All, thanks. Yes I was trying to sevice the innards and have now taken the easy option of replacing the freehub. The old freebub came off fairly easily (I know they can be terrible to get off).
I have started to restore/repair a classic sun bike. it has a simplex freehub. When I stripped it down one of the pawl springs has broken. Does anyone know where I can locate spares and is it simple to fit (I can't see how to take the broken one out). The photo shows the non-broken spring.
Hello,
I'm after a retro bike for my son to ride, so he can ride with my on my old bike as a bit of fun (he as a modern Road bike).
I'm not after anything flash, but don't really know where to start looking.
I'm after a good rim to replace the damaged one on my 1957 BDA Tour of Britain sport.
Will consider a whole wheel or even a whole bike to get the parts.
Message me if you have anything suitable.
Many thanks,
Hi,
I'm hoping I can get some help and pointed in the right direction.
I have a BSA Tour of britain Sport frame from 1957. Firstly this needs some TLC, repainting (2 colours) and re-chroming.
So I have 2 choices:
1. take if to a restorer - can anyone recommend a good one in the midlands...
