| I recently picked up a shiny new 1965 dated front DynoHub for my 65' DL-1. It is missing the axle nuts. Are these a standard size or some oddball Whitworth thread? Also, my spoke calculator gives me a spoke length of 300 mm for the large flange and 310 mm for the small flange. (3 cross) How close am I with these assuming I'm using the original 28" Dunlop rim? by: 75.147.73.37 |
| Hi Jeff, The threads will be British Standard Cycle Thread. I am not sure what size but what ever you do don't try Whitworth, metric, Unified fine or British Standard Fine threaded nuts because none of them will be of any use. Matthew - picking up the thread. by: 82.3.237.249 |
| With some looking about you can find the Sturmey- Archer axle nuts for the dynohub this is the G.H.6. Sturmey- Archer dyno hub by: 69.153.86.42 |
| The Raleigh spoke chart gives 12 1/10" and 11 11/16" for the 28" westwood rim and a X3 pattern. I make that out to be about 307mm and 297mm. I think we need a third opinion...anyone? by: 24.215.86.83 |
| we have a spoke chart here at oldroads that covers this under: raleigh rudge humber exploded diagrams see the spoke chart section this information is found in the Sutherlands bike book at the bike shops well, the older copies anyways still need other opinions so, anybody else care to comment? by: 69.153.86.42 |
| Be sure you're considering the right NUMBER of spokes! I just checked a couple of old dynohubs and nuts from a Shimano 3-speed hub fit fine; 10mmx1 I think. by: 216.15.114.27 |
| Shimano nuts will fit an older Sturmey- Archer G.H.6.? I never tried anything other than originals myself by: 69.153.86.42 |
| I have a 2002 Sutherland's book at home and never thought to check it. I spent a lot of money on that thing too... It is a 32 hole rim and GH6 hub. I found two nuts from a BMX axle that seem to fit fine. I don't want to try to torque them down without checking with the experts first. Thanks for all the replies! by: 75.147.73.37 |
| OK, I dug the Sutherlands out of the vault and it lists a Dyno Hub axle as 3/8 x 26 TPI so the BMX nuts should work. by: 71.173.166.48 |
| Still would stick to original nuts but do let uus know how it turns out by: 69.153.86.42 |
| The wheel is all built up and looks great. The BMX nuts worked fine. by: 75.147.73.37 |
