  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.
  Patricia

  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.

  I was thinking I haven't read a good book in a while. After reading this thread I have so many I want to read, I don't even know where to start. Thanks for the inspiration.

  A rabbit was hopping through the forest when he came upon a giraffe rolling a spliff. The rabbit said, "Giraffe, don't do drugs. Come run with me through the forest." The giraffe looked at the rabbit, then at the spliff. He dropped the spliff and ran off with the rabbit. They came upon an elephant snorting coke. The rabbit said, "Elephant, don't do drugs. Come run with us through the forest." The elephant looked at his razor blade and mirror, tossed them away and began running with the rabbit and giraffe. The three animals then came across a lion about to shoot up. The rabbit said "Lion, don't do drugs. Come, run with us through the forest." The lion looked at the rabbit and then at the needle. He put down the needle and started to beat the crap out of the rabbit. Horrified, the giraffe and elephant asked, "Lion, why are you doing this? He was only trying to help." The lion replied, "This little f*cker? He makes me run around the forest like a f*ckin idiot every time he's on ecstasy..."

  Hi,
  I'm new to this forum, so can't start my own posts but I am after the same size of wheel for my old bike. Does anyone know if it's possible to get wheels in this size that aren't steel, since they don't seem to grip in the rain?
  Thanks.
