Nope they're not... Same as the MC28 as that also has a single sided swing arm, but the NC29 and MC21 have normal boring swingarms....

I have a RC30/RC45 6x17 inch rim for sale if ya wanna stick a 190 section rear tyre on the back of ya NC30.... Rubs a bit on the swingarm tho...

I was assuming that it was the pre NC30, having an 18 inch wheel but obviously not. I also forgot about the MC28's having the pro arm, just get a real swingarm too!!!

I wonder if the Revere back wheel fits? Buckets n bits were wrecking one.
The guy I'd hunt out is Henry from Takinini wreckers.He has almost given it all up but He did have a couple of 17" rears.
The other guy I'd hunt out is Gary Pendleton--ex GP honda
Hes raced viffers for ages so theres a good chance he'll know who might have a rear rim
