Looking either for a front hub brake, or a narrow Raleigh front hub, to fit the narrow front forks on a vintage Raleigh 3-speed frame. 36 hole. Any offers considered. The spacing is about 90mm.

Edit - or/also indeed any rear sturmey archer hub...

Thank you,

If noone has anything suitable, can anyone suggest a good source of second-hand parts other than the bay?
Thanks

I've got a Raleigh front wheel here (post#3). I think the hub is narrower than 100mm, but may not be quite as narrow as 90mm, perhaps 95/96mm. Might be workable especially with some respacing, let me know if you want me to measure it more precisely.

Formatting Help

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:

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
