Chater Lea Hubs

I'd managed to buy a set of replacement Chater Lea hubs for the bike, since my originals had a broken cup in the rear hub. (See other photos in this set).

 

When I finally came to build the wheels I found the new rear hub flanges were bent out of line. Very annoying!

 

So a little time spent in the garage I managed to pull one of the cups from the hub with the bent flange and hey presto instant spare part to fix up my old hub.

 

End result I'm happy. I've been able to keep the original hubs! But I'll be looking closer at what I purchase next time.
