Cast front wheels

Post by Scotsman »

Hi there,joined the forum to ask a question. I have a 1961 orange wheeled super major with pressed steel front wheels.
I've got the chance of a pair of three spoke cast wheels in good condition,but minus bearings.Will the bearings in the steel wheels fit the cast ones? TIA.

Hi, I don't think they will fit, also you need to remove the hub too I think. Ive never got involved in steel wheels on a major. Anyone else care to add anything?? :D
Oh yay, look, another seized bolt! Lets get a hammer.....and some kano.....and some cider!

The bearing are the same for either wheels ,just take the bearing out of your hubs and put them into the cast wheels.Liam
