Best rims for beach crusiser
- Thread starter Hotrodgranny
- Start date
This is what i use and where i got them...They come with the front and rear disk brake calipers, brake pads, and rotors...You will need to use adaptors to attach calipers to frame etc. but that can be worked out when your ready to do the job and hopefully have someone with you who knows how to help fabricate things unique to your bike and setup.
you will need to to get the cables for the brakes at a local bicycle shop...its a good thing that your replacing the typical beach cruiser rims as they will not hold up on a motorised bicycle...they are designed for the usual pedal speed of 11 miles per hour...your going 3 times that speed on a motorised bike...Also the rear coaster brakes make it a death trap as there is no real stopping power...DAMIEN
There are different colours to choose from...Click on the pic of the red ones as they also have blue in them to match your bike as well as your red motor.

Always bad information in wheel threads.
Don't need 2" wide rims
Don't need 10, 11 or 12g spokes
Please don't use quick release.
If they don't give a brand of spoke 12g is a safe bet. Look for steel Or double wall aluminum. 36 spoke is common and if you are using a rag joint or hub adapter for the sprocket you have to stay 36.
This wheel set has gone 64mph. Out lasted 3 frames over 3 years and was on 4 builds. I ride daily.
14g DT Swiss spokes
Sapiam nipples
Mtx 39 hoops
Cheap Amazon hubs.

Nice bike and set up mate. I have to ask where did you get your gas tank from or did you fab it up yourself? Also what size motor is it 80cc 60cc or 49cc? By the way my name is Aaron. Hope to hear back from you I'll love to talk to you more about your bike and motorized 80cc bikes in general. I as well am a daily rider for 2 years now an I'm getting tired of always having something break down on me. My new bike and motor just seems like a money pit and I've only had it for 4 months now.Always bad information in wheel threads.
