jfab's correct on the sidecase damage. Seen it on fully wipedout hubs before,,, cause of the looseness of the chain. At least ride it like a little old lady going home from church. I missed the cause in the first place howd it chunk out,,, changing bearings?  :|

Yes, that looks very painful. A visit to the emergency room is cheaper than a hub and respoking. Better yet, you can get a rear wheel pretty cheap off ebay.
