K7 Wheels
« on: October 29, 2015, 12:16:02 PM »
Hi all,

couldn't find anything on the forum about K7 wheels, (so apologies if it is there somewhere....), so firstly, can I fit wheels from another model (i.e F2 or other)? & would it make any difference as the K7 has a 17" rear wheel (why??)?

reason is my wheels are not in great condition & rear, K7, wheels difficult (& expensive)to get hold of.......

cheers

Isnt the K7 a drum rear brake? If so only complete drum rears(spoked), that is complete with brake plate and spacers

You can always check the rolling radius of the tyres fitted to the K7 and earlier models.
The 17" tyre looks taller in the sidewall, so is probably similar enough to an narrower 18" tyre not to worry about.
