16" bicycle wheels wanted
« on: 06, August, 2009 - 20:09:13 »
I am looking for some 16" bicycle wheels, fronts preferred but could use rears if necessary. They are going to be used on an electric vehicle project (not a c5!) so have to be the stronger 28 spoke variety .
Good condition used ones would be okay

Strangely enough I've found two suppliers who can sell me new 20 spoke versions , but no-one seems to be able to supply the 28 spoke ones . Bit frustrating really !

Anyone know of some useful suppliers out there ?

I have an old 20 spoke one that you are welcome to should you not find a 28 spoke job.

Thanks for the offer mate, but it really needs to be a 28-spoke job , the 20 spokers aren't strong enough.

I've now found some suitable wheels, they are for the gent that worked on my "Project C5"....

Dropped them off to him today, his mock-up and drawings for a "next generation" c5 are awesome  8)


Once it's closer to completion I'll see if he'll let me put some piccies up here.
