Maillard Helicomatic hub & freewheel
I have a Maillard Helicomatic hub and freewheel that needs a new home. I know everyone poo poos them, but there must be someone out there who can use this stuff. Perhaps the best part of the collection is the spoke protector. It's got a few scratches which only became apparent once I removed the freewheel. The visible part of it doesn't appear to be cracked, scratched, or discolored. Apparently, Maillard used high quality plastic here, and skimped elsewhere
. The bearings were pretty much shot (dry and rusty on the LHS), so I tossed them. The QR lever cleaned up pretty well, though as you can see the "Maillard" side still needs a bit more oxalic acid treatment. The "Spidel" side looks new. I don't know if the cones are good or not, but I'll leave that to the recipient to decide. The lockring is a bit bodged because I don't have the "bottle opener" wrench, but it threads onto the hub shell just fine.
Free to a good home. Recipient pays actual shipping.
