Title: Hercules 212 rim source?
Post by: basementhercules on February 05, 2019, 01:00:31 PM

Hello, all. Just joined.
I'm cleaning up my '54 Hercules Model 212 98cc...and my biggest need concerns rims. The ones currently on the bike are paint over failed chrome. The only reference I can find, is that the tire is a 26X2.50. They're 36 spoke. The rims themselves are a touch over 22" in diameter.
Anyone have a source? I've been deep into the internet, with no luck - I know there's a Hercules club based in Germany...thought I'd try here, first. Thanks!

Try CWC in Brum. It won't be a Hercules rim but they can probably supply rims to suit your bike.
