Anyone know how to stop a 37 hub from squeaking? I've completely overhauled it with new grease and have put a few drops of oil in the oiling port but it still squeals like crazy just near the end of braking.
Thanks... Wayne
Can anyone identify this head badge. The bicycle is a "Targa"?
Thanks, Daryl
Well I think I finally have the Flyte about where I want it. The Dunlop rims from the gal's CCm I found look great! The pump is an excellent addition too. I know I'm missing the rear reflector but i can't figure out what would go on there. There is no hole where a bolt on reflector would have gone and there are no marks from where a spot weld would have been. Also can't find any marks there a bracket might have rested.
Here are a few I've found recently:
I recently bought a spoke lot. I really only wanted a couple things, but seller wanted it gone as a lot.
can anyone date these spokes? 15 gauge. Long nickel nipples.
Received the following request. Any suggestions? John
I don't know if you can help me. I own a CCM mountain bike that 20 some years old. I just peeled all the originbal stickers that were on it. The proble is the glue remaining on the frame that I cannot get off. I tried to wipe it with gasoline, lighter gas, rubbing alohol, carburator cleaner, diesel fuel, methyl hydrate, baby oil, varsol, paint thiner and acetone.
Nothing has worked so far.
If anyone could tell me what to use I will gladly appreciate it.
Can anyone tell me if the Flytes ever had the Dunlop, red stripe rims? I picked up a 1939 ,gal's Cleveland and it has an excellent set of these.
The ones I have on there now are definitely right as far as looks go, but they are not Endrick or Dunlop and are really too nice as far as matching the rest of the patina of the bike.
Cheers.... Wayne
Anyone recognize this bike.? Gentleman looking for info. I asked if there was a serial number, but he didn't say.
I found a Pastime bike today, double bar, brush paint. The badge is Pastime, no other makers or department store name on it. The serial number has 2 numbers then C and 3 numbers. CCM style BB with oval hole chainring.
I also have a Falcon double bar, British BB, E in second place in serial number, all blue bike with rims, fenders truss rods in blue.
Anyone know who sold these bikes.
There still seems to be a steady stream of old CCM's coming from farms on the prairies. I recently picked up this 1941 CCM Ivanhoe motorbike that surprised me because it is the first CCM Ivanhoe that I have come across, and the serial number indicates that it is a 1941, which is late for any of the separate CCM headbadges. It has high grade equipment on it (Dunlop W.O. rims and Gibson pedals), but only a one-piece crank. It may or may not have come from the factory with this crank.
