My '38 Paramount seems to take a 90mm over-locknut spacing for the Paramount hub. But, I'm cheating and using "Superior" axle set instead of Paramount. The difference is that the Paramount used "floating" cones located by pairs of locknuts, while the Superior used conventional threaded cones and locknuts.
Does anyone know what the factory spacing was for these bikes? I'd rather set the fork right and adjust the hub, than vice versa.
Thanks! harvey sachs mcLean VA _______________________________________________
