I have an alloy front rim for sale $50 OBO Good condition just needs clean and polish

A front hub $20 same condition (disc type)

A front hub with disc, axle and speedo drive $50 OBO

May have some decent spokes too.

You might be able to make it work, but the angle on the spoke holes will likely be wrong for a drum hub. What type of hub is it?

I'm running an XS1 front drum and have laced it to an 18" rear XS650 alloy rim, which is of course drilled for a drum hub. I bought the hub laced into an XS650 front rim, and the holes had been drilled to allow the spokes to go on the right angle. The nipples didn't seat properly though in the rim - I'm sure it was fine and was run like that for who knows how long, but the 18 rear works like a charm.

Hey Mortikan,

Sort out whether it will work for you and if you are still interested shoot me a line and I'll send you a pic.


Cheers,
Steve

Take a look at my XS650 project thread to see the XS1 hub laced into the 18" rear XS650 alloy rim. I ordered stainless Buchanan spokes/nipples from East Coast Wheels. They just needed to know what hub and what rim I was putting together and they made the spokes. Cost me $80 or so per set.
