20" (406) front wheel for recumbent
« on: 31 May, 2011, 08:43:29 pm »
Anyone got any recommendations for a 20" wheel for my Fujin SLII?  I currently have a HED 40mm deep section on there, but might well just go with a cheap wheel for now since I'm short of money.

I got 406 rims at a good price from ICE when I was building up my grasshopper a few years ago. I don't know if they still do them but I have been pleased with the Alex rims ever since.

Somewhere in the depths of my garage (I think), I have a wheel from my HP Spirit that I replaced with a SRAM Dual Drive hub one. It originally had an 8-speed cassette on it.

Does that sound like something you could use?

That's very kind of you, but it's a front I'm after.  Doh!  Silly me, I should have specified that.  Will edit now.

I think some of the HED wheel rim is down to 0.8mm after 20,000km or so.
