Fleetwing front brake?

[trialrider17]

Maybe I should put this here .I have a double sided front hub which I think is from a Fleetwing ?anyone have any ideas if it is and if anyone wants it it is for sale .It also has flats on the spindle maybe for the Leading Link forks ?

No it isn't. It might be Royal Enfield Constellation - but I'm not certain about that.

The Greeves "Twin Six" brake looks like this.(This picture is in the Book)

Fleetwing front brake

There were two types of twin hubs , one with two plain hubs and one with an aluminiun cover over the drums making it look full width .

Colin ,What made me think it was a Greeves was this quote from Chris Goodfellow above and also a photo in your book of a 25D Fleetwing (page 53) also on the forum are photos of the same bike with a close up photo of the front hub which looks the same.I can not find it now on the forum but it is there somewhere.

Ouch!

Sorry folks! I took the picture of the Fleetwing and another appears in the book. Showing that brake (just about). Clearly you're quite right, Simon.

Forgot all about it. I'm getting dafter. (Well, I have just bought a Scott...)
