Hi all, first post, been lurking for a while.
This is specifically for an xs400, but I'm sure you guys will be able to answer this.
I want to relace my wifes front hub to a 2.15x18 rim. Stock is 1.60x18. The reason is the much better selection of tires on the wider rim, and the fact that I already have a tire, and tube that'll fit the wider rim.
Can I use any 70's-80's 36 spoke Japanese rim?
Can I simply reuse my spokes/nipples?
Anyone have a 2.15x18 chrome rim for sale?
Anything I should watch out for?
Etc?
Thanks In Advance!
