Wheels

For tyres, tubes ‘n’ tapes click here; for brake rods and pedals click here, for pivot pins click here. For snail cam chain adjusters click here.

Each wheel fitted to BSA’s has been given a ‘type number’ in order to simplify the parts listing. The chart below will, with reference to the table below that, tell which wheels should be fitted to a particular model. The first type number is for the front wheel and the second for the rear one. Ascertain which wheels you should have and check the ones you have against the description in the table or find the description that matches the wheels you have and note the type numbers. The parts are listed under each wheel type.
All ball bearings that we supply are of the sealed type making the old felt or rubber seals redundant.

Use the part number to order – “Wheel type” is not required except where indicated.
The wheel types have been revised since the last catalogue was issued.
