p.s. to be clear, bike is not mine, I have made adapter plate for him)

That's a nice clean build he's got there, did he also use the dnepr flywheel?
Is that an Ural 18 inch front wheel on there?

[numuzmar]

yes flywheel is from Dnepr, front wheel from Ural but its 19 inch, rear fender also from Ural, front fender IZH planeta, gas tank obviously JAWA, spring-loaded seat IZH-56, rest is dnepr

[Tetronator]

Must be the tight fender that made me misjudge it, Aren't the Dnepr brakes better? Because those have dual leading shoes, right?
Looks good tough.

[numuzmar]

right! but those are dual leading Dnepr brakes

[Tetronator]

I see.
So Dnepr also has single leading brakes, is there an easy way to keep the 2 apart? And does the dual fit into the single wheel hub?

[numuzmar]

red is Dnepr dual leading, Ural is partly the same
green K750 single leading
blue М-72 single leading

they all fit to all soviet opposite wheel hubs

Allright! This will really help when I decide the stopping power isn't enough with the stock K750 brakes. Thanks!
