Front wheel ordered because I got impatient and I’m assuming I wouldn’t be able to get what I want in a BMX shop here. Ended up going with an 36h Alex DA22 rim laced to a sealed hub.
It’ll match the profile of the rear wheel and both are black rims with silver spokes.
Also ordered a Maxxis DTH 20 x 2.2” front tyre and some tubes and rim tape. I’ve heard good things about the DTH tyres. Still need to find a good price / free shipping on the matching rear tyre.
Spoke to my friend at his bike shop and he’s super keen to install the fork. There’s only one other Clydesdale fork in Adelaide that I know of, so it’s a bit of a novelty. Hopefully it’ll arrive next week and I can get it built up the weekend after that. Plan is to strip it down next week while I’m WFH, paint it with my son, then it has a few days to dry before being built up.
