Also, it's very common for owners to upgrade the wheel and brake system to Cleveland wheel and brakes (like Grant just did, like I did, like Richard did etc. and etc.) so maybe you'll be lucky and someone prior to your ownership already converted yours??

I seldom look at the Classified Ads section of the Forum, but I just happened to do so tonight. Here are a couple of pictures of one of my wheels. The other wheel was OK. I still converted both to the Cleveland wheels and brakes.

You cannot see the condition of the center hub of the McCauley wheels unless you remove the tire and tube. DO NOT forget to remove the valve core and let all the air out before you disassemble the wheel.
