My 62 model 24TD has the single sided front hub with fixed backplate ie front of bike comes up when you put the brake on. Would like to fit a new rim to smarten it up but my brother has dug out of his garage a full width alloy hub as fitted to later models . My question is this - is this an easy conversion and is it worth it? I know I would have to modify the fork leg to take the torque arm bolt by drilling and fitting a support tibe between the two plates that the fork loop pivots on. Hopefully the drawing exists for the torque arm. Also how do you clamp the wheel in the loop yet keep it loose enough to allow the backplate to rotate as you apply the brake?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
