Front Wheel
FRONT
WHEEL
The front wheel
as
fitted to all models requires very little maintenance beyond
re-packing the hub with grease every 10,000 miles (15.000 kms.). The wheel bearings
are of the ball bearing type and therefore require no adjustment. The rim is 19" in
diameter (WM2-19) fitted with 3.25
::
19" tyre, and the hub consists of two parts,
the hub itself and the brake drum.
It
should be noted that the spokes have specially
angled heads, ensuring sturdy wheel construction. Four separate head shapes are
used and replacements should be the same as the originals. The brakes are internally
expand~ng to

&
TRS) and an 8"(20.32crns.)
