Contiuning on from the last post I have changed the axle of the front Raleigh wheel.
All I did was remove the axle from the new purchased Maillard hub and then I installed it into the Maillard hub already on the wheel.
The left one is the old chewed axle and the right one is the newly purchased axle that came with a hub. The same as the rear wheel I did in one of the earlier posts, I degreased and cleaned the axle and hub before installation.
Once clean, apply a good amount of grease then the bearings before the axle.In this axle there are 10 bearings each side all measure at 1/4 inch.
A final step after installing axle, cones, washers and nuts is to then measure both sides of the pertruding axle and make sure there is an equal amount on both sides. The photo above shows that and I had about 1.8cm of axle on both sides before finally adding the lockling nuts.
Here is the finished hub with installed axle and all the components.
The wheel may not look perfect but does function properly.
A final note: I have added the photographs of the Equipe barn find and the partically stripped frame in the previous (#7) post.
