Re: Old AW hub on 126mm dropouts
Brucey are you saying that the axle in a braked hub and the axle in an unbraked hub are interchangeable? i always imagined that the gear parts of a braked hub were thinner to allow for the brake parts to fit in aswell. although, i'd assumed this and never measured it :oops: if it is the case that th...

Re: Old AW hub on 126mm dropouts
brucey - if the time comes where the OP wants to go to a 126mm hub, surely they can re-cold set it?

Re: Rim ERD, hub dimension, spoke length confusion
now, i don't know the measurements of your hub, nor which method of arriving at spoke length you might choose to use. however, i've always used this .. http://www.bikeschool.com/tools/spoke-length-calculator. it's never let me down for many wheels. putting some typical hub values in and ERDs of 541,...

Re: Help needed in the East of England
it'd be a little more helpful if Essex was in the title. i'd love to help, but it takes hours in a car to get to essex from here, and days by bike. good luck

Re: How much would you pay for this
you've made made something unique, that will ride beautifully and last a lifetime. i'd say £1000+ is fair price for that. if you'd used a pre-made frame+forks say from bob jackson ...£650 just for the frameset - off the peg. so your total seems good value to me, it's nonsense to compare it to a taiw...
