    '80 GS550 sprocket carrier disc/drum?

    Does anyone know if there is an offset difference in the sprocket carriers between a '80 GS550 disc brake mag wheel and drum brake spoke wheel?

    Joe I cannot tell you an answer to that. But I do have a spoked wire wheel on the rear of my '77 GS550B model and if you would like me to take any particular measurements then I can do that for you. Just let me know if I can help.

      That would be great if you could. The measurement I need is from the lip on the hub to the back of the sprocket. I've got about 1-1/4" and need closer to 1-3/4". This carrier lines everything up with the disc/mag wheel, but the drum hub is narrower.

          Well Joe I am totally confused. I thought you wanted to change out a mag wheel with disc brake for a wire wheel with a drum. But I see in your picture you are showing a wire wheel with a 1 1/4" measurement. So I don't know what's happening.

          Anyway I took the same measurement from the hub lip to the inside of the sprocket and that measurement on my bike is 1 3/4". Just what you wanted apparently.

          Let me know if you need any more measurements or help in any other way.

            Yes, changing a bike from a '80 mag/disc to a spoke/drum. The drum is from a '73 T500. A big thanks for the help, as I got a '78 GS550 spoke/drum carrier on ebay, and it's just the right offset I need.

            Here's the GS carrier on the left and T500 on the right.

              OK I understand now. Glad you got it fixed and the GS part works for you.
