    Wheels

    I am looking the best, most cost efficient option to have a nice set of wheels for my build. Right now I have a 19" front spoke (disk) and 18" spoke rear (drum).

    What width rim strip?

    What width rim strip fits on a stock 2.75 by 16 inch rim. It looks like an 1" would do it but the ones i've seen on ebay are 1.5 inches.

    Replacing a broken spoke

    I've been riding today, came back home and noticed that one of my spokes in my rear wheel was broken. :mad: It's broken at the side of the drum brake. My question is, do I have to remove the tyre when I want to put a new one in.

    21 inch front tire question

    I laced a 21 by 1.60 dirtbike rim to my hub and was wondering if a 3.00 by 21 Avon Speedmaster will fit that narrow rim with no problems. I was looking into the 2.75 Old stock Avon's but the last one on ebay went for over $400 dollars.
