Small hub Minor wheels

Hello fellow enthusiasts! After taking the very old tyres off my '31 Minor wheels in preparation for bead blasting and powder coating said wheels, the rims of three of them are found to be perforated with rust. Has anyone any useable 19" small-centre wheels they could please sell me so that I can get the chassis to be pushable around? With centre bright cover over the protruding nave present if possible please? Can collect. Thanks so much. Nutty Nige

Morning Nige,

If you get nil (or less that three) response, I can help you source new rims and spokes - provided your hubs are sound.

Hello Ian
Yes, the naves are sound so that's very helpful. I also have a tame wheel builder in town through my motorcycling connections. Any other old bike types in the Vintage Minor Register?

Yes - in fact our newest member is David Clarke who has a fascinating pre-war motorcycle collection. See 2nd October story on the website. I can put you in touch if you like.

We always have a good selection of pre-war bikes at Pre-War Prescott.

Brilliant stuff, Ian please do? No-one could call this club parochial, good eh?
