Well mini update, managed found a front wheel to test to put into the bikes. Fits fine in the carpenter, but whilst it fits the frame of the Claud butler, the front brake caliper is too long for the 27 1/4 rim (although a rear wheel at 27 1/4 fits fine with the brakes in line with the rim.
I'm assuming that means I need to find a new brake caliper with a shorter reach to fit to the Claud butler, if anyone has any suggestions for what to search for online that would be hugely appreciated. The current claiper is a GB hiduminium side pull caliper, I wonder if the bike was originally set up for 26 Inch wheels?
Regards,
Mark
