Wanted: Cog and Lock Ring For French Hub

I have a Maillard Large Flange hub and need a cog and lock ring that will suit? I am right in assuming that both need to be 'french'? Can anyone suggest where I might get these?

I have a double fixed malliard hub, only ever use one of the sides. So the other cog & lockring I would sell. The problem is, I cant get them off! Im expecting to see my friend soon who has a lockring remover so maybe he can help.

But if you wanna just go and buy one, I think it is "mavic ellipse" range that uses the same threading.

i got a lockring in holloway cycles for a fiver for a maillard double. i think that any cog will fit, no special size for that.

Thanks DFP! I'll have a search but let me know if you manage to remove them.

Thanks D0cA!

@DFP if you havent tried it yet you can use a flat head screwdriver and a hammer to get lockrings off by putting the screwdriver into one of the grooves and tapping it with hammer

the notches are really small and its hard to get a good grip with my lockring tool let alone a screwdriver!

My friend has one of them big C-spanners, im hoping that'll work.

I too have a shit Maillard LF hub, and was reliably informed by another LGFSS member that you should only use a French threaded lockring. I had a Italian threaded one on, and while it seemed to tighten up, said LFGSS member said he thought that too until one day it ripped the threads clean off.

So I went and bought a French threaded Mavic lockring from Ribble Cycles. Unfortunately they don't seem to list them on their web site any more. Perhaps if you rang them they might help. Incidentially it was the lockring from a Mavic Ellipse track wheel.
