Re: I guessed that, but don’t want to cold set the frame. Can the original 120mm hub be laced to a newer rim?

Hi all I love my Raleigh Banana. It’s only the gas pipe model but a minter even the original chrome wheels! In the past I’ve fitted alloy wheels as they are better in the damp. Problem I have is the rear hub on the more modern is 130mm. The space is 120mm. The rear takes a screw on freewheel...

Re: I’ve not seen a freewheel like it before but counts up as 14/16?! But the larger gear as big spaces in between the teeth. The rear mech works great but needs a clean. Any info on the freewheel would be great

Hi all Looking for some advice on the small but present ding on these wheels. They are original equipment for my Carlton Cobra and the produce a slight ticking/rub on the road test

Re: The range is pretty good and has a get out gear. Going to do some steep climbs and see how I get on. May end up fitting a double on the front.

Just finished this. All there is to do is size it to me and ride it! Planning to do the Eroica 100 on it. Only 5 speed though. Cheers
