Honda-SOHC

The science is sound Dave so I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. In this instance I’m in the hands of a pretty experienced wheel builder.  I’m looking forward to seeing it for myself and will definitely post a pic.

..... Always. I’m sure something will turn up at some point

Are you 100% sure he said the rim and not the hub eg brake lining. It's quite common to see the hub liner cracked and you may have misinterpreted what he was trying to convey.

Definitely the rim. The hubs 100% and it’s been relined, new bearings the lot. I’d waited an age to get it back from the Chromers. It’s doubly annoying because we checked them out to make sure they were true but didn’t register any cracks until they came back for fitting.
The whole idea of having a spare set of wheels has become a bit of a black hole!

What, the rim has cracks in it

Apparently Julie......Hairline. I haven’t inspected it myself but the wheel builder is adamant they’re dangerous! Old age.....I know the feeling!

I guess you get what you pay for! I’ve also just been through the whole carb thing and come to the same conclusion as Charlie. (Ironically we have the same model) dodgy ebay kit. Oddjob called it....Leave the jets alone!
She now runs like a new bike. Happy Days!

I think Ive grasped it now. The corresponding bolts are 19 and 20.

Sorry! Doubled up on that! I’ve just looked at the left mount and that needs tightening too....I need to get the threadlock out!!
