Title: NOS Rolled rear rim?
Post by: kettle738 on October 11, 2010, 03:29:05 pm

I recently bought a NOS rear rim which I had intended to use on my early K2.  I confirmed with the well known Honda part supplier that it was a genuine Honda part and not a modern production item with the rim details stamped round the outside edge of the rim.

When it arrived I was slightly amazed to find it appears to be a rolled rim, identical to that on my K0 and markedly different from the straight edged front rim.

There is a slightly puzzling feature though; the DID logo is as expected in a small diamond adjacent to the valve hole, however the rim size details (2.15 x 18) are nowhere to be seen, so it is just a plain rolled edge rim with a DID logo in the correct place and no other features.

Is this normal or should they all have rim details stamped in........or have I missed something?
