How do I determine the hub size on a CL77

Post by TheShadow619 » Wed Aug 10, 2016 11:04 pm

I have a 1966 Honda CL77 Scrambler 305. I need a set of spokes. I find that there are 2 different hubs, 8 inch and 10 inch. Where do I measure the hub? The inside of the hub where the brake shoes are measures 8 inches. The outside of the hub measures 10 inches. I'm confused on where to measure. There's not much info out there. I think 66 is an early model, which I believe has what is referred to as the 8 inch hub.
Can anyone tell me where to measure properly? Thanks for the help.

If you brake backing plate has one arm you have the 8 inch.
If it has 2 arms and a rod connecting them you have the 10 inch.
You do not have the early model. .................lm

Thanks guys. That was very helpful!
I do have the 2 brake arms with the rod connecting them.
This is one of the last things I need to finish my bike. It's been driving me crazy.

Thanks again.
