homer hubs info

SaMAlex:
Ah, I see. what you are saying is just the correct name for  the"big thread" and "small thread" that I have been calling it. Nice one, thanks.

I learn something new every day (well, I usually learn more than one! :crazy2:)

darkersomeday:
would it be possible to get some pics of your hub to identify which model it is dude?

the adaptor would be on the drive side though,

i'm fairly certain the george didnt make a "flip-flop" version of that hub,

ie, the hub would be a smaller/metric fitting and the adaptor would screw onto that thread, then the larger/imperial freewheel would thread onto the adaptor,

he'll probably want a pic too though :LolLolLolLol:

SaMAlex:
I mate of mine just got a G-sport rear hub off ebay for 99p.
He said its quite nice. I would think so, for less than a pound!

easyroller:
 I had two of them and stripped away the paint with plumbo on one and found it to be  a permant integral part of the hub with imperial (larger) threading,    i thought about getting it machined down to the smaller thread size as i got pretty good machinist livin up the road but the wall thickness after the machining would leave it very weak , i didn't need two imperial size homer 48s,so i sold it on a forum up here ,so its gone, and the one i still have is actually still at my mates, he built it then went on holidays (he's a forgetful bugger) so sorry no immediate picies available but i will do it when i get it back, would love to keep it  if the attachment thing is correct then i effectively have flip flop style homer hub , granted a lot of work changing back and forth, so maybe i will just get me a MK2 in the smaller metric size to run a dk 12 tooth, would be still interested in finding out about the attachment thing just out of  curiousity.

easyroller:
I see how  you could take the smaller metric and add an adapter up to imperial, . Does this sound right ? yeh like you said darkersomeday , was thrown a bit by the whole attachments thing i read under the post on the bay by a guy selling a curtis frame and bits , granted he did say it was an MK2 therefore you could  go up and also back , but i see you can't go down to metric on a MK1. i think that sorts it out.
