New to Dream. wheel question

Post by GiveMeYourBacon » Wed May 27, 2015 11:56 pm

i recently acquired a 63 Honda Dream 305

the front wheel is damaged so i went to my local yard to look at wheels

They only have one ca77 in the yard and several ( what appears to be ) ca160 bikes

i now the hub is smaller and will not mount to my bike on the ca160 wheels

HOWEVER,,,, will the outer rim work? can i use the outer rim from the ca160 and fit the hub and spokes from the ca77 wheel into it? or are the nipples and holes and everything different.

If the hub is smaller, the spoke angle and probably spoke length will be different. Stick with CA77 or CA72 parts.
