Can someone tell me if there's any other differences between the 40 hole hole hub with the brake drum and the 48 hole one? I need to know if there's differences in the cush drive, sprocket carrier, brake assembly, etc.
I'm changing the 16" rear wheel on my 1981 CSR to a 18" wheel, and I thought I could just replace the rim but that's not working since the 18" rims I could find only have 40 holes. I thought I could just replace the drum/hub part but I don't know if the brake and cush drive from the 48 hole hub will fit on the 40 hole hub. Any help is appreciated.
