Front wheel rim (WM2-18)
Front wheel rim, WM2-18 profile, 18 inch, for lacing to a standard front hub.
This is the front wheel rim, part number 37-1373, catalog spec WM2-18 — that's a standard-taper rim in the WM2 profile, sized for an 18 inch tire. It's listed in the FRONT WHEEL figures in our catalogs, so it's the hoop the front spokes lace to, not a full wheel assembly. If your parts book shows the older W1373 or the 18X1.85 form, that's the same rim under a different label.

Our catalog record for this one covers appearances from 1969 to 1970. That doesn't mean it's exclusive to those years, only that's what shows up in our records — a WM2-18 rim of this type may show up in other catalog entries too. Rims of this style are built for spoke lacing to a standard front hub and take a wheel bearing set and spokes to complete the assembly; we don't have that hardware itemized under this same number.
Before you order, check the rim profile and spoke count against your own hub and existing rim, since a WM2 profile rim needs to match the offset and spoke pattern the hub was built for. Give us a call if you're not sure it lines up with what's on the bike now.
