Guys and Gals
Got some rear spokes with drums and they came with rims on no tires. Now the stupid question, how does one remove the rim? All clamps and bolts are removed and they do not want to come off the wheel.
Thank god I never had to change a flat on my 27 I assumed removal of clamps would release rim and rim would slide right off.
Now I see in my Dykes instruction page 598 15th edition that it does in fact slip right off, something may be rusted together.
please help.
Thanks in advance

Well !!!
answered my own question. a few wacks with a 10 pound hammer they came right off. time to evaluate.
Are the rear wheels wider than front? front measure 2.25 wide and rear that I have measure 2.75, is that a 28 rim?
thanks

Pre 27 are 2 1/2 across the inside of the rim. The 28 is a full 3 inches across the inside of the rim. The 28 rim is split and uses the 440/450 X 21 tire. Other than trucks, the front and rear are the same size. Second thought. The 28 rim will not fit the 27 disc wheel and vice-a-versa. The keeper will not be drawn up against the rim and hold it on.

Guys and Gals note one wheel is wider, is this 1927 and 1928. beat up one is rear. is rear wheel width always same as front for that application? if it is would 1928 rear wheel fit 1927 axle and rear end and I then would just install 1928 tire and rim? I was told it (older rim beat up etc) was from a 1927 chevy. Is 1927 Chevy truck rim same? I was told car and 1/2 ton truck same wheel. 1 ton truck is different? ![[Linked Image from home.comcast.net]](http://home.comcast.net/~cpaxirs/pwpimages/CIMG0371.JPG) thanks Ken 45145

Ken, go back and read some of your answers and if you still have questions, then please ask them.

Ken,
The black front wheel in your photo of the two wheels side by side looks like a 26/27 wheel. Provided that the rusty back wheel is 21" diameter, it is probably a 28 wheel. If it is 20" diameter it is probably a 29.
Yes, a 28 back wheel will fit a 26/27 axle - the hubs are the same. Front wheels are not interchangable between 26/27 and 28 though.
26/27 cars here are usually fitted with 450-21 tires. 28s here usually are fitted with 5.25-21 tires, which are both wider (to suit the wider 28 rim) and about 1 1/2" bigger in diameter. Although probably not recommended, it would be better to fit a 4.50-21 tire to a 28 wheel used on a 27 to maintain the same tire cross section and wheel diameter than to use the larger tire. When I bought my 26 one of the back wheels was a 28 wheel fitted with a
4.50-21 tire, and I know another owner who ran 4.50-21s all round on his 28 with no problems "because he already had them".
If you are really stuck and have access to a fair sized lathe and have the necessary hubs, it is quite feasible to convert a wood spoked 26/27 back wheel to a 26/27 front wheel and vice versa. The same goes for 28 wheels, but you can't convert a 28 wheel to a 26/27 wheel.

Guys and Gals do these look like 1927 1/2 ton spokes and if so are they the same as the car spokes for 1927 ? ![[Linked Image from home.comcast.net]](http://home.comcast.net/~cpaxirs/pwpimages/what%20is%20it.jpeg) Thanks everyone Ken 45145

Just for information. Down here in Australia, the standard wheel supplied on ope cars (95% of our cars were open) is wood spoke panted black, 1st option was wood spoke varnished and 2nd option was disk.
