Help needed...
As you can see, the bike is on my workbench and I have other machines that I have work on... So...
Does anyone local to me ( I live in Long Sutton, south Lincolnshire) have a suitable QD rear wheel that I can borrow for as long as it takes me to get the AJS off the work bench and wheeled down to my garage, where I can take the wheel out again and return it?
I will collect and return it promptly or the owner can deliver it wait the few minutes that the job will take. I will, of course reimburse any fuel costs.
Thanks, John

I have a wheel that would suit and that you could borrow until you got yours back but unfortunately I am based in West London. Perhaps we can get it to you via another member.

Re: Help needed...
Do you not have another AMC single with the same hub (the one with the pretty points cover)?
Can you not use that?

Unfortunately, the 350 doesn't have a QD rear wheel. The two aren't easily interchangeable.raffles wrote:Do you not have another AMC single with the same hub (the one with the pretty points cover)?

Re: Help needed...
Clive... Thank you for the offer. While I live in Lincolnshire, the lady in my life lives in South Ruislip so I'm not a million miles away from you at least a couple of weekends a month. If more local help isn't forthcoming, I'll get in touch with you before my next trip south.clive wrote:I have a wheel that would suit and that you could borrow until you got yours back but unfortunately I am based in West London.

Re: Help needed...
ok the wheel has a bearing that seems to be seized but for your purposes it would be ok as with a bit of grease it should rotate round spindle provided you don't nip it up too tight or leave out one of the spacers. You will need to collect it before the end of Jan as I am off to NZ for the rally. I'm in Hanwell so South Ruislip is close.
PS it looks like you have a bearing missing in the QD drum too!

Re: Help needed...
Umm... what bearing would that be, Clive? There is only one ball race in the rear sprocket (part no. 021598). That I've replaced and it's secure behind the dished washer and circlip.clive wrote: PS it looks like you have a bearing missing in the QD drum too!

Re: Help needed...
Hello I have a suitable wheel that you can borrow as i am not yet at the wheel building stage.
As i live in Boston its not far from you - happy for you to call 01205 310348.
There is a really large club section in Lincolnshire but most don't use this forum.
Happy to help.
Steve

Re: Help needed...
Great, the system works! I wouldn't put your phone number on a public forum though, better to send a PM. ( I also have a suitable wheel but unless he's got another girlfriend in Lancashire......)
Cheers Dave.
