So after taking my Shimano EB-110 to bits and putting it back together (first around one axle then around the original) I took the bike for its first 'proper' test today - the six mile commute to work. The main thing I noticed is that I'm still alive :) that and the jingle of cogs and bearings I was expecting to hear behind me didn't occur.
Turns out you can overhaul a coaster hub with little to no experience if you follow the diagrams closely and take care when dissasembling. I probably won't find out if the lithium grease is holding up for a few miles yet though. Frame seems ok too, after packing around the hub with washers so its snug and pinching it to get the axle nuts on properly.
