I won't be able to get a picture of the axle until tomorrow evening (it's at a shop) but do know that - to accommodate the drum brake - the axle is thicker in the middle. Once I pick up the axle, I'll take some calipers to it...
I'll have a look for hubs. Are there any that you'd recommend with a drum brake that would accommodate a six speed shimano cassette? All those that I've seen have internal gearing (there's nothing in the Tester Approves thread).
Any reasons why you wouldn't want to upgrade to say 8 speed or higher? Tandems.co.uk sell hubs / rear wheels with threading for a drum brake that could work?
Thanks!
