Re: ADVICE ON HEAVY DUTY REAR WHEEL FOR 220LB.

#125766

Thanks for the info Gar…
I will contact Southern Wheel and see what i can do about ordering up a wheelset.
i used the wheel design tool at Universal Cycle; I designed a wheel with Sun Ringle aluminum 32 spoke wide body rims with Wheelsmith heavy gauge spokes, brass nipples, and CK heavy duty 12mm hub, this will set me back about 500 duckets for the rear wheel! So I guess I better drop down to that magic weight of 199 and see if I cant stop bending up rims!
Let you know what I come up with…
Flat rim James.
ps. love that ratcheting rear hub noise… does anyone else make a noisy hub that is not of pawl design?
