The wheels and crank are not original, but came from a parts bike. The original wheels were wooden. I no longer have the rear coaster which I want to restore.

So do you need a Triplex hanger? I think I have one about and it may be cheaper to ship than having to repair one at a machine shop. I've also got a 1926 Hercules hub. Original headbadge? Could have been a Redbird/Rambler/CCM/Cleveland. Gibson pedals if you want to go all the way. The seat could be recovered as well.

i need tires how do I get them

clubman 

Start with coughing up more info, pictures, wood/steel rims, serial number

T-Mar

Agreed, a CCM Massey could span a 42 year period and cover several different tyre sizes and types. The requested serial number should tell us the year and allow us to determine what was OEM. However, with the bicycle being over 75 years old, the wheels and tyres may not be original. Consequently, the sizing information from the current tyres, if present, would be helpful. If not, pictures of the rims and their sizing info would be helpful.

it has steel rims it is a ccm massey the only number I see is 1C9819 on the back rim it has ccm 37

T-Mar

It was manufactured in 1939. CCM 37 is the model (and date of introduction) of the coaster brake hub.

I don't have a 1939 catalogue but based on my 1938 & 1940 catalogues most of the special models were not available with the Massey nameplate and that should narrow the rim size down to 28" x 1-1/2" or 26" x 1-1/2". What is the measurement of the diameter of the rim?

mhjr5500

it looks like 23 1/4

clubman 

Seeing as there's no 23" wheels, it could be 26 x 1 3/4. Same effective rim diameter as the 26 x 1 1/2, just wider. These were typically found on Delivery bikes. Really, good pics would help, a lot.

mhjr5500

i don't know how to put pics on here but if you look at (my ten speeds bicycles of Canada) and look at ccm roadsters ect the bike is just like that. it was a delivery bike

T-Mar

A 23-3/4" rim diameter is 590mm. This is closest to 585mm outer diameter of the F12 rim, which would be appropriate for a CCM Delivery bicycle. The extra 5mm may be due to measuring over the dish cused by the spokes. The F12 rims were designed for a 26" x 1-3/4" tyre with a 571mm bead seat diameter.

When buying tyres make sure you purchase based on the ISO measurement which is format xx-yyy, where xx is the tyre width, in millimetres, and yyy is the bead seat diameter, in millimetres. This avoids compatibility issues, as there are about eight different bead seat diameters for 26" tyres.

Unfortunately, 571mm are getting hard to find. According to their website, Bikes Tires Direct still stocks Kenda K75 in this bead seat diameter and an appropriate width. They're not the heavy block tread pattern of the OEM Dunlop Carrier tires but they will roll slighter easier and not look overly out of place. @clubman may know of some other options or sources.

It's hard to be helpful to the OP without more info, maybe fluency is a problem? @mhjr5500, take time to learn how to post pics and provide more accurate descriptions. Can't tell you where to source tires without knowing the wheel sizing. Close ups of the rim stampings should do it.

Does anyone have a source for these 1-piece ccm chainrings? I'd rather not buy whole bikes just for parts

clubman 

My basement?
Too bad they're so heavy cuz it would cost too much to ship. There are gazillions of those cranks in Ontario. Go to https://vintageccm.com/ , intro yourself and ask for help from someone in your area.

coffinjewel

Thanks, will do
here's a pic of my 70 something formula 5 work in progress. I'm trying to find a single speed/three speed chain ring for it so I can put a single speed freewheel on the back or possibly go fixed like my CCM elan that I'm making into a sort of path racer of sorts

T-Mar

FYI, a CCM Formula 5 in Racing Orange is a 1971 model. Do you need the whole crankset or just the chainring? I assume you want the standard 46T? For 1/8" or 3/32" chain?

Narhay

My first big kid bike that wasn't a hand-me-down pink splatter purple paint coaster brake bike was this ccm ice.

coffinjewel

Just looking for a chain ring in 1/8th. Im hoping it will give me a decent chain line for single speed. Thanks for the info by the way

coffinjewel

here are my two ccm's and my partners Canadian made Raleigh on the far left. The green one with the basket used to be an Elan that was the first bike I built and the orange is a Formula five that I'm still in the process of getting how I want it. They aren't the lightest bikes and many would say money spent on them is money thrown away but I love them.

I'm ready to bet that i have acquired a tour du Canada. Its thanks to the quality of your pictures that has convinced me. I have been having a brutal time trying to post pics of mine.

T-Mar

I read your post about this bicycle, around a week ago, in another CCM thread and it definitely isn't a 1975 CCM Tour du Canada. Your dropouts are not chromed and do not use the standard Reynold's domed chain stay ends like the 1975 TdC. Also, the patent date on the rear derailleur is 1970. CCM didn't use any Campagnolo components until the 1972 model year. Regardless, I'd appreciate better pictures of the lugs, fork crown and dropouts. Also,what is the serial number?

hmacphee

Do you have any 28" rims still kicking around?

clubman 

That's really too vague. What bike...got pics? There's a number of rims deemed to be 28".

randyjawa 

Picked this up at the dump an hour or two ago. I have no idea what it is or if it is at all desirable...

clubman 

Randy You're the proud owner of a Cadet. The story I know is that they co-produced with someone in Europe in the post war period, hence the cottered crank. Maybe @T-Mar can fill it in?
