Povertycove Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Does anyone have a source for wire wheels? When I got my 31 back from the Trek, I began a list of projects that had been suggested to me, one being to adjust the brakes. As I was turning the rear wheel I saw to my horror that about 12-14 inches of lip had fallen off the rim. It really is a wonder that I didn't lose the tire at some point. I'm checking, but I doubt that the rim can be satisfactorily welded. Fortunately my sidemount spares are in good shape, but I would really like to find a new wire wheel to fit my 650x19 tire.

Dwight Romberger Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 There is a set of four 19" wheels on ebay right now listed under Franklin parts for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povertycove Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Close, but not right. I think the hubs are too small for a 31, as the seven lug holes for the 31 are inside the hub, rather than outside. A good tip, though, and thanks.

I can sell you this wheel if you want it.Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
