Rear hub issue - 550 k3

<< < (6/9) > >>

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

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?

I may be able to hop out to the shed sometime and look for any spare hubs amoungst my collection of bits. Will not be a fast option as I have a broken foot and am doing what I can for childcare to ease the burden on my better half. However I should have a few spare hubs / wheels as I try to stockpile broken ones to fix at my leisure if they come up cheap with cracked liners - something I enjoy the challenge of fixing on my lathe. I may have taken a chance on a rotten wheel with poor description that has a good hub or something.

hunterso:
Thanks Matthew

That would be really great.

Would be nice to get one with a good liner too

Thanks

matthewmosse:
Liners are not an insurmountable job, £40 last time I asked for the guy in Huddersfield to do one, that was a fair few years ago now, I do my own or have done, been a while now. Probably pays for itself in a few sets of shoes lasting longer not to mention stopping that rear pedal pulsing or indeed the peace of mind that a lump of cracked liner might come away and jam the rear wheel.
