So job successfully completed, and I didn't need to reduce the axle length after removing/fitting slimmer spacers. Thanks for the advice given, I now have a very good set of 36 spoke Campagnolo C Record hubs on Ambrosio clincher rims (and hard to come by vs tubular) with an OLN of 126mm to run...

@bikeworkshop , Yes thanks- 9.5-10mm thick, hollow Campagnolo axle. So far I've managed to remove a 2mm spacer on the non drive side, and have just ordered an 11mm to replace the 13mm spacer on the drive side, Once I've fitted that, I'll cut 4mm off the current axle. Threading is 26tpi (not the...

Just an update on this: I've removed the freewheel and can now measure the axle which is definitely set for 130mm, despite it running a 6 speed freewheel. I'll remove the dust cap on the non drive side, I'll then either use a replacement 134mm axle (for 126/7 OLN) or cut the current one down...

Glad you like them-they are available off the shelf and and I matched them along with the bar tape and copper riveted saddle.

Already have mine too. Approaching the big 6-0 next year, for everyday use my choice is a Trek Domane 5.9: rear isoSpeed helps cushion the ever-degrading UK roads. Not interested in disc brakes and 11/12 speed upgrade etc. just want a bike that doesn't rust, is easy to service and be able to...

Thanks for the info Matt, I've purchased the FR7 removal tool for the Falcon Freewheel and will look to take it from there...

Yes probably a freewheel but not yet removed. Not sure on the alloy bit- it rotates freely.

Appreciate some help with this: I bought a nice pair of clincher wheels: Ambrosio Durex Servizio Corsa rims on Campagnolo (Chorus?) Hubs. A 6 speed Falcon cassette/freewheel (haven't removed it yet as needs a unique tool) was fitted and I thought the rear OLN would be c.126mm. However, it's...

Yes it sold too- went overseas.

Yes @freddie grubb , available.
