I recently aquired 2 trikes, '84 200es and '81 185s. The 200 is a long way from running, I tore it down completely for derustification. The 185 isn't so bad.

Anyway, I'm wondering, can I put the rear hubs from the 200es on the 185s so I can run the 200es rear rims and tires? I know the rims on the 185s are 3 bolt pattern so I just can't exchange rims/tires. I figured I'd pull a hub tonight and see if the 200es hub will fit the 185s axle. Thought I'd ask ya'll to save me some work if it just a pipe dream.

Thanks, Chris

Thanks Yamada, that chart will come in handy.

I'm hoping to use the Big Red hubs and wheels/tires on the 185s.

We'll see when I get home from work today. Chris

I can now confirm that hubs from an '84 Big Red do fit onto the axle of an '81 185s. This little trike now looks killer with those tall and wide Big Red tires. Thanks for the help guys, Chris
