Replacement wheel

jpasterjak · 07-30-2007, 11:02 AM

Hey gang...

The 19" steel front wheel on my Roketa (Xiongtai, Zongshen, whatever) DB-36 is starting to get pretty dinged from use. Lots of exposed roots where I ride. I'd like to upgrade to something a little nicer and more durable than steel. Anyone have any recommendations? I believe it's a 19 x 2.15 (at least, the measurement of the outside edges of the rim is 2.15â€”is this where you measure on a bike wheel?) with 36 spokes. Chapparral lists this size as a rear size for a Kawi KX125 here:

Anyone replaced their rims with something better? Is this indeed a 19 x 2.15, or am I measuring wrong? Thoughts? Ideas?

Thanks
