British Bikes / Re: Villiers chain ?
« Last post by 33d6 on July 31, 2024, 09:11:51 AM »Renolds have got more and more frustrating to deal with. From being remarkably helpful at their local premises they steadily got grumpier and grumpier until finally closing their sales counter telling us to order Renolds products through general retail chain outlets. You can imagine how enthusiastic the retail outlets were to stock an obscure chain size that only sad obsessives bought. That’s why it’s out of stock. No firm can afford that. I had to buy a full box to get mine. As all my bikes use 110044 it worked out very nicely for me but for buyers only wishing a length for one bike it’s a real pain.
Sorry I don’t have a happier story.

British Bikes / Villiers chain ?
« Last post by R on July 31, 2024, 06:41:47 AM »My lil' Villiers needs a new rear chain.
125cc 9D
From previous discussions here, it needs to be a 1/2" x 3/16" x .335"
(Which is not the same as a 420 at all.)
Terriers used the same for the primary drive (clutch), but are quite short.
Renolds appear to have made this - as 110044, mostly out of stock it would seem.
Bantams used something similar - although maybe not as the .335 ??
Is Villiers Services the only source of this.
Postage is quite a chunk these days, unless something can be sourced closer to home ?
The new sprockets are strategically stamped with this 335 detail ...

British Bikes / Re: Dunelt and Barnstormers
« Last post by cardan on July 19, 2024, 04:56:49 AM »No numbers, because the blipping thing is still high in the air. If I were doing anything with the bike, I'd just leave the gearbox as is, unless it was no good in which case a Sturmey Archer FW could go back in.
I'm pretty sure the gearbox in the Miller electrics illustration is also Albion, something like this one https://auctionet.com/en/3007648-albion-gearbox-england-1920-30s . If so, funny that it appears in an advert telling us that all Dunelts use Sturmey Archer 3-speed gearboxes.

« Last post by 33d6 on July 19, 2024, 03:11:20 AM »It’s frustrating isn’t it. There are overtones of FW but not enough. Could it be a preproduction jobbie or a prototype FW. There’s not enough detail to tell.
The current Albion should be easy enough to identify from its makers number. Famous last words I know. Supposedly Albion only made two speeders up until 1926 when their first three speeder appeared. Could you locate the makers alphanumeric id number for us Leon? It’d be a great help.

« Last post by cardan on July 18, 2024, 03:06:37 AM »And here's the advert mentioned by 33d6, showing a gearbox that is not Sturmey Archer FW (fitted to most model Ks). I suspect it's also not the box in the Adelaide bike.
Any idea what it is? The bike is flat tank, so maybe 1926-7.
