\"CT<\/a><\/p>\n

Always a hot topic whenever owners meet, the Sunbeam 3-speed crash box gearbox is not perhaps the bike’s crowning glory. Whilst the original Marston gears did last surprisingly well, most are now “long in the tooth” with wear causing all manner of engagement and selection issues.<\/p>\n

Stepping up to the plate once more, the redoubtable Chris Odling is planning to produce\u00a0a small batch of new gears and I, for one, will certainly be purchasing a couple of much needed sets for my own bikes.<\/p>\n

Here\u00a0follows the note received from Chris…<\/p>\n

“I have commissioned\u00a0 new gear sets for Sunbeams. These are for the narrow and wide sliding pinion gearboxes. There will be BT and CT ratios manufactured. All those interested in a set please contact me to place an order. Delivery dates will be announced shortly. It is envisaged that a deposit will be required near the point of completion and following receipt of the gear sets I will ask for the remainder and deliver them. Final cost of a gear set is not written in stone as yet, but expect around \u00a3490.00<\/em><\/p>\n

The number of gear sets presently ordered is 20, of which a few are already allocated. This number can be increased according to interest.<\/em><\/p>\n

After the sets have been made I envisage a few spares i.e. sliding pinions and lay shafts.”<\/em><\/p>\n
