I don't think the angle would be too crazy for the stock front wheel. I believe proteal is running a 21 up front with no issues, but he might chime in on that one. At any rate 16/19 should be ok.

thankyou guys, much appreciated.this site makes things soooo much easyer.....(having great brains to pick through)

Thats the same lacing pattern as normal - double crossover, 10 sets of 4.

I'm lacing up a 16" rim to my CB500/4 rear hub right now. I'll try and get some pics and info tomorrow.

PT....what size rear tire you running on that 750???

Later,
Greg

16'' rear with a 130mm Avon Venom X tire out rear --->

21'' front --->

Total package --->

Eventually plan to go with a wider 21'' front wheel , to get some "chunky-ness" back to the front-end.

I actually like the contrast you've got going on between front & rear widths. It kind of reminds of a true californian look veedub

Another of my passions

I have searched and found great information on lacing the 16" rim the the 759 hub. I laced it no problem per the directions I received with the spokes and just like a photo I found on SOHC. My problem is, it seems that I have done something wrong as the spokes appear to be too long. ...or since it is a drop center rim will it be OK? ...check pics. I have not tightend the spokes down but they are at the bottom of the nipples and are still not tight enough. I'm afraid there will be problems with the tube if left this way. ...What do you guys think?

definitely a problem... you need spoke tension on all spokes in order for the wheel to actually be a working wheel. aside from that you'll still need to consult the conversion gurus.

Tiek101 · « **Reply #83 on:** October 18, 2006, 04:48:39 PM »

Your right, and if I tighten the spokes down I think I'll have spoke sticking out though the nipples. I can't see how this could be laced differently than I have it either.

Roach Carver · « **Reply #84 on:** October 18, 2006, 05:29:24 PM »

I am sure you know this BUT, dont the spokes alternate inside / outside through the hub?

Tiek101 · « **Reply #85 on:** October 18, 2006, 05:39:30 PM »

Well they normally do but the guy I got the spokes from said they all go from outside in. ...I may unlace it and try in and out. ...dunno

Tiek101 · « **Reply #86 on:** October 18, 2006, 05:55:20 PM »

I just received an email from the guy I got the spokes from and it looks like I am one hole off in my pattern. Guess I'll take it apart and start over. I knew it was going too well for my first time.

Ernie · « **Reply #87 on:** October 18, 2006, 06:18:30 PM »

my notes from MMI... i pay 10,000bucks and you get to reap the benefits

i hope this helps someone out there

ohiocaferacer · « **Reply #89 on:** October 18, 2006, 08:03:49 PM »

I just laced a 16 to my CB500/4 rear hub......and put those spokes with the big kink on the outside. Alternated the inside/outside spoke pattern of the original wheel......laced/trued up perfect.

Just looked at your pics....what does he mean one off??? Your right on the numbers with your spoke holes.

If I can get some time....i'll post some pics.

Ernie · « **Reply #90 on:** October 19, 2006, 03:36:28 AM »

ohiocaferacer · « **Reply #91 on:** October 19, 2006, 04:50:26 AM »

Heres where I got my info on lacing the 16" rim to the honda hubs......tons of info and pics. Goto the section on wheel lacing.

Heres a pic they had of the 750 hub:

I'll try and post pics of my rim tonight.

Later,
Greg

suppose for the sake of argument he gets it laced right and there is still too much spoke poking thru,cant he grind the extra spoke length down and be done with it.

Tiek101 · « **Reply #93 on:** October 19, 2006, 12:09:09 PM »

That's exactley what I am about to do. I have it lace again...the only way I can see it could possible be laced. I think I'm going to tighten everything down, see if it will true up and grind them off. My only concern is if there is enough threads on the spokes to get it tight.

Ernie · « **Reply #94 on:** October 19, 2006, 01:30:14 PM »

how long are your spokes?exactly

mine are 89 mm or 3.5039370079 inches outside bend to end. and according to the package they are for lacing a 16'' drop center rim to a honda cb 450 500 550 750 hub with drum brakes.somthing to compair too might help

Tiek101 · « **Reply #95 on:** October 19, 2006, 01:58:18 PM »

I wasn't sure where to measure from. ...see pic click for biggin:

Ernie · « **Reply #96 on:** October 19, 2006, 02:07:57 PM »

after measureing mine twice and scrutinizing the picture it looks like yours are 1/4 '' longer than mine srry i donno what to tell ya cept true it up and gring em off but check the more experienced guys first $:-\$

Ernie · « **Reply #97 on:** October 19, 2006, 02:12:31 PM »

also mine only have about 1/2'' of thread and yours look like about 11/16ths in the picture $:-\$ on mine when you put the nipple on the spoke and run it to where it runs out of thread,the end of the spoke is flush with the bottom of the nipple (not in the wheel yet)

Tiek101 · « **Reply #98 on:** October 19, 2006, 02:40:16 PM »

with these spokes if you run the spoke in the nipple until it bottoms out (not mounted) about half of the total threads stick out of the end of the nipple. I'm about to give up and get new spokes.

Ernie · « **Reply #99 on:** October 19, 2006, 02:44:14 PM »

im sorry brotha I donno what to tell ya but one of these other guru guys will chime in hopefully
