Well after my incident with my aero and some idiot driver, I have resurrected my pride n joy. Replaced the fork, inner plastics and rear blinker pods. Put it together and found that my front rim is bent.
So here's the question, I noticed that I have drum brakes in the front, and all the bikes have rear drum brakes. Is it possible that I can use another bikes rear rim to replace my front rim? Could I just put the drum hub onto the rim and PRESTO! Anyway just wondering. Would save me some dough.
Are the rims interchangeable?

Re: Are the rims interchangeable?
rear rims usually have splines built into the center of the rim, front rims do not.
best bet is to find another compatible front rim.

Aero 50, 87 elite 50 , 88-93 elite lx/sr use the same front rim. The upgrade is the 94-01 elite 50 which gas the larger front bakes. You need the rim and hub together. Or you can upgrade to the even bigger arnada front rim and hub brakes. 95mm elite s - 110mm arnada
Nothing like getting stroked!

Re: Are the rims interchangeable?
Alright thanks dood. I ended up tossing the bent one and picked up another S rim. Now I had a roll with bad luck getting the tubes to stay airtight. I've tried twice and failed twice. I put holes into both tubes while trynna put the tire back together.
I noticed that the tire I have says TUBELESS on it??? Hmmmmm can the elite S rim use a tubeless tire? No tube. Just put an air valve where the hole is for the tubes valve. Can it work? Is it possible?
