Well not exactly what I hoped for, but good info thanks, any ideas how to straiten a rim?

Well i spent a week cleaning up the old wheel that sat for 20yrs, I spent $50 on replacing broken and rust frozen spokes for the 250 rim which was a pain to find, waited two weeks for delivery ordered the tire it only took a week, by then had the 250 rim laced put it on the truing stand found...

Yes the tire I took off says 3.50-18 and the new tire says 4.00s18 4p.r. The bike is a 1975 honda xl250 the rim is off a 1975 xl175 I'm building a cafe.

Can I put a 4.0 tire on a 3.25 rim? its a Dunlop k70.

Ya I think xb is right, I'm going to just drill out the threads completely and weld a nut on to replace them, thanks for the ideas

Anyone know what size would match up to the xl250, or where a lost of sizes might be?

Can I put CB Tensioners on an 1975 xl250? my normal adjustment system is stripped out

Ok thanks for the info!

Does anyone know what years and models of Honda(s) will mix and match? I have a 1975 xl250 and need a new back tire, rim and break assembly among other things, I found cl100 with just frame and wheels for cheap but not sure if they will fit straight across, or any parts for that matter, sorry...

Hey Just wondering, I noticed from the early picture before the build and comparing the end result the back main bolt that holds the tire on is in backwards is that intentional? sorry probably a noob question but I know nothing about bikes I just got my first one found a 1975 xl250, needs some...
