hello all,
looking to convert my '78F to spoked wheels and wondering if an earlier F spoked rear hub will fit my bike.  have searched but no-go as yet.  my actual goal is to lace a wider rim to the early F hub, if it'll fit my ride.  has this been accomplished before?  thanks in advance,

this is great!   ;D

one last (i think) question.  i am hoping to lace up a 2.50 x 17 "K" rim and mounting the fatter "K" tire size of 130/90 - 17 to the F1 hub.   

has this been done too?  i may have to source an F1 swingarm, which are narrower.  are they too narrow for my intentions?  many thanks,
bobp
