A: In answer to the first question: in principle, yes. You do not state the make of the five-speed hub but from the description all you will need are nuts that fit the jaws of the turbo trainer. They need some sort of cylindrical face shaped similarly to the head and nut of the quick-release skewer supplied with the trainer. If those that come with the hub won’t fit, try Tacx Axle Nuts. They are made with a choice of 10mm or 3/8in thread.

There are several useful sources of old or replica decals, including H Lloyd Cycles of Penrith (hlloydcycles.com), who can supply decals for Reynolds tubesets. Search for ‘Nigel Dean Classic decals’ online and you will find a seller in France offering them on eBay for around £20 for the set.
