Missing Heliomatic Lockring
I have a Peugeot Versailles with a missing lockring to the rear wheel. I believe it's called a Heliomatic Wheel Lockring. Does anyone have one for sale?

They are usually available on EBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Maillard-he...YAAOSwzL9eOFjE or from The Yellow Jersey Maillard Helicomatic System from Yellow Jersey

I've never owned or used one of these myself, but some time ago I serviced a bike equipped with one, and noticed the lock ring was missing. When I asked the owner about it, he said he had no idea that it was missing, or if it had ever been there as long as he had owned the bike.
Point is, it was functioning OK without it as the steep helical splines keep the freewheel tight against the hub during power transmission.

If you find one, you'll need the tool for it too. But that's okay because the other end of the tool is a handy bottle opener.
There are a few collectors of these things still out there.
