April 8, 20179 yr Hi Guys I have recently purchased on ebay ( 1.85 x 21 Inch ) Front RIM with 40 holes. it looks bit more wider then i expected. looks more like rear wheel should i use it or it will look awkward/unusual . ? what do you suggest ? i want to use it for RE Bullet or DOT trials bike Thanks & Regards
April 8, 20179 yr tiz wide....I think the fronts are normaly 1.60 wide. maybe that's off the front of a sidecar motocrosser?
April 9, 20179 yr Is it a steel one ? Looks like one. Alloy ones are all 1.60 rears are usually WM2 1.85 wide but some fit WM3 which is wider. Personally i wouldnt use it on the front as it just wont handle right.
April 11, 20179 yr Chuck a tire on it, and see what it does to the tread. It may close up the knobs and that would be bad for grip, I would think. If no difference it may be ok but will add weight to the front Vs a 1.60 rim.
