Mikes Rims

[Wally]

I want to change the cafe to spoke wheels but I dont see (or im BLIND) a matching pair of rims to buy at micks??????

I want to do the same wally, 18" front & rear will be my choice with ss spokes. What sizes are you going with.?

 

[Wally]

Part #34-1903 this is his new front
But i see no matching rim for the rear on his site

The way its looking i will have to go 19/18 VM type rim,, Bugger

The stock rear wheel uses a 2.15 18. Mike's rim is a 2.15 18 but fit a front hub. Jst use a stock rear wheel and lace Mike's rim to the front.

Nice bike wally. I have a set of heritage hubs I could sell you... but the shipping to Australia would bee steep...

Thanks
Check out my header flanges

Seems the only choice from Mikes is
front WM 2.15x19x36
back WM 2.50x18x36

If you don't have any stock wheels what are you going to lace those rims to?

lol... guess im not the only one confused leo

well fare enough
I have Hubs from a xs,,, rear hub does not have the break switch
I need rims to spoke them up

 

[XSLeo]

The switch in the rear hub is the switch for the brake warning light. When the brake pads wear enough the switch closes and turns the warning light on. I see no use for that.
The brake light switch mounts up on the frame and is actuated by the brake pivot shaft.
I might look around local to you and see if I could find a stock 18 inch rear wheel.
It maybe hard but it might be cheaper than ordering from Mikes.
