Thanks. No, the frame is old (fathers 531, good sentimental value and lovely comfy ride) and has drop out plates with sloping dropout for aligning 3spd hub as original. Looking at the fh-5700 tech drawing from shimano there does not appear to be a deep recess like on my ultegra hub so I was...

Re: Re: Many thanks: re 1) i have also done this on my wifes bike but I cannot fit a 130mm wide hub in the frame of the bike I'm doing up; you cannot fit wider than 7spd cassette on a 126mm OLN without making the wheel weak from too much dish. So i need a 7spd freehub fitted as well as the...

Thanks. good to see they are put to good use; nice bike. I was going to put them on a 1948 Raleigh Lenton Clubman. I'll keep searching.
