CB500 K1 Front wheel
Nurse Julie:
I've just taken a pic of our 500 K1 front wheel. 19" as standard, 40 spoke.

Thanks for the photo. I’ve got no idea why it has a smaller front wheel. It also had a 550 cylinder block fitted which confused me for a while, but seeing as it was abandoned in a shed for more than 30 years I guess I’ll never find the answer.
Do you think if I went to someone like Central Wheel components I could get a 19 inch rim and spokes to go with the hub I’ve got?
Nurse Julie:
I can't see how that would work, a 40 spoke rim won't fit into a 36 hole hub etc.
Charlie J:
Just wondering if it was possible to get a 19†rim with 36 spokes.

Maybe if you found a British bike rim but then the spoke angle pattern will be wrong I'm assuming. You really need a 19" wheel with a new / correct size hub and disc etc.
