Hi all,
I have a set of 36 hole Suzue hubs that came off some Araya 7x 24" rims, the hubs are both dated 6 G (1976 July).
The front axle thread is 8mm (5/16") compared to the standard 10mm (3/8") I have read that this was common on mid 70's to very early 80's. Also the rear axle is longer on the drive side would this indicate that it had a cassette?
My question is what bike would these of been on? A roadbike? - did the front dropouts accept a smaller axle bitd?
Cheers
MrD

Found this info on the museum :shocked:
If the rear is 3/8", then the front is probably 5/16". This was quite standard in the 70's and early 80's.
