Just on a guess: You need only pay attention for general interest or to offer
moral support. I've not looked at a Triumph hub either, but the Europa hubs
were not nearly as difficult to deal with as the TR bits seem to be (this
assumption is based on the tales of woe posted by TR-SOLers in this forum).
My belief is that everything in the Europa rear suspension is unique, with the
exception of the brake assembly and the possible exception of the brake
drum. If there are any interchangeable parts, I for one would be
overjoyed to hear it!
