Rims and spokes specification -55, 18s

Post by westlake17 »

I am rebuilding a basketcase -55 18S. Rims and spokes are missing. (I do have the original hubs) Does anyone know the correct dimensions?
Rims part no are 012220 front, and 021814 rear.
Spokes part no are 021152 front, and 021691 rear.
I was thinking of buying new brittish chrome rims and stainless spokes, and the company I contacted asked for dimensions, but I have nothing to measure...

Cant help with dimensions but try Central Wheel as advertised in Old Bike Mart and other mags. When they did mine they told me everything I needed to know.

Hi Mats

I just took my bare hubs to Central Wheel in the UK and they built them up, as they knew the correct spec, dimensions etc. Please email me if you need to know more. Regards - Brian
