Hi everyone !
I'm new on this forum and in the CCM world ! I'm glad I found this community, because I bought yesterday a CCM Light Delivery, found on kijiji.
Here's it is, in a rather bad picture... more to come later !
(Please forgive my langages mistakes. I'm a french guy living in Québec)
Owner sends the following details and photos:
-Corbin Duplex Model 8 rear hub
-wood handlebars
-chain ring details
-crank/bb details
-the only stampings we can find are on the alloy? plugs on the top of
the forks. Looks like J K and then CCM stacked
-rear rim is wood and front is clad
-block chain
Apparently, there is a glitch with the Buy Now button for the 2015 calendar. I apologize for that. Hopefully, it will be rectified shortly. Isn't technology wonderful?

Hello!
I am trying to keep my Concorde as OEM as possible. One of the items on my "Put It Back" list is the front derailleur. It came with a Simplex Prestige. I believe it was model AV 223.
Hi All!
I've been messin' with bicycles for something over 50 years and have never found trustworthy advice about chain & sproket lubrication. Aside from many product suggestions, whether to lube or run dry is always debated.
The members of this group seem to care about protecting & enjoying their bicycles far more than they care about the 'cool thing' to use or do.
I managed to get the crank arms off (thanks for the suggestions!) and I'm starting on the BB. Any tricks to this process? Is the drive side left hand/reverse thread like on most modern bikes? Thanks again.
Hi, I have been working on this problem for some time. I have tried penetrating oil, products called Kroil and Release all, and I am considering heat and other options. I have heard about soaking this in apple cider vinager and molasses and water to remove rust. So far I have managed to knock the wedge loose, but the stem is stuck.
Hi,
I am taking one of these hubs apart, in order to clean it and rebuild a wooden rim wheel. When I took the cog and threaded shaft off, I found that the cages for the ball bearings were totally gone, with just bits remaining. Can I reinstall this with loose bearings, or do I need the correct cages/races?
Thanks! --David Webb
