Q.D. REAR WHEEL COMPLETE
A complete quickly-detachable (Q.D.) rear wheel assembly for Triumph, catalog number 37-1496.
This is a complete quickly-detachable rear wheel assembly, listed in the catalog as Q.D. REAR WHEEL COMPLETE. The Q.D. (quickly detachable) rear wheel setup was a Triumph design that let the wheel come off the bike without disturbing the chain or brake linkage, which made roadside tire changes and repairs a lot less of a chore than a standard fixed hub.

The part shows up under the alias W1496, which is the earlier letter-prefix form of the same catalog number. Our record only ties it to a single catalog appearance, so we can't speak to which specific model or model years it was cataloged for beyond that.
Because this is a complete wheel assembly rather than a single component, give us a call before ordering so we can confirm what you've got matches what's coming off your bike.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
