I am very interested in your C15 project, especialy the bashplate I can't find any for sale for the C15 (anyone have any clues?)
Do you know if it's a "home brew" bashplate or a bought item.
Cheers Kev
For a bashplate, if you want something fancy would imagine D & C Classic Motor Cycles can help you out or re-direct you. Otherwise for the more pure functional try Steve Jones of http://progressiveclassicproducts.co.uk/ , he has been known for a while for the loads of stuff he does for Ajays and Matchless, but seems to have expanded his activities for the good of the classic British-trials-iron enthusiasts.
i'd very much take a 40 year old parts book with a pinch of salt. if you ve built a wheel up i'd put it in the swing arm and check that the sproket alignmentment is spot on. the only way to do this is with a steel straight edge ( you be amazed how far out doing it by eye can be.. yes we thought we were good and thought it was spot on)
the guys at cwc are normally spot on. i normally send them a spoke from each side for reference and the come back 100%.
Well that is exactly why I am asking if anyone knows if there was a differnt in width on the later Bantam hubs? Or what would be the part number that should be on it if I have a correct Bantam hub. I used CWC a couple of times, and they where always spot on if i laced the wheel according to the factory off-sets. Would have assumed when then fitting it in a CUB swingarm and trying to maximize off-set for the chain that I would end-up with too long spokes on one side that would need a minimum of grinding.
As they usually are spot on, I rather first check that I truly got the part for what I bought it for. Afterall a hub goes for about
Can anybody specify the width of a Bantam D14 4 rear hub and/or specify the part number?
Had got a hold of a Bantam rear hub to put in my trials Cub, with the idea it is a bit wider/stronger wheel. Ordered all the parts from CWC accordingly, build it up and now spokes are sticking out inside the rim for about 4-5mm... so am a bit baffled what went wrong. Hope someone can tell if my D14 4 hub is not what I bought if for (only have a bunch of Cub part catalogues) and suggestions for solutions?
Just rebuild a set of Cub hubs. So have it fairly fresh in mind, but to avoid posting anything wrong had a look in the "Triumph Tiger Cub Bible" as well and apparently that books contains all the wisdom! If only I used it instead of dragging rusty greasy worn bearings around.
Front:
-Left side: type 6202 - 15mm ID x 35mm OD x 11 mm wide
-Right side: type 6203 - 17mm ID x 40mm OD x 12 mm wide
Rear:
Both the same size: type 6203 - 17mm ID x 40mm OD x 12 mm wide.
I went for the sealed ones and since I only plan on using the bike for trials (No greenlaning, so speeds will stay low), I went for budget series, but Stainless steel sealed bearings. Think is going to pay of when using the bike for wading and muddy trials.
