Comstar wheel question

(1/2) > >>

Seamus:
Curiosity question really,
I have seen a few later Hondas with Comstar wheels and wondered if they can be refurbished/rebuilt like their spoked equivelants.

Thanks

Seamus

SteveD CB500K0:
Bit of a pain really.

The "spokes" are steel and the rims alloy. They are riveted together.

I understand that you cannot take them apart.

Bryanj:
Honda say that they cannot be dissasembled, but back in the 70's there was a firm that made alloy discs with holes in to dolt on instead of the steel spokes then you could lace a "standard" rim on. This worked out about 80% of the cost of a new comstar so was only just about worth it

Seamus:
Thanks for the info. I was looking at a few later Hondas and the thought just struck me as the wheels do really add or detract from a nice bike.

Cheers

Seamus

Hagon apparently offer a repair service for Comstar wheels....
