I have been running Dayton 72 Spoke wires on my 57
100-6 for over a decade now and have not had any
clearance issues. They are the Dayton Part# 459,
15x5". I run 185x15s on them.

**************************************************
I've been told that the 72 spokers will not work with
the drum brakes
on a
BN4. Even the 60's are a tight fit. Check the
clearance before you
buy.
