Thanks for that Spanners.

What do you think about those wheels?

Can I just take off the right front rotor and put on my chrome hub?

Do it, you can cover the other holes and fixing that possibly damaged pulley thread is no biggie either.

I prefer the cast wheels as its no drama when you get a puncture.

As the pulley goes on with a bolt/nut combination I'm not really worried about threads in the hub.

I'm not sure I understood you.
On the front wheel can I just takeoff the right side rotor and put on my chrome (ish) hubcap?
I keep seeing a distinction in the magazines between a single rotor and a double rotor front wheel so I didn't know if I could do it.

As far as I know the only difference is that one has threads both sides and you can use the chrome dome to cover the unused ones but I can measure my twin disc cast hub for you if you wanna be totally sure.

Thanks but I looked at mine and I don't think it will work.

I'll just keep looking.

I appreciate all the input.
