Hi All,

I'm trying bring my Pinky back to life and both rims have corroded beyond repair from within. I've located and replaced the front with no issues but my question is around the rear and the Z spokes.

Will a standard 32 hole MX drilling rim be ok, such as fitted to Honda CRF250 circa 2009? Or does the rim need a specific drilling for the Z spokes?

Thanks, Mark - Perth, Australia

Paul @ CTC in Cambs, England is selling new Z spokes and some very nice looking 32 hole rear rims. Not cheap, but quality never is.

Thanks Thai, I love what Paul is doing at CTC but still got to get parts to Australia.... I rescued this bike from the wreckers and just want to make it rideable, so looking for a cheap way out locally, hence the rim question.
