    1955 raleigh roadster wheel change, full chainguard

    Thanks Keith, I will give it a go. I have special clip, like half a safety pin that I use on my new fangled bike chains for this purpose. Your memory seems fine to me my friend. A task in the next couple of weeks will be getting the gears just right-its the original 1955 AG hub. Can you recall...

    1955 raleigh roadster wheel change, full chainguard

    Thanks Keithglos. Funny how when you take a step back it all goes together and you think duh! The circular cover does indeed fit exactly as you say - like a paint tin lid. When I got the bike this wasnt fitted and has actually been painted inside out! when you flip it over it fits exactly like a...

    1955 raleigh roadster wheel change, full chainguard

    Hello Shaun - almost. Mine doesnt split like the rudge one at the back inward curve (its one piece). The only other difference is that the rear loose section is at the top corner rather than the bottom one. The circular push out plate is identical tho - you have to fit the crank and chain in...

    1955 raleigh roadster wheel change, full chainguard

    Thanks jonw, I did the removable bit on the rear part of the chain guard but it was a real bu#er as you say for getting the wheel out. I have done this 3 or 4 times now and have to believe there must be a simpler way - messy and very difficult thinking about the tools one needs to carry around...

    1955 raleigh roadster wheel change, full chainguard

    fun and games with my raleiogh roadster project. The chainguard fully encloses the chain and is a nightmare to get on/off. Does anyone know if there is a relatively quick way to get the back wheel off -think punctures. Also how do you fit the big circular window plate in the chain guard around...

    sturmey archer AG 1955 rear hub help on dynohub please

    yes I have the 701 metal spacer, also the 703, but not the 704, albeit I have tried a washer there and it made no difference. I think the drawing you provide is either before or after the 55 model. I see from another AG drawing that there is a k605 spacer washer betweeen the armiture and left...

    sturmey archer AG 1955 rear hub help on dynohub please

    Thanks but it will not hold it and I have seen all the exploded views and nothing seems to be missing. It looks like they were forever changing the washers/nuts combos.

    sturmey archer AG 1955 rear hub help on dynohub please

    Can anyone tell me how to stop the magnet casing spinning? When reasembled and put back on the bike the central part that you attach the light electrical wires spins with the rest of the wheel unless you put your finger on it to stop it. Happy I have got all the correct bits for re assembly...
