Subject: [CR]Bluemels and Sturmey Archer questions

Hello everyone,

I have two questions: -When were the Bluemels Club Special (made of celluloid) mudguards produced. I have installed these on a 1937 cycle because they just match so dang well! Is this "correct"? -I would also like to know about the integrity of the Sturmey-Archer alloy shelled hubs compared to the steel versions. I have heard that they had a problem "blowing up". Does anyone have some experience/opinions here? I am going to use a SA hub on a rider and want to make sure I use a durable hub. Thanks for any info.

Best Regards,
