Hey everyone.
I’m looking for spoked 19” (or bigger) front and 18” rear wheels. Another option would be just front and rear hubs because I have a set of wheels I could re-lace. I am located right outside of Milwaukee, WI.
Let me know what you got!!!! Thanks in advance.
Looking for a little guidance. I hard tailed a 1978 XS650. I wanted to use a front wheel from a 72 (first picture) but the shaft is different than my 78 (second picture). Any suggestions on how to get the front wheel on my 78? Seems like the hub is pressed onto the shaft. I can switch the forks...
@fredintoon THANKS for the reply. I know the back wheel is on backwards. I threw it on there to take some pics of the situation.
The back frame would have to be stretched a bit, there is quite a bit of difference. The axle diameters seem right. The front axle has space for a thinner fork...
Hey Everyone. Pretty new to the site and really new to these bikes. Picked up a 1979 basket case from a guy and went with a TC Bros hard tail. Picked up some wire wheels from a guy who said he had them on a 79 project as well. Had them shipped to me and went to put them on to start my build...
