Amelia Squariel: Wheels again...
http://ariel-square-four.blogspot.com/2013/08/wheels-again.html
Friday, 16 August 2013. I make up four wooden blocks to lift the rim off the board to the correct offset. The brake drum, which I use as the datum, is placed face down on the board. And that is it. There is a much more sophisticated version of this idea in Frank Farrington's excellent book 'The Vintage Motorcyclists Workshop'. So here we go. Set the hub up on the jig:. Add the blocks to establish the rim at the correct offset:. Start adding spokes according to your lacing pattern. Working on the upper an...

Amelia Squariel: Matchless G2CSR Article
http://ariel-square-four.blogspot.com/p/matchless-g2csr-article.html
This article was first published in Real Classic Magazine, June 2011. In the Beginning…. Eventually, when I was 16 my Dad and I bought a Casal Phantom 5 moped. It was a great little bike – my mates had FS1Es and AP50s and a DT175MX and we used to race down to Epping Forest every Sunday. As the years passed, I moved on to a CB125T, a CB250RS and then a CB400F, but there was a growing sense of dissatisfaction. But I did know that I’d bought a Matchless, it said so in the advert and it was on the regi...

http://ariel-square-four.blogspot.com/2013/03/puzzled-of-norwich-writes-on-subject-of.html
Saturday, 16 March 2013. Puzzled' of Norwich writes on the subject of Brake Rods. Out here in the hinterlands of East Anglia, the winter has been hard and long and devoid of much motorcycling weather, so we have had to content ourselves with small jobs we can do inside, or snatch brief interludes of inner (shed) calm amidst the fun and excitement of family life. However, since that interlude came today, I have had it fitted to the bike. Here are several shots showing it in place:. So, another day. an...

Amelia Squariel: Cables & Cable Making
http://ariel-square-four.blogspot.com/2014/02/cables-cable-making.html
Friday, 14 February 2014. Cables and Cable Making. Since the dawn of the bicycling era we have had the Bowden flexible cable. Your typical old motorcycle will have several – for the front brake, the clutch, the throttle – and maybe for the back brake, an air slide, a decompressor and the magneto as well. You might recognise this as something like a Bantam clutch cable – though Bantams have the adjuster mid-way along the length of cable, not at one end. So there are several cable sizes in use:. You’...

Amelia Squariel: Spend a night in the box...
http://ariel-square-four.blogspot.com/2013/03/spend-night-in-box.html
Thursday, 28 March 2013. Spend a night in the box. No man shall have worn mainshaft bearings. Any man found with worn mainshaft bearings spends a night in the box! No man shall be missing his kickstart stop. Any man found missing his kickstart stop spends a night in the box! No man shall forget his lubricant. Any man found forgetting his lubricant spends a night in the box! One of my favourite films, Cool Hand Luke. The gearbox which is the subject of this article is a 1951 BA from a Mk1 Ariel Square Four.
