Hi,
I have an old bike with this unusual wheel size and my front wheel has a nice dent in it which I can't quite get out. When it's raining the brakes don't grip on the steel rims either so I'm looking to replace them with alloy ones. Unfortunately I can't find this size anywhere. Any spare wheels or rims would be much appreciated, or just some advice on where I could look?
Thanks.

Hi Hilary,
These look great. I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to bicycles so I need to check that these will fit my bike first, but I will say for now that I'm definitely interested in buying them. I will get back to you soon.
Thanks.

Are these wheels still available? I'm interested in them for an old tandem. Can you let me know what the spacing is on the front wheel please?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
