Just a warning... cymbals are really heavy; enough so to turn your Wheel into a Flywheel.

They are somewhat brittle, which is why they're prone to cracking.

Around the hole in the center is a common place place for cracks
or chipping to occur, so inspect that area carefully if buying used cymbals.

You would definitely want a tight fitting bushing in the hole.

Not a drummer, but I've been in bands for most of my life; seen plenty of broken cymbals :roll:

here's what I found... The typical 26-inch rim has a diameter of 559 mm (22.0") and an outside tire diameter of about 26.2" (665 mm)
