fork ends. The rim should be trued as accurately
as possible, the maximum permissible run-out
both sideways and radially being plus or minus
1/32 in.
Fig. 5 shows the difference between the lacing
when using Dunlop and Palmer rims. The key to
correct lacing is the inside spokes to the large
flange on the cush drive shell which must slope in
the direction shown in Fig. 5. With the Dunlop
rim this spoke goes to the middle hole of one of
the groups of three (see paragraph 14) and the rim
must be built into the wheel so that these groups
of three holes are on the right of the centre line
when the cush drive is on the left, i.e. the inside
spokes to the large flange cross from the left to
the right of the centre line.
With the Palmer rim the spokes from the large
flange on the cush drive shell go to the more
steeply angled holes in the rim which must be on
the left of the centre line when the cush drive is
on the left, i.e. none of the spokes crosses from
left to right of the centre line.
17. Tyres
Standard tyres are Dunlop 3.50-19 in.
Universal tread except on the "350 Bullet" where
a 3.25-19 in. Universal tyre is used.
When removing the tyre always start close to
the valve and see that the edge of the cover at the
other side of the wheel is pushed down into the
well in the rim.
When replacing the tyre fit the part by the
valve last, also with the edge of the cover at the
other side of the wheel pushed down into the
well.
If the correct method of fitting and removal of
the tyre is adopted it will be found that the covers
can be manipulated quite easily with the small
levers supplied in the toolkit. The use of long
levers and/or excessive force is liable to damage
the walls of the tyre. After inflation make sure that
the tyre is fitting evenly all the way round the rim.
A line moulded on the wall of the tyre indicates
whether or not the tyre is correctly fitted. If the
tyre has a white mark, indicating a balance point,
this should be fitted near the valve.
18. Tyre Pressures
The load which the tyre will carry at different
inflation pressures is shown below:
19. Lubrication
A greasing point is provided in the centre of
the hub barrel. Unless the barrel is packed full
with grease on assembly (which is apt to lead to
