EddieV Posted September 19, 2022 Share Just arrived .... Some Tektro R559's - Long reach 53-73mm dual pivot brakes. For the really old road bikes where you can just-about fit a fist between the seat-tube and rear tyre . Allows space for some nice wide gravel tyres.

EddieV Posted September 29, 2022 Share I'm about to force a stuck vintage BB shell off a 70's Le Jeune. Sprayed some anti-corrosion potion in/on there last night, and ready to try again. Axle/shaft is out, drive side is not budging. Just want to confirm - does all Le Jeune's have English threaded BB's? Don't want to be rotating it the wrong way 😑 Edited September 29, 2022 by EddieV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to be rotating it the wrong way 😑 Hi Eddy, I assume the BB cup(s) you have in the frame are not stamped 1.37 x (English) or 36 x Italian? If you have removed one of the BB cups and the other side is stuck check the diameter of the cup removed. Eng cups are smaller than Ita )+-34.8mm for Eng and 36mm for ITA. Another easier method is to use another set of BB cups with the ENG 1.37 x stamped. If the cup screws in it's Eng, if not Italian. Always remember for Italian the "righty, tighty and lefty loosely". Post a few pics or call me for assistance. EddieV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffsVintageBikes Posted September 29, 2022 Share Far as I'm aware, all SA Lejeune's will be English. Easiest way to get that cup off is to clamp it in a vice, hit it with a heat gun and then rotate the frame. That gives you a lot more leverage.

Loose cog Posted October 12, 2022 Share Hi all, Help! Where can I buy a 1" ISO 24 tpi die. I have searched and hoping someone in the technical realm could steer me to a tap & die supplier (preferably in the Jhbg area). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
