Bashan storm 250 front wheel replacment??
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.

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.
