Title: Cb550 rear wheel identifying cracks...& values
Post by: andy120t on May 27, 2021, 08:16:23 AM

Hi,
I've been offered a 550 rear wire wheel whic I might pick up for one of my projects. I know they can crack on the liner - Does anyone have any piccie of this damage so I can ensure I spot if it's there? I've found one in an earlier thread but it's a close up so I'm not clear where the cracking can occur.
- is it a steel insert/ liner (that the shoes press on?) rather than the wheel itself?

Also, any thoughts on a ballpark figure? I'm assuming it will be average but usable condition, so some surface rust, but OK inside.

Any other thoughts / comments on things to be aware of happily  received!

Thanks!
