Just bought an old pashley picador

[Tharg2007]

might not be for a while, waiting for wheels, also will only ride this one in dry weather.

We have the tandem version of your picador. It's wicked. And a bit rubbish.

Hilldodger, about these hubs, would it be easy enough to replace the wheel with an alloy one? would it fit on the axle? do you sell wheels?

If the hubs are ok - ie, no play on the axle - then just get the wheels rebuild with alloy rims on the hubs. You can go for a metric 406mm size wiich will be easier for finding tyres.

If the hubs have play in them they will gradually get worse until the bike is unrideable. The hub bushes will then need replacing and that's when the fun begins. We'd need to have the machine to do the work.

The problem with these old Pashley's are the rear hubs. They have a plastic bush inside them and once they're worn getting new ones to fit is an arse.

Don't ever ask Pashley for them because there's no guarentee they'll fit. We now make our own.

We do parts for them and refurbish a few every year but we've moved over to the much better Mission trikes.

Cyclemagic sadly closed down (they were great BTW)

For advice and sourcing parts @mickle may be able to help.

We have just bought a very tired looking pashley picador my husband as some work to do.
Our question is should the back tyres be solid rubber? ]

No, but maybe someone has fitted 'airless' tyres.

 

[TheDoctor]

That was my first thought too. Which would be odd, as the rear wheels on a trike are easy to change tyres / tubes on.

 

[Embr377]

Thank you very much it needs a lot of work but now we know will order right parts

I have one of these too. A red one I bought from our local hub. They stripped the electrics off it so it's just manual now. It's lovely for a slow leisurely tootle.
Cant wait for Halloween. I'm going to be billy the puppet from saw haha.
