Tire Rims for an Atlas

jms · Nov 17, 2023

Anybody ever hear of lacing an Akront shouldered 1.60 (WM1) x 19 rim to an Atlas from hub and an Akront shouldered 1.85 (WM2) to the rear?

3.25 x 19 Roadrider on both or maybe 3.60 x 19 K81's?

No on WM1, that is too narrow. Tire will not lay right.

Yea I agree. Not sure why the previous Owner would have done that. Anybody know of the best place to find a WM2 40 hole x 19 shouldered alum rim?

Ebay, and a lot of patience for a NOS 19" Akront undrilled.
Buying a drilled rim by itself is risky.
The drill pattern is the same for front and rear Norton drums.

Atlas would have had an 18" rim on the rear, so the spoke hole angles are slightly different from the 19" front.

WM2-19 shouldered alloy available from Steadfast cycles, Bonneville shop, Ron Fraturelli. WM3-19 from ValterMotoUSA (eBay). All drilled for full width drum brake Norton hub.

Here is a pair of Atlas configured wheels 18" rear, 19" front. My own brakes etc, US$1250 + shipping if interested, they bolt directly into your Atlas forks and swingarm
