
@@carldelossantos544 Most welcome. Glad the videos are of help to you man. But if you're having second thoughts about opening up your hub, get it to a bike mechanic you trust and you should be fine🙏🙏
I'm too poor to get a new hub for BMX. It's my dream to go pro but I made the mistake of getting a bike with a Mission Function Semi-Sealed rear hub and for two weeks now I havn't been able to ride. If anyone can afford to send me one, it would mean the world. Nothing fancy or even new is neccesary, just functional. Hate to beg but I'm out of options and I'm turning to the community for help.
I bought a BMX for 25 bucks, it was all good, until i opend the casette, and all the small balls fell out, and i messed it up, it was a Subrosa salvador. Pretty good for 25 bucks

Haha, thanks so much 🙌🙌
lol wanted to comment the same
dude ,, how do you not lose all the bearings ? its aMAZING THANKS FOR THE VID
Hahaha, it's just a patience game. Plus I keep some at hand just incase I happen to lose them 😅😅

How do you remove the ratchet that is mounted in the hub. That’s the part no describes or shows
Just use a thin flathead screwdriver and push the spring wire out. But not with too much force because the spring wire might deform and won't work correctly

No worries man. Safe riding 🙏
Can you convert the bearings version to a seal version instead
No you can't, they're specifically designed to work in their different forms
For the semi sealed how many bearing does it take on each side please ???
There's about 7 or 8 bigger ones on the non-drive side and for the driver side there's usually about 11-13 or so on the upper as well as the lower grooves, which comes up to say 22-26 in total.

19 on the bottom and 21 on top
What size are the ball bearings for the back of the driver (I know they’re smaller than the front) Looking for some myself but not sure on size?

yes i did it, but my cassette is skipping tooth, i pedal but dont go nowhere just pedaling at one spot
Hi, do you run a sealed or an unsealed hub?
@@KamaarhKenn first cassette. The first, i think unsealed

Hello, do you know which pawls are used on the 2nd (the quando semisealed hub)? I have a similar one, the pawls look the same, but i can't seem to find pawls on the bmx websites I usually use
I don't know what names they are referred to as, but you could try searching for "quando hub pawls" maybe that could help
@@KamaarhKenn no success so far, but thanks.
Or try finding a donor hub instead. You just might find what you need
bro do u got video removing cog bearing?
Do you mean a freewheel?
Bro what size of Bearings in unsealed cassette
Both the sealed and semi-sealed use bearings with serial number 6902-2RS . Only difference between the two is that the sealed one runs 2 sealed bearings on both sides while the semi-sealed one has only one on the drive side.
@@KamaarhKenn what about the size of the balls in the unsealed cassette?
Hi, my driver is making sound when i pedal hard any tips?
If it's not skipping when you pedal your bearings might be worn and need to be replaced
Have you fixed it?
@@maxx-er3fj the bearing not worn off, i clean it and relube but when i fix it and pedal theres still sound, maybe i missed something. Its not squeking but its like rattling
@@hahahehe4495 You relubed your driver? Is it tight enough? My driver was not tight and that is why it was clicking

what if the string broke?? can i use spring ?
If the spring broke in either of the hub designs you'd have to get a replacement for it since they're precisely designed to fit specific dimensions.
