I only did the card in the spokes one but that orange bike has a seat like my first bike, a Columbia fat tire by today's standards, or I guess we could call that a Newsboy bike, I did deliver papers on it for a friend from time to time. On Tue, Jul 28, 2020 at 1:10 PM Garth wrote: > > I know

I know what you mean about the freehub thing, as just last year I finally decided to own rear wheel with a Deore freehub. I was and am still using Sachs 7-speed freewheels and Phil hubs. I have plenty of FW's but I wanted to try the 12-36 9-speed cassette. How is it ? Brand new they lacked

I use 6 speeds. I may have one 7 speed in my stash but have not been tempted to use it. I have old (NOS) Suntour in a drawer. I also have 1 Sachs also a 6 speed. 13-26 on the 6 speeds. On Tue, Jul 28, 2020 at 10:37 AM Garth wrote: > > Yes Joel, it's self-centering in that you're adding

PS: I mean "re-dish" my wheels, not "relish". Relishing my wheels would have been awkward in that the pickles and whatnot would have got stuck in the drivetrain. On Tuesday, July 28, 2020 at 10:35:50 AM UTC-4 ☆ Paul ☆ wrote: > Joel: > > I just converted an old White Industries MI5 hub from

Yes Joel, it's self-centering in that you're adding equal amount of space on both sides. If all of this had required a re-dish I'd have never done it as that is not something I'd EVER do to an already well built wheel. I'm assuming you are using a similar freewheel in width to the one

Joel: I just converted an old White Industries MI5 hub from 130 to 135 so it'd fit on my Atlantis. White gave me a little end cap that I screwed in on the non-drive side. It took about 3 minutes! Then I had to relish my wheels (or else it wasn't centered)! On Tuesday, July 28, 2020 at

Joel, yes you have a spacer between the lock nut and cone on the left, but *also on the right*, under where the FW is placed. To lengthen the inside width of the assembly from lock nut to lock nut equidistantly, you need the longer axle(in this case solid), an extra 4.5mm of spacers added

Garth, my Bleriot wheels were built up with a Superbe Pro rear hub, what could that have been, 126mm? I measured spacers on the left side and it seems to be 5mm, so what am I not seeing? The bike was set up with a QR and I have never had a problem, it was all done in 2006 or so. I just want to

It's funny you brought that up Joel as I was going to relate my experience with my '83 Stumpjumper. Of course it came with a 126mm Specialized rear hub, but my original freewheel needed replaced so I decided to cold set the rear to 135mm and replace the original solid axle with a longer
