Quit! It's the best thing I ever did.

Question...the bit in the middle of the back wheel, connects to the brake-y bits (on a CBF 125 at least) what's it called? the hub? it seems to be holding the rear wheel in place so it can move around, but isn't part of it.
Sorry for bad description, trying to work out if I will need a whole back wheel replacement or just the middle part :P

This bike Rhea?

It has a drum brake, which is part of the hub of the wheel. What's the problem?

yeah that's the one. The whole thing seems to have come loose, most likely after I got an animal run into me, and after the repairs it was fine for a few weeks, then I found tonight the whole thing was loose, and after getting it back into the garage, the aluminium (or whatever) part in the centre is being made rough and sharp...looks like its had a grinder on the edge
EDIT so I guess I need a whole new brake -.-

Stop riding it immediately! Sounds like the rear spindle. Can you post pics? If not get someone who knows or a local mechanic to look at it. Don't ride it.

Have you got a Haines manual for it?

I'm not stupid enough to ride on it...local guys picked it up yesterday to work on it, they'll sort it out. I was right, the bearings have gone, there's some damage to the drum from where we got it onto the recovery truck, but he already has a couple of full rear wheels about, apparently 3 people have written off theirs in the last couple of months -.-
