Hey there, new to the forum as an official user but VERY guilty of reading without participating. Have gotten out of some real tough ones which were made simple by all you on here plenty of times.
So, I have a pretty simple question I'm hoping to get some guidance on. Theoretically, could you run any make/size brake drum on any make/size wheel provided you have the right length spokes, and matching axle sizes? or is there more to it than that? Can I lace any old drum to the wheel I've already got? Any easy(ish) to find drums for 3/4" axle?
I've always just run no front brake, but I've decided to run a drum this time on my hd springer, hand shift + foot clutch xs650.. mostly just don't want to leave my fate in the hands of that famous yamaha rear drum when it comes time to stop on a hill.. and DEFINITELY don't want to run a disc!!
