stainless spokes
« on: October 10, 2011, 09:28:10 PM »
I'm looking to rebuild the wheels on the cm200. How do I choose the right spokes for this bike? It has an 18" rear and 19" Front? Do Hondas pretty much use the same spokes or would I need bike/year specific spokes?

You would need the correct spokes mate, its the hubs that are different.

These folks, while pricey, can probably fix you up with the correct stainless spokes.

Shew they are a bit pricy. They had cb listed but no cm. I will give them a call and see what they can work out for me.

Aren't they still available from Honda?

Looks like the rears may be, but not the fronts. $2 each.  Stainless from Buckys would be nice.
