Title: Rims ????
Post by: snav69 on October 01, 2006, 04:24 PM

Hi again , These rims have been in my shed for ages now but have no idea what they are for or why i bought them, they seem to be bmx rims but are slightly bigger than a standard 20" rim , anybody know anything ?? More to the point , are they worth anything  ???   :LolLolLolLol:

They are 20" skinnies...  kids race wheels for 20" minis.

Are they not 20*1.3/8th's, tubeless(tubs) .If you where to put a tyre and tube on your normal 20 inch and then compare it to your araya rim the outside diameter with a skinny tyre should be pretty close.

I just found these on ginnys , Look about halfway down the page , 20" tubular .If they are the same as these i wonder why i can't get a 20" tyre on them ?? unless there is a special kind of tyre  :-\
