Title: C15 Spokes and suppliers
Post by: Dropout_Boogie on 03 Jun, 2023, 06:41
I'm looking at fitting 18" rims to the standard 6" full width hubs on my C15.
Could anyone who's done this advise on the spoke length required? And are there any recommended places to buy from?
Cheers!

I tend to go to Central Wheel Components just outside of Birmingham for all my rims and spokes and they will be able to supply what you need. I think the rear 18" will just be standard B40.

However, be aware that the centre stand may not work afterwards because you will be effectively raising the bike by 1/2" that will probably be more than it can cope with.

Thanks Spaceman. I was assuming both hubs on the B40 were 7", so that makes things more straightforward. I've already got a couple of wm2 18" rims which is handy.
