hello! I know this is probably bad form just asking a question directly after joining the site... but! I do indeed, have a question. Ive got a 2013 T100 and really want to fit 16x3.5’s front n back. Ive looked into Coker tires, and wider forks etc.. but the wheels are a bit tricky. Anyone know where to get 16X3.5 spoked wheels that will fit? I got a quote for 2,500 which is a fair old whack. Anyone know anywhere I can get some for...less? Cheers muchly! M
Thank you! Actually, to be absolutely honest Its mainly a style thing. I’m fitting wider forks, and Coker 500-16’s. I just really like the look of a few of the D+O bikes ive seen, with the large tyres. Cheers! M
The cheapest route is likely to be a wheel builder lacing smaller diameter rims on your current hubs. You will need to calculate the effect on gearing and speedo calibration.
Thanks! Actually, to be absolutely honest I love the look of the 16x3.5’s with ha cheers! They do look good though, right? Probably not everyone’s cup of tea, but I just love them look of ‘em
Yeah actually D+O will lace to my original hubs, the slight downside of that is i’m currently In Tennessee. But it would probably be cheaper to send my wheels in to them and have the new ones sent back again then to buy a new set. Believe it or not. Speedo calibration, good point. I never thought of that. Will look into it.
