Beamish Wheel Questions

[djr]

hello, recently purchased a tatty but rideable beamish suzuki 250, have just removed the rear wheel to replace the rear sprocket and noticed that the cush drive part has been welded to the hub and also one of the wheel spacers is a piece of plastic pipe !

I am sure that the plastic spacer is a bodge but does anybody know if the welded up cush drive is a proper beamish modification or another bodge

{the welding is good quality which is unusual for a lash up}

Also the wrong front wheel is fitted {it has a 7 inch drum which would be great for road racing but is a bit heavy for trials}

does anybody know if the correct wheel is the same as any other suzuki models {i was thinking maybe TS100 ,TS125 perhaps ? }

thanks in advance for any answers

The standard RL250 rear wheel does not have a cush drive sprocket it is a fixed hub. Same wheel as the the '75 RM125M/S and the '76 RM100/125. The same hub is used in later model TS125/185's B/C/N/T/X from '78 thru '81 at least but the TS wheels use a chrome rim and not alloy like the RL. Cheers

thanks to VMXSC for that info,

so it looks like BOTH wheels are the wrong type .

I am afraid so djr. Wheels do come up on Ebay or the Beamish Owners Club website from time to time.

Hi there.

Can you tell me if this is a beamish wheel?

It was fitted on my Fantic but i am sure it is not Fantic.

Its sat in my loft now.
