one last question would a 4 speed freewheel fit onto a current 5 speed wheel set?

thank you :)

ok thanks for the info Keith. So you think a 120mm hub would be easy to adjust to fit?

Cheers for the reply! so can I use any size hub, how do you adjust the axle spacers? Thanks

Hi, Have a rear fork spacing of 115mm and can't find a hub or wheel anywhere to fit, I want to have it with a 4 speed freewheel. I don't really want to cold-set it. Does anyone have any experience at getting wheels or hubs that fit them, would any other size fit? Thanks

Hi, thanks for all the responses :) Just measured it and its 11.5, does that mean it fit both a 4 or a five speed? Cheers robbied for that list its a great help and looks about the same as what I was looking at :) Found a lovely Benelux mk 7 4 speed derailleur on eBay. Think its from around...

Hi, Just got a 1954 claud butler new allrounder frame and forks and I'm trying to work out the best parts for a period rebuild. I wasn't sure wether to go for a 4 speed or 5 speed as finding 1950s derailleurs for the 5 speed is near impossible. Could anyone help with a list of period parts it...
