mattylad Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) The TLR and RTL machines had a rear drum brake with the nipples attached at the drum end. Were they unique to these models or were they fitted to other bikes. Edited July 15, 2013 by mattylad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2fargone Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 The TLR and RTL machines had a rear drum brake with the nipples attached at the drum end. Were they unique to these models or were they fitted to other bikes. ...only the Rtl tubeless type wheel had nipples attached in the hub. The earlier Rtl and Tlr 250 shared the same hub. (Bloody good hub too). The Tlr 200 had a different hub altogether. Cush drive type. The only exception as far as I know is one of Eddie Lejeunes last works bikes which had a drum brake/tubeless tyre arrangement ( with spoke nipples at the drum end as you describe) just before he got discs on it. Unless I've read your question wrong I think that's correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
