Oddjob

Pm'd you but i dont know if it sent. Its not showing in my sent items.

Let me know if you received it or not and i will re-send if necessary.

Thanks

hunterso:
Does picture 1 not show what you need to see re the earlier cush rubbers fitting?

I will take a better picture and upload for you.

mickwinf:
I have a spare sprocket carrier but not sure if its a K3 type or earlier type or if they are the same, I do know the main hub and brake plate are different on the K3, will look later tonight

mickwinf:
sprocket carriers are all the same, I have a good one,  cush drive rubbers are different on k3.

hunterso:
Sorry for the delay. Not had time to think about this

Thanks for that mickwinf

So to sort my existing wheel.

This will mean buying a sprocket carrier and retainer ring etc and i will still have the problem of the cush rubbers - which aren't available…
….and the lining has crack in it. But thats not too bad.

So unless i can find cush rubbers it looks like i need to wait for a good used hub/wheel to come up.

Which could prove to be a pain.


So, the question is:
Can i use an earlier hub in my swinging arm as long as i get the brake plate etc with it?
Am i restricted to looking for CB500/550 or can i use another hub, eg. CB400 CB750?

Would be nice to get one that you can still buy parts for.

This will involve lacing my rim up to it.

Its times like this i feel like i need to buy a donor bike :-/

So has anyone got a good wheel or hub that would suit?
Or cush rubbers for a K3


Anyone?
