Title: B25 Front wheel
Post by: davben23 on 29 Jun, 2019, 16:34
Hi
I was wondering if anyone could give advice if a B25 front wheel with twin leading shoes would fit my 1967 A65 lightning ?
Regards Dave

I doubt it as its a 7" brake on the B25 and the Lightning is an 8" Brake. Apart from the less braking power on a heavier bike, the anchor on the RH fork slider would probably not make contact with the slot in the B25 Brake plate. Also, the Lightning has a 19" rim whereas I think the B25 is an 18" rim?
I stand to be corrected of course!
