Kotadrifts · 03-12-2018, 05:52 PM

Hello i recently bought a china bike of Craigslist as a cheap project and didn’t realize what i had gotten into. The front wheel is bent which is the only thing wrong with the bike but for the life of me cant seem to find a replacement wheel or little to any parts for this bike!

Does anyone know a front wheel that can fit??

I believe you should be able to buy a 19" front rim and lace in your original hub. You may even be able to use your spokes.

X2. Plenty of Youtube vids on how to properly lace and true a motorcycle wheel. As well, Harbor Freight has an inexpensive truing stand.

The stock rim should have a number stamped into it, something like 1.4x19. Find a rim that size on eBay then take it and the old wheel to a motorcycle shop to have it replaced, or do it yourself.

While at it, choose an aluminum rim, to help prevent future bending. Buchanan's can lace it together if you wish; they can even use stainless spokes if you prefer.
