Hub threading on a 1964 Claud?

Posted on
  • I'd like to run my 64 Coureur fixed. It has the original hub with a 5 speed one side and thread for fixed I assume the other side. The thread is stepped.
    Will the thread be the same as the stuff available today?

    While I'm here. Could the 5 speed freewheel be swapped for a BMX style freewheel?

    And the chainset is a Williams 48t, recommendations for use here in the Chilterns. 48x18?

  • It should be, gearing recommendation is 19t, depending on what wheels size it is.

    As for freewheels; nope.
