Need further SPECIFIC rim info

[Dr. Frankenstein]

Hi All;

Not to beat a dead horse, but about the rims: can anybody please tell me, what angle do the spoke holes need to be for a 1962/1964 CA77 so those big honkin' hubs will fit onto a new rim..?

And they ARE 36-hole, right? So ideally, a new rim should be 16x3.25, 36-hole, and...(spoke angle)??

Does anybody know the spoke angle??


I MAY be on to something, but I need this specific information, especially any spoke angle specs...


And again, to review:

1964 CA77 305 Tires/Wheels

RIM: 16x3.25
Tire: 3.25x16 (yes??) OR 110/90-16 ??
Spoke Angle: ??


Is this correct...?

Thanks!

John,
The wheel size and the tire size are two different measurements.

The stock tire size for the Dream is 3.25/16

The correct rim size for that size tire should be 2.15" also called WM3

I believe the 2.15" is actually the dimension between the bead surfaces of the rim.

A 110/90 is probably too wide for a replacement size.

I'm not sure about the spoke angle.

This is the type of information you need to quote. The spoke pitch on the hub relates to the spoke angle.
