Mystery Front Wheel Hub

Post by ianstephens »

Morning All.

This hub was originally fitted to my 1934 Ariel Red Hunter 250 LH when I brought it, but was not right for the bike as it was laced incorrectly to the (correct) rim.

I have since found the right front hub but wondered if anyone knows what bike this one might have originally been fitted too?

Devon rims suggested it might be from a Greaves trial bike???

Many thanks for any help you might be able to provide.

Ian

That looks just like the front hub on my '31 Panther - which I believe is a Royal Enfield hub (the rear has the Enfield cush drive).
But as many parts were common to different manufacturers back then it could have come from anything !

I am with Dave on this. It looks very like the hub which came with my Red Hunter and is now probably on the front of Geoff Brown's 1928 Model C. I did a straight swop with the late John Bryant around 1988.

Thanks very much for the help everyone, really appreciated. Sounds as if it may well have been original to the bike after all!
