Hi there
I am in process to try a rebuild of a Raleigh Clubman (possibly 1949); presently I have only the frame (well conserved) and the pedals....not very much indeed.
I am writing in order to have some information about the configuration of the rear wheel/hub gears.
I would like to rebuild the bike avoiding the use of the classic Sturmey Archer hub gear that I have seed depicted in the large part of the pictures available on the web.
Does any of you is aware of the use of flip/flob hubs (fixed) on raleigh Clubman ?
In case which is the hub/wheel used ?
On the bay I have found many fixed vintage hubs, but unfortunately all of them have 40 holes, and the relative rim is quite difficult to find.
Have you got any fixed/single speed rear wheel suitable for a rebuilding ?
Would you suggest the use of a modern 700c wheel or maintaining the original 26 x 1 3/8.
Thank you for now
Claudio
