Title: Rolled rims
Post by: sandyrun on April 16, 2015, 09:55:55 pm

Does anybody have good pictures about rolled sandcast and K0 rims? there is so many stories, about perfect round rolled rims, and less rolled rims, is that true?  I have low vin 800x  K0 with rolled rims, they look original, but not sure if they are same with sandcast model? and correct for sandcast restoration? thanks for help.    ;D

Hi
Not sure I've ever heard of other than a rolled rim on early bikes. There are different rims on later bikes but only one rolled edge rim. Some of the less than reputable sellers try and pass off a 2 hole hub wheel as a Sandcast but they are very different rim profiles both on the edge and the centre spoke hole section. Given your low VIN I would guess you have a (one type only) rolled rim

I had another thought. How about you post pictures of what's on your bike and we can then advise.
Cheers
