Hitchcocks Forum

Hi all,

I have an Indian Enfield Diesel I imported from India to the UK. I am trying to get her on the road and MOTd etc so I can use her here.

I have a problem with getting the front wheel spacers bearings etc to space correctly so that the front wheel doesn't lock up. I have all new components but it still will not play ball. If anyone lives nearish with rebuild experience, id appreciate some advice/help.

Thaks chaps,

Steve

Cant remember the name but isn't there a Classic bike shop in Burton or a bike shop that does classics. I know there used to be if still there perhaps they can help?

Found it it Burton Bike Bits sadly it appears now though they only do mail order not sure if they do repairs? Maybe our hosts can help if its sent to them?

I cant get down there but if you could get it up to me in Notts by trailer? I can compare it to mine and we can sort it out no probs.

Burton Bike Bits closed his shop quite a few years ago & moved out to set up a mail order only business.

manfingers hit a send button!
there was a place in derby, on Osmasto Road i think but for the life of me I cannot remember the name

Thanks chaps. pd110961 where are you in Notts? I could easily bring the wheel and bearing, spacers etc over to you if you are not too far away. Otherwise I was going to take it to Hitchcocks, but then id no doubt end up buying a new wheel lol
