Wanted Set of 1920s or 1930s British lightweight hubs

[brilleaux]

Hello, I was hoping someone here might have a set of British lightweight/racing hubs from the 1920s or 1930s for sale. Something like Chater-Lea, BSA or Brampton. Ideally would be in good condition. Will consider complete wheels, if someone has a set of those.
Thanks!

What are they for? Any pics? We do love lots of 'em!

We might have some - what's the axle spacing and diameter you are after?

Sorry, should have included that! Rear dropouts are for a 3/8" axle set at 110mm, fork ends are 5/16" and set at 94mm (for 96mm hubs?).

It's for a "Glider" by Stenton late 20s/early 30s. I'm afraid it's box of bits at the moment, not very photogenic!

Lovely. Look forward to seeing it progress. Start a rebuild thread in "Readers' retro road bikes".

I have a pair of Chater-Lea (alloy) hubs laced up as 26" wheels. Would have to check the axle spacing and diameter though. Obviously it would be easier for you if someone above might have hubs by themselves.

Many thanks, might be interested! Would you know whether these would be period correct for the 1930s? Did Chater-Lea make alloy hubs before the war?

We've got a few chromed hubs in the box here

This resilion measures 95mm, 32h, could look quite good with a clean
And "matching" rear, 40h fixed/free, currently set at 126 3/8 but could do 110 no probs. flanges are good but the axle tube chrome is worn.
There's a double fixed bayliss wiley 110 in there too, although the alloy flanges put it at late 40s
