brettnai:

I recently bought this wheelset from Daz BMX for a build I'm doing for my mate. I've had an old Reflex f+f sat in the loft for a while and decided to build it up for my mates xmas pressie just out of some bits n bobs i've got spare.

The only thing i've had to buy are these wheels but now they've arrived i'm not sure if they will be suitable. The rims seem to be really narrow and i'm not sure what tyre they would take or if I could fit to a freestyle build. The for sale ad didn't really say much.

They look like they'd work ;)

brettnai:
they look ok in the pic but in real life the rims look dead skinny.
all my 20" bikes have tuffs, the only bike i have with spokes is a cruiser so its hard to tell. If I hold the wheels next to a tuff with a tyre on I can't see how it'd fit

magna13:
Well, they look either like 20x 1.75 or 20x 1.50's so they will be ok.

brettnai:
so a 20x1.75 will be ok?

probably just me not being used to seeing 20" spokies
