Title: Club Tour Hubs
Post by: Chris M on September 30, 2013, 12:18:25 PM

Hi

Can someone tell me the front and rear OLN on a club tour please?  I'm thinking of buying a frame and need to know if my current wheels will fit  (front 100mm and rear 135mm OLN).

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Hi Chris, and welcome to the Thorn Cycling Forum!

Yes, the Club Tour will accept standard hubs, 100mm front and 135mm rear, so your current wheel should fit with no problem. This, according to pg. 6 of the current Thorn Club Tour brochure: http://www.sjscycles.com/thornpdf/ThornClubTourBroHiRes.pdf

Thinking of a new frame? Exciting stuff! As you go forward, you'll find the Forum a wonderful resource for any questions that may arise.

Best,

Dan.

Many thanks Dan

I'm hoping to buy the frame within the next day or so. I currently ride a Trek 7.3Fx that I've upgraded over the years to a full XT spec so will use these parts to build up the frame. I had planned on just new wheels for the Trek, they're currently being built by Dave Hunt at DCR; DT Swiss TK540 rims with XT hubs, one thing led to another and a new frame is in the pipeline...happy days!
