Rim Sizes? |
|

|
My Nuovo Falcone project came with a WM2-18 front rim and a |
|
WM3-18 rear rim as detailed below. I suspect that at least one |
|
of these rims is not original given the Akront / Borrani |
|
mis-match. |
|
Front Wheel: Akront 18-1.85.36-S-118S |
|
Rear Wheel: Borrani WM-3/2.15-18/36 RM-01-4402 |
|
Are these the correct widths? The parts manual seems to |
|
indicate a WM3 for the rear, but I don't see a specification for |
|
the front. |

Unfortunately, I can't check the zizes, as mine have been |
|
restrung in stainless (same both ends I think) |

That's interesting huub; why would they have different part |
|
numbers if they're both the same I wonder... ??? |

|
Angle of the spokes might be different, and thus the angle of |
|
drilling of the rim. |

Thanks for the replies! I'm planning to replace the current |
|
Akront and Borrani rims and will likely stick with my current |
|
WM2/ WM3 front/rear setup in conjunction with a 3.25 width front |
|
tire and 3.5 width rear tire. I'll probably use Takasago Excel |
|
flanged rims, which look very similar to vintage Borrani rims |
|
but are substantially stronger. |

I'm resurrecting this three year old thread, but did you ever go |
|
ahead with your rim change? If so, do you have details on |
|
replacement rim type and model, and spoke description? The |
|
wheels on my NF are abysmally rusty and I want to swap them out |
|
for something else. Not really sure where to start. |
