Thought I had given using these years ago .To quote either Archibald Sharp or Nimod both well known back in their day, "surely the cycle industry can do better than a cotter pin" as we now know,it eventually did.
However as many here will know, they were standard on most mass market bikes.until the early 1970's or maybe they lasted into the 1980's.?
Please correct me if I am wrong about the time period on their continued use. Well it's still happening here in the 21st century. :facepalm:
Waffle over.
Now for my question.
Are TDC,Bayliss Wiley Brampton and Chater lea axles susposed to be same diameter,on the external surface were the crank arm sits ? Because if so I beg to differ.Or is it just down to poor engineering tolerances during their manufacuring that they are not the same.
Paddy over ...Off to look round the garden for a couple of axles.
