i bought an excel rim and a spoke kit from Cycle Gear. I laced it myself, pretty easy if you label the holes before you start. I numbered the hub and original rim, then put tape around the new rim and transfered the numbers over. Laced right up.

I had my suspension re-done by Patrick at MU.

STOP TRYING TO CUT CORNERS. BUILD THEM RIGHT. GET SUM CYCLONE 2.15"x12" rims & A SPOKE KIT AND BUILD THEM ON THE STOCK HUBS.

like he said. I used excel rims, not sure which is better or if it matters at our level.


Jody? Cyclone vs. excel?

EXCEL is more widely known, but the Cyclones ive been using are just as good in my opinion :thumb:

I dont know alot about this stuff but a 2" x 2.15" seems kind of small and I feel that it would put alot of strain on the motor turning a 2" wheel lol


j/k I knwo you meant 12"

http://www.radmfg.com/hex%20kit.htm has rims now. I think they are still listed as Cyclone, but they are CACR or something I believe which seem better quality than the Cyclone rims. 2.15 width by 12"

We have some on our endurance mini and they are very nice quality. :)
