Looking for wheels?

[Lowlife Familia]

I am looking for a set of 26" black 68 spoke wheels like the ones in my pic below (black rim and spokes) also curious to find out where to get 4" wide rims from?

Thank you,
Bob.

Thanks for the info. Looks like anything that I would want in any of the categories is out of stock, no bueno.

I don't know of anybody that makes 68 spoke rims, I've seen 72's and 48's. Nobody makes a 4" rim drilled for anything other than 32 or 36 spokes, you'd have to see if you could buy a blank and drill it yourself, or use a 36H and double-drill it with a 72 spoke hub.

Bummer,Bob. And this wouldn't help either? http://www.sm-parts.net/components/com_ ... 20x120.jpg
It's in Germany, so not much of an option,is it?

I thought it was odd also, but I counted my spokes twice and that's what they are 68's, I was just looking for 4" in general no particular spoke count I was thinking of getting some in the future just didn't know of a source.

Wimpy,

No worries. Thank you for the earlier info I will keep trying their site for a restock because Germany is a little far out of the loop.

Dragnusa,

Thanks for the link that is what I am looking for. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little hesitant about ordering from them as I read some of their feedback but I can't seem to find them anywhere else. Decisions, decisions...

Seems like the 68 spoke wheels are the ones that came on some of the Next bikes.

I can understand that but Ive ordered stuff from companies with good feed back and had problems too. so really its always a risk. I did find these on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/26-x-1-75-68-sp ... 35b3b651c3
