Wore out three sets of tires already!
Hello all. I am working on my ladies '61 Raleigh Superbe with hub dated 61 3. While servicing the S A hub I noticed that the drive-side doesn't have the spring "cap" that I have seen on many of my S A hubs. I have found this before and thought it odd but was fairly certain this item hadn't been lost as it seemed the hub had never been opened. Perhaps this was missing from another early sixties S A hub. Has anyone else found this to be the case from a certain era of S A hubs?
I am attaching an image of the driver and the parts that I cleaned up from the drive side. The part I am speaking of would be a small round cupped "washer" that fit over the end of the spring placed against the bearing cage or cone. I have also checked a spare hub with a 61 date and it too had no spring cap. Is this normal for this time period? Seems to be. I know in the 70's this piece went from metal to plastic.
