DUST SHIELD,QD WHEEL
Dust shield for the Triumph quickly-detachable (QD) rear wheel hub, part number 37-1038.
This is the dust shield for the quickly-detachable rear wheel, part number 37-1038, also listed in older books as W1038. It shows up in the catalog under the Quickly Detachable Rear Wheel figure, which tells us where it lives - down at the QD hub itself, keeping road grit and dust away from the bearing area inside that hub.

The QD rear wheel setup was a Triumph feature that let you pull the wheel without disturbing the chain or brake, and this little shield is one of the small parts that makes that whole assembly work cleanly over time. It's not a glamorous piece, but a hub that's missing its shield tends to let more dirt into the bearing than it should.
Our catalog record on this one covers appearances from 1960 through 1964. We don't have anything more specific tying it to one exact model, so give us a call or check your parts book if you want to be sure it matches before ordering.
