Wire wheel needed, series 15

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

If you do not find a great wire wheel, I have a rusted wire wheel that I think would clean up OK. I can sell you this wheel if you want it.
