Im in the process of trying to rebuild my 69 Murray eliminator 24x20. The rear wheel is a 24 inch with a Shimano 333 hub but it was incredibly rusty and had bad bearings. I couldnt find parts so I tried to buy them. I just bought a like new wheel that had been recently serviced by a bike shop the only problem is it has the Shimano 3s hub. Is the 3s hub compatible with the 333 Shifter? My bike has that nice 3 speed shifter standing up in the middle and I would hate to lose it.
I do have a supposedly NOS 333 Hub and new Wald 24 inch rim, so I could get a wheel built. The only problem is I dont know if it really is new because it has some light pitting in a few places and a little rust on the gear. Considering its off eBay someone may have passed a nice looking old one for a NOS. I called around but no one wants to be involved taking the hub apart to check it. Mean while the 3s wheel and hub look like I just bought them brand new, I mean like gorgeous almost unused looking condition.
