Retro Newbie
Hi, I'm a newbie to the forum. I've got a 1942 Claude butler SWB tandem that i'm trying to get ready for this years L'Eroica and i'm in need of some advice regarding the front wheel. Last year the brakes were really scary on the Derbyshire hills resulting in a loss of shoe leather. This year i'm trying to fit a hub brake to the front wheel to help the aged Resillion brakes. I've got hold of a NOS tandem hub brake from a friend but it only has holes for 24 spokes. My existing wheel is a 36 hole hub. The spokes are heavy grade tandem spokes but i'm worried that the wheel won't be strong enough with the new spoke count. Does anyone ave any advice.
Thanks, Andy.
