Wanted 8” thick flange front hub please
« on: 25.07. 2021 21:04 »
As per previous posts I have the incorrect hub to go with my tls brake plate. Looking for suitable  8” thick flange front hub if anyone has one they want to part pound notes for or any leads on one.
I’ll go eBay if I have too but know there’s some good folk on here who like to help and encourage young enthusiasts like myself
Thanks everyone

I probably have one, but if it were me, I'd consider instead replacing the backplate with a TLS one that fits (there's a Triumph one that slots in - got one on my GF). Remember changing the hub means new spokes too, as they're different.

Thanks RDfella I’d appreciate it if you’ll have a look to see if you have one. I’ve been told this is the best brake to have, obviously set up with the correct hub. I don’t mind investing in this as the bike has lots of sentimental value to me and I’ve thrown lots of cash at the thing already. Just want it right now and get riding it and enjoying it.
Thanks again
