Do not buy rims for your CB77 or CB72 from this eBay seller.

There is a seller on eBay named biskenso2007. He sold me an 18 by 1.60 Union Cycle rim that he said was manufactured for the CB77. It is not. It is drilled to fit the hub of a CB160. They look very much alike, but unless you are pretty familiar with CB77's you won't notice the misalignment of the nipples to the hub until you begin final torquing. Fortunately I have a CB160 I can use this rim on down the line someday.

I have bought parts from biskenso2007 in the past and was happy with his parts. He has a lot of 305 parts and is a good source of parts for us. He sells from Thailand, so most parts are less than top shelf, but are priced as such. I don't think biskenso2007 is dishonest, more likely he is mistaken. He has over 5,000 auctions listed so can't be knowledgeable on all things.

Yes I checked his feedback before purchasing the rim. But, in this case he sold me a CB160 rim under the pretense of it being a CB77 rim.

I bought a pair of Union Cycle rims from David Silver for my 400F, just be aware that these rims appear to be bought as blank rims then drilled to suit the hub diameter/spoke angle, this appeared to be done after plating so steel is exposed and will start to rust after time, also most holes were a smaller diameter than the spoke nipples, I returned them to him and bought from elsewhere.
