Me again, i cant afford a 19 inch disc brake conversion kit so i was wondering if i could lace my rear 16inch drum up to my 19inch rim? Any ideas folks?
well maybe one day ill b a guru, but not right now. I was just going to use the oem 19 stock wheel of an 81 xs650, and the drum of the rear tire, but im going to b poor spending all my money on u punkskalar with that rephasing kit, you think i could just call buchanan's and ask to see if they know the specs and info?
Calling Buchanan's when building a wheel is always a good idea. Great folks over there, and always helpful...
Just remember that if you are using stock 19" front Hoop, that the holes were drilled at a different angle for the smaller hub, and won't perfectly line up with the larger diameter rear drum hub.

I have had a few wheels laced up that is was "ok" but not perfect, but some combinations its just a terrible setup. You really don't want your nipples in a twist (see what I did there ) as it can cause binding in the spoke threads and any potential issue you may have with a wheelset should be alleviated...
Safety first with wheels, breaks, frames, pretty much the whole build....
ya i called them and they told me that like you said i would have to drill the holes out for the drum to fit, so im just going to go with this weird mock up that i made in paint
