betabantam Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I am about to have a front wheel built up by Central wheels . Is it best to go for WM1 or WM2 width, do they give a different profile on a Michelin tubed eg. the WM2 wider width rim gives a squarer trread profile? Thanks.

michaelmoore Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 1.60" (WM1) appears to have been the standard 21" rim width on a trials bike for the last 35+ years. However, the more recent bikes seem to mostly be going to 2.15" (WM3) rear rims instead of the WM2 (1.85") that was standard on the older bikes that I'm familiar with (KT250, etc). cheers, Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
