    Hey all,

    the back tire on my 08 bob is getting down pretty well and when i replace it i want to go to a 18" x 5.5" rim and a Metzeler 200/50-18 tire.

    still just a 40 spoke job but with stainless spokes.

    I would just like to know if anyone can recommend a place in Melb or Adelaide where I could get all the above items from.

    I want to keep my standard wheel as is so will be after a new hub not relacing the new rim to my hub.

    Also, the rear axle on the 08 Dyna is 1" isn't it? I've heard some say 1" others say 25mm.

    Daggs, i'm sure there would be places in Melb & SA, but if you have trouble i can find out contact number for a guy in Syd he makes his own spokes, builds spoke wheels for anything, but i'm sure he would have a set or would make them.

    07's  wheel beaings are 1" inch (25.4mm)

    08's and later are 25mm

     

    I got caught with this when I swapped my wheels

    200 does fit, plenty of the US guys have done it but it is a snug fit, have to tidy up the wiring under thr rear guard...

    looks like the axle dia is 25mm, thanx 4 that guys....

    Krash, thanx I'll keep you in mind if I hit brick walls....
