Title: Rim size question.
Post by: einarrson on July 30, 2006, 08:45 PM

I'm looking at some Araya S7 listed as 20 X 1/34 which i think means 1 3/4 or maybe 1 1/34.  Is anyone familiar with these rims are these ok for 1.75 tyres?

I see what ones you mean, and I would have thought that it should be 1 3/4 but I`m not sure.

Perhaps someone else will know more  :crazy2:

is 1 3/4 not 1.75.    1 whole is made up of 4 quarters.  100 divide by 4 is 25, 25 x 3 is 75. hence 3/4. or am i talking sh%t!!

Yeah,  I thought they must be 1.75 it doesnt look like it   They do look a bit thin / strange I think i'll go for a more conventional size.  Cheers lads.

You could email Ginni, she's usually very quick to respond (bearing in mind the time difference between here and the US) and I've found always very helpful  :daumenhoch:
