Pursang front wheel (cast steel hub type)
« on: February 19, 2009, 09:39:05 pm »
I can't remember which model Pursang it was but one of them had a front wheel that has a cast steel hub. I have one of those wheels that came in a job lot and I have no use for it.
I imagine that lots of these front wheels got taken off and replaced with something lighter so there may be lots lying around. Then again maybe most of them were thrown away and someone is doing a resto of one of that model and they need the correct front wheel.
If anyone is interested in it, I'll post photos.

i use one on my mk 7 250 , i think it,s from mk 5 ( i think mk 5 is the first after the boat tail,s ) i know they are a little heavy but braking performance far outweighs the weight disadvantage over the spray on chrome drums that look the same , had i not have one already i would offer a swap for some ty175 pegs and stand and plates  , i think too heavy for trials(mabey not ?) and won,t fit the frontera,s

Dave, I'm very interested in it. I like that small steel conical hub. Is it mudcatcher rim (probably) or later type? Either way I'm interested.
