ConnorPowell Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Hi, My rear rim on my bike is buckled like anything but i cant just go out and buy a new rim beacuse the ones on the market are 19" but because i ride an onza t-vee it means that i cant have a 19" read rim because they are 20" on the back of a t-vee. does anyone know of a different 20" rim or how i could run a 19" on the back ? cheers connor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si-man Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Go to a bike shop and see if they can true it.If its beyond repair, then you may need to buy a cheap rear trials wheel with a 20 inch rim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aener Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 If it can't be trued, just buy the widest front rim you can find? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant H Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 my mate had the same problem, he got a 19" rim though...he had to run slack tension and brakes that went partly on the tire...but i think if you got a half link chain and a 74kingz tensioner you would be able to do it.

Muel Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 Just get a wide front rim, T-vee rear rims arn't that wide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
