[Bazlerker]

​

I have a Rapide with touring fenders and 19”/18” rims..I wish to replace the alloy front rim with a stainless one.
Which rim & spokes should I choose from the Spares company?

 

[Vincent Brake]

Only the best!!!

But said in spain......
Would you belive him??

 

[Peter Holmes]

The Devon Rim Company, no doubt!

 

[Bazlerker]

Perhaps I should have been more clear…WM1…or WM2.?

I think WW2 was on touring front and WW3 on rear. Is that what you have ? Im just building wheels for rapide project now and that’s what I’m using with K81s

With black centers and red pinstripes of course?

With black centers and red pinstripes of course?

Not always as some series B & C's left the factory with all chrome rims and were not painted in the center or pinstriped and this is mentioned in the factory records for certain machines.

Plus series A's didn't have the wheel rim centers painted, its a 1946 onwards thing.

Simon, you keep us on our toes!

I can’t even get a new rim laced up by anyone where I live…getting the rim painted means getting the whole job done in the U.K, then ship the assembly to me..

Not that hard to lace them up yourself.
