Hi all, brand new to the forum. And to motorcycles in general.
In short, I busted a spoke and it damaged the rim enough that I might need to buy a new wheel. I've been reading a lot about people replacing the standard front disc hub with a drum brake and I'm wondering what is the advantage to that? I thought drum brakes were not as good?
Also, as far as wheels with discs go, I'm not having much luck finding a good used cb125s front wheel. Are there any compatible ones from other models I could swap in? I heard CB100 and 175 might be compatible, but those all have drum brakes from what I can tell.
Thanks for humoring this newbie!
