GY6 engine Swap
Difference in rear drum brake size - 110mm vs 130 mm on a 12 to 13 inch wheel.
"I got a 1p57qmj long case gy6 150cc with the rear drum brake setup, I need to get a 12" or 13" rear rim for it, but what are the drum dimensions and drum depth I need for the rim? I know my short case I side drum diameter is 110mm but I'm not sure about my longcase. I tried using my 139qmb rear rim but drum hub diameter was just a touch to small." - JT Boatwright
"Iv'e got this wheel off a 150 long case . It's 13 inch . The drum inside diameter is 130mm and the depth is 30mm . Give or take a mill ? I only had an old faded Chinese made plastic ruler." - B. Bamforth
