Hi all. I have almost finished overhauling a vintage puch pursuit. The last hurdle to overcome is tyres! Does anyone know where I can find some 27 inch white wall tyres? I've checked all the usual places. ..ebay has some but they are very cheap looking. Will 700c fit? What's the size...

just came across this post not sure if still live. i happen to have this frame in my garage WITH original forks. will have to dig it out as this was my first trials frame with large sentimental value but am willing to part with it.

nor me... amazing. thanks again

2.49, thats better than i couldve hoped for. thanks very much for that

hi all, im restoring a 70's puch pursuit and have come to do the gear and brake cables. im wondering if the cables are any different to modern day before i buy them and find out the are the wrong size of end. it is a simplex downtube shifter. and the brakes are safety lever brakes, weimann i...

Re: Help identify this old touring bike that I've fallen for yep so has mine . it's a puch pursuit. here's my frame fresh back from the powder coaters!

Re: Help identify this old touring bike that I've fallen for puch pursuit? I have just re furbed one and looks very similar?

ok thanks very much. I understand about the different sizes. I will get 299 access 302. once managed to find then not sure about quality though. I'll build the front first and see how I get on. cheers for your help, a vid link would be appreciated

looking for cheap as possible as doing this on a budget. how critical is the length, it's there 4mm tolerance of I get 298mm spokes all over? confident on the front wheel build after watching a few vids. but the back wheel with the offset im unsure of, anyone point me in the right direction...

it's a 27 inch wheel. 642 overall. 11mm from edge to bottom of nipple slot. sorry left that out. yes 36 hole 3 cross. I can find 298mm but not anything above that?

right I've been doing some measuring, hope it's accurate enough. hub nut to nut 122.5 mm,left flange to hub centre 42 mm, right 17mm. hole to opposite is 42mm and erd 620mm. that everything? what tolerance do I have with length as nipple is 12mm I believe? cheers

very intuitive and accurate way of doing it thanks very much. as for the hub flange diameter am I correct in saying it is measured centre to centre of opposite holes in the same flange? and the centre hub to flange can be done by flange to flange /2? (no offset) if the calculator states I need...

I am looking to re build some retro wheels and trying to work out what spoke lengths I need, I have tried using a spoke calc and coming up with 300mm using a metal tape and eyeing it in, sounds about right but pretty hap hazard! wondering if there is anyone with better expertise that can help...

that's the ones I'm after (for weinmann levers) the extension levers I've got, the ones that have broken are plastic but would want ali or like to prevent it happening again. cheers

you did, and also have me the same link. just wanted to know what variations were available. I shall give sjs a go. wanted to see if there were any about with a slightly deeper outer cable socket. cheers
