Rear wheel!

Oli Webber2025-08-21 14:21:43
Hi! I am looking for a 700c rear wheel with drum brake, 130mm hub width. If anyone knows of where to source one / can point me in the right direction / has one for sale please let me know! (A little bit of background - I have been given a 1980's tandem that is in need of a little repair. The rear wheel is an Atom hub, 5 gear, that is locked in place and very rusted). Thank you!

Hi Oli, Firstly, welcome  to the tandem club I joined in about 1980, and for several years we were active members with two young sons then, but as time passed and they grew up and got married, we did less and had a break in membership until we rejoined approximately 2018 as we repurchased our original tandem which my eldest son suggest we could have as a rebuild project , but the tandem was in a similar state to the one you have. it's a Peugeot which I have had totally rebuilt there's now only the frame that is original ,so that I also have all the original bits, but to cut a long story short the bottom line is that I was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2020 and I'm 83 years old I can no longer walk unaided let alone ride a bike so you will understand my current position. my address is 31 Chaytor Road, Polesworth, Tamworth, Staffs  B78 1JP. we are about 2 miles from Junction 10 on the M42. 

 All that is needed now is to get rid of a lot of the clutter that I've collected over the years. I've also got the tandem and an ebike along with a Diamondback hardtail and all the paraphernalia that goes with them.

I look forward to meeting you. take care. Brian 

PS sorry for the delay in getting back to you .I suspected somethng was wrong it was my fault as I'd put your email as hotmail.com not. co.uk
