hub questions
I posted this in C & V and got zilch for a reply. Anybody over here?
I'm steadily going through my most recent acquisition, an '84 LeTour Luxe, bringing it up to speed. Both hubs are marked Model '71 Made in Japan. Anybody know what these are? The front axle is very small and so far I'm unable to find cones small enough to fit it. I left my caliper in México along with my other tools, so I can't accurately measure it.
