    Hub for 5 speed freewheel, 120mm dropout?

    Hi I've been given an early 80s Falcon. I'd like to get some new wheels, but still use a five speed cassette. Are there new hubs out there to fit the 120mm dropout? Or will I have to look out for old stock? Any advice/recommendations welcome! Thanks Bob

    Early 80s Falcon Laser advice?

    Hi All I've just been given a rusty Laser from the original owner, who thinks he bought it in the early to mid 80s. I have no experience but am considering attempting to restore it. But first I could do with some answers to these questions: 1 Was the bike any good? The frame is a Reynolds...

    Deore LX ST-M567 Shifter/Brake Date?

    Shimano M737 cassette compatibility

    I'll give it some thought. The freehub body I have came as part of the XT hub I purchased 10 years ago. So I presume would that be ok with the M737? (It took me a while to remember I had a better than basic hub!)

    Shimano M737 cassette compatibility

    Thanks for advice both. Its £40 (NOS) including postage. I haven't bought it yet. Just seen HG51 new for £13. Is the M373 THAT much better?

    Shimano M737 cassette compatibility

    Hi All I've located a NOS Shimano XT M737 8 speed cassette. I'm intending to buy it as a replacement for a Shimano Acera HG41. My question is will it fit on my existing freehub body, or will I have to purchase a different one? Thanks Bob
