Title: 18" wheels
Post by Dave on 02/28/21 at 16:05:51

The front wheel is an Excel 2.15 x 18, the spokes and nipples are stainless. The hub was put on a lathe and the casting flashing was removed, and then polished. The hub originally was machined to work with narrower fork - the brake disc clearance has been reset to normal with an aluminum insert behind the brake disc.

The tire on the front rim is a Bridgestone Battlax BT45 90/90-18. It has a date code from 2013 and has plenty of tread - I can remove it before shipping the wheel if you don't want the tire.

The brake disc is stock Suzuki that has been drilled and powder coated.

The rear hub has been machined on a lathe to remove all the flashing and then it was polished. The rim is an Excel 2.50-18. The wheel was laced and used for a couple of years - then I went with a wider rim on my Cafe't bike. I have a couple of spokes that broke - the folks at Buchanan Rim and Wheel suggested that all spokes needed to be replaced as they could have been over stressed when the other spokes broke - so all spokes were removed....there are 35 nipples that can be included.

Here is another photo of the rear hub and rim.

One more photo that shows the brake drum side of the hub.

Here is the link to Buchanan so you can check current prices:

http://www.buchananspokes.com/categories/rims.asp

The front rim is currently $241, the spoke/nipple set is $109, the labor to install the spokes and true the wheel is $112......so you would spend $462 to get this front wheel set up on your hub.

The rear rim is currently $242 from Buchanan. It needs a nipple/spoke set at $109, and if you pay them to true the wheel it is another $112.....it will therefore cost $221 to have them finish this wheel for you.

I would like to keep this all as a matching set. I will sell everything for $450 and that includes the brake disc - you pay shipping. I can ship everything thing to you - I could also ship the rear hub/rim to Buchanan if you want them to lace and true the wheel.

There is a considerable amount of work in polishing the wheel hubs - and the other parts are listed at less than half price.
