I Need Your Surplus Hub Brakes and Hubs

I'm a middle school teacher. I have a long term project to put together an educational program using bicycles to talk about history, technology, gears, structures, and so on. For the "hands on" part of it, I thought students could take apart and put together some hub brakes (minus rim and spokes, and degreased and cleaned). The New Departure Model D is too complicated for this, but a brake like the CCM "37" is perfect. I realize this is an important part of a vintage bike, but perhaps there are newer versions of this brake, or worn out old ones (do they ever wear out?) that people have lying around doing nothing and wouldn't mind parting with. If you have an extra brake, one with pitted bearing cups, etc that you don't need, could you consider sending it to me? I will pay for the postage, and if you want a small sum for the hub too that would be ok. It does not have to be cleaned, but if you're going to mail it could you remove the rim and spokes? This is a project for my retirement which is still some years away but I am collecting stuff now. I will need at least a dozen. I will take front hubs too. -Brian R.

Hi!

I have a front and rear hub with the oil nipples. The rear is stamped CCM 37. I took them off an SPC that has a Ducati Cucciolo engine mounted . It had no brakes, because the rear has been traficated somewhat. I don't think that it's broken..The bike nowhas front and rear Strurmey Archers drum brakes.

Tell me your address and I will quote for shipping I have Canada Post on my desk top.

Hope that this makes yopur day.

Frederick.

Yes! That does make my day, thanks Frederick! I will send you my address through a private message. Cheers.

Got it...I'll get back to you before sundown.

I sent you an email.
