Pattern Sturmey Archer Indicator Sets from Colwood Wheel Works
My engineer is now making pattern Sturmey Archer indicator sets (often referred to as toggle chains) for K, TF, FW, FG, FM, FC hubs. These hard to find parts will be available very soon.
I saw two prototypes today and they are very good indeed. Just a couple of very minor changes were required which my engineer is implementing on the sets which he is now making.
These will be accurate pattern two part sets. They will include both the indicator rod and the pull rod complete with toggle chain.
These sets will work as they should and will look right. The threads are slightly different (stronger) than the original Sturmey Archer threads so these will only be supplied as matching sets.
Orders are now being taken for these Sturmey Archer indicator sets. Please phone 01323 848667 to enquire about a set for your hub and to place your order.
A current project is a 1936 RRA. The frame is with the painter/frame shop, decals have been sourced, Lauterwasser bars found in Denver, wheels next. The TF 5 hub (1935?) has a badly worn freewheel which has been carefully removed. This revealed a splined joint, as worn as the sprocket teeth. Can the unit be serviced and made useful?
