305 wheel hub?

#1 PostAuthor: Adrian90s » Tue Feb 26, 2019 2:10 pm

Is there such a thing as a 305 rear wheel hub to match the 305 rim?
I'm asking because I have a replacement hub to fit to my 303 rim and a spoke set I have bought are the wrong angles.
If it makes sense
My front is an existing 305 rim/wheel, I wonder if I have another complete wheel on the front.

Hi Adrian
I guess you have a Z1A... in that case you need a 303 front hub (with six holes to attach the brake rotor),303 rim and spokes and a drum brake hub with a 303 rear rim and spokes.
A 305 front rim (with 4 holes for the disc brake rotors) needs a Z900A4, Z1000A1 or A2 front wheel hub , at the rear you need for a Z900 A4 a 303 rim and drum brake hub .
For a Z1000A1,A2 you need a 305 front hub with a 305 rim and spokes, at the rear you need a 306 or 307 rim and a hub with a disc brake and the appropriate spokes.
A bit confused? Don't worry, you'll learn it after a few restorations :D

Thanks Phillipe
Definitely a 305 rim on the front, will count the disc fixings later, but sounds like a newer front wheel.

As Phillips has said
303 rims - Z1, Z1A, Z1B
305 rims - Z900A4 and z1000A1 and A2.

A 305 front rim may work with Z1 6 hole hub, but not what I would use. As not correct and may effect resale value.

You have also got the added headache of the date codes on the rims.

Not to many date headaches, frame/engine numbers miles apart.
Just want original parts but not pattern.

My front rim is a 305 with a 6 hole hub. Obviously the rim is newer, but it must have run for some years like this.
