Prototype Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hi Guys I have recently purchased on ebay ( 1.85 x 21 Inch ) Front RIM with 40 holes. it looks bit more wider then i expected. looks more like rear wheel should i use it or it will look awkward/unusual . ? what do you suggest ? i want to use it for RE Bullet or DOT trials bike Thanks & Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bashplate Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 tiz wide....I think the fronts are normaly 1.60 wide. maybe that's off the front of a sidecar motocrosser? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old trials fanatic Posted April 9, 2017 Report Share Posted April 9, 2017 Is it a steel one ? Looks like one. Alloy ones are all 1.60 rears are usually WM2 1.85 wide but some fit WM3 which is wider. Personally i wouldnt use it on the front as it just wont handle right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still trying Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Chuck a tire on it, and see what it does to the tread. It may close up the knobs and that would be bad for grip, I would think. If no difference it may be ok but will add weight to the front Vs a 1.60 rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
