Hello all I have a set of sturmey archer hubs with drum brakes. They were in non working shape when I got them, I want to use them on a new set of rims I put together for a build. My question is can anyone help me with making sure they work properly, I don't want to build a wheel around them and not have them function properly . I seem to have all the parts I think, I just want to learn more about them through a hands on experience. If anyone has time to teach a kid i am willing to learn .
i have a early 1970's mustang and hoping someone can tell me what is the correct size for the front tire.Think the rim is a twenty inch.Are there original tires still available?Thanks
I acquired this reflector in a box of bicycle parts. I am wondering if anyone has information or know if thia is a CCM rear early teens reflector? Any info would be helpful
Hi guys,
I am having difficulty trying to remove a triplex crank.... I have tried many different types of pullers, but none will grab securely under the arms... Any thoughts? Or tools that I could purchase?
Thanks, Dave
I think all of us with older 28" rim CCMs have found it challenging to find suitable tires. I have several times found comments from ccm owners wishing they could find a taller tire to better fill the gap between the wheel and fender.
Hi, I am working on a mid-60's CCM, and I have F12 rims on the bike. However the front and rear rim profiles are different. The rear rim has a flat V shape, and the front rim has a rounded central bump, of the Westwood rim style usually seen on rod brake roadsters, but also on early CCMs. In searching for parts, I have come across two other bikes with this same configuration of F12 rims with this odd installation.
I found a old bike at a scrap yard. It looked like it was in to good of shape to let it go to waste. I've been fixing it up for personal use. It's rusted off any making but it looks to me like ccm. It has a Merten seat that says it's made in Germany. I did find the serial number it's rusted but from what i can tell it's A95281.i was just wondering if anything could tell me about this bike and what year it is
Hello all, I have acquired a wartime 1944 ccm roadster. I seem to have a problem with a lug that goes into the bottom fork that holds the screw for the fender. It has come out!!!, I was wondering what the best option is too fix this problem. Also on a side note does anyone have any literate regarding the war time ccm, I want to know what they came with. Thanks
Hello,
Does anyone have an original catelogue picture or spec sheet for the Formula 1. I just aquired one but it seems to have gone through something of an "upgrade", at leat the bars and brake levers have been swaped out.
Thanks,

Does anyone know what this faded head badge should read?
It appears to have a "ccm" squiggle at the top.
