So there I was on NB on Highland just passing melrose when I felt a wobbling from the rear tire and I thought, GREAT! I have another flat. I was at about 20 mph and I immediatly let go of the throttle to deccelarate. I looked at my tire and it was fine and noticed that the engine's chain came off. I put it back on thinking, That was easy. As I began to pedal I felt the same thing but it was more obvious that a small overlook had caught up with me. A few weeks ago I had noticed a small amout of play (1/8th of an in., maybe) in the rear tire which I wasn't sure was normal (still not sure). As well I saw some grease on the big sprocket near the center that appeared to be seeping through. I had read a thread about servicing the coaster brake and had intended to do it but family life overwhelmed me on my days off. I am a novice at best with bikes and it probably would have taken me a days (I'm a realist). What should I do? What would you do to fix this? Thanks all, peace to men of good will..
