Does anyone know the size of the O-ring used on the old Huret Multito odometers? I can't convince my wife to put a cyclometer on her bike, but she would like the odometer function.
Thanks,

Mel, ask in the vintage section, Someone there may have an answer. As cheap as o-rings are you might get a handful that look like they will work and give them a try.

I have used standard O-rings for many years on my Huret Multito; they have them at Home Depot but any store that sells plumbing supplies should also have them (including those "O-ring assortments": use the big O-ring for your Huret (or Sachs-Huret) Multito and the small ones to keep dirt out of non-sealed bearings).
The exact size I use is: #89. Dimensions are 2-3/16 x 2 x 3/32 inches which is thicker than the original Huret belt and thus more durable; you can get thinner ones if you like also. The other info on the package, in case you want to get them direct from the manufacturer or otherwise, is: Stock Number 35705B, UPC# 0-37155-35705-5, Danco Company, Concordville PA 19331, Made in Taiwan.
I've recorded close to 144,000 miles on my Multito and now I'm looking for a spare lower pulley (the one that attaches to the hub), which cracked and fell off a few days ago. I can still run the belt on the protruding part of my Normandy hub which is a little less than the appx. 1 1/2" diameter of the pulley so the odometer will read low; if I can't get a replacement I'll just mold one out of epoxy.
