Does anyone know what 17" rear wheel is compatable with my bike ?

I have given up on trying to find a wet racing tyre in 18" - they are rarer than rocking horse shit.

I don't have the width of my rim but can get that if needed.

I would like the brake disc included if possible (and compatable) also.

Cheers

I have an old one... and a rim to suit it. KR1SP.

But it's for my bucket... :)

Deano,most 17 inch rims can be adapted to fit,it a matter of getting some spacers machined up & making sure a 160 wet will fit in the swing arm

B'stard - The 150 tyre nearly hits the chain at the moment - I think a 160 would be too 'phat'.

Poos - can the rim take a 150 without adverse effect ? MC21's usually have 160 don't they ?
