Sorry need to jump on this thread. Can't do my own yet...

I need some advice about the same thing. My '78 Brown Raleigh Grand Prix is all sorted apart from a rear hub. Up front I have a 32H Large flange Harden sealed bearing hub.....very nice. I have some wing nuts and some nice polished 27" SUN rims on the way.....

I cannot find a 50's to late 70's English made 36H hub anywhere....Any ideas about what I should look for or where?

It's been a good 2 months....she needs riding.

Cheers
Alex

You're more likely to find a 40h/32h (or more rarely, 28h/28h) track hub pairs made in England. As I understand it, 40hole rear hubs with 32h up front were pretty standard for english built bikes up to the time that the european stuff really killed off the homegrown companies - they europeans generally built with the same numbers each wheel - 36/36, 32/32 etc.

Just to add though, if you do go 32/40h you face a killer time trying to find 40h rims, tubs are a bit easier but clinchers will be a nightmare

I've all but given up for finding a matching 40/32 poliched 27" clincher set.....think its impossible.

I found these:

Look good, well made. I can get them shipped to Oz for not a lot of $.

Just the hub thats a killer.

The front hub is a keeper: .....just need a rear.

So are you saying that that period English rear hubs only come in 40H, not 32 or 36? regardless of whether they're matching for front?

If thats the case......I'm buggered

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
