Hi again folks, sunny Vancouver Island cafe racer man checking in.
Is there a cast rear wheel with a drum brake I can use on my 77 roadster (standard)?
I would prefer a 18 inch but would use a 16 inch if I have to... I have today swapped the front wheel from spoked to cast because the spokes were creaking! I had a cast wheel for free and once the discs were swapped over and new bearings installed it was simply a matter of taking the tyre off and refitting it.
I now have a cast wheel on the front and a spoked one on the rear. The spokes on the rear wheel are in a better condition as they get a regular soaking in chain oil but it would be nice at some time to have a cast wheel for the rear as well.
What might fit!
