Does anyone know where to source a 20inch front wheel (disc compatible) from?
The catch it's not for a BMX or a kids bike but for an adult two wheeled [url= https://nazca-ligfietsen.nl/en/list/models/item/24/ ]recumbent[/url] (nazca fuego).
All I can find is this from [url= https://www.taylor-wheels.com/bike-wheels/20-inch-bike-wheel/taylor-wheels-20inch-bike-front-wheel-gruenert-dynamic4-double-wall-6-disc-black ]taylor wheels[/url]
Which I have bought but unsurprisingly it's rubbish (heavy, no sealing on bearings, etc).
Online wheel builders don't seem to stock 20 inch rims or build such sized wheels.
Help me STW, you are my only hope.
First Google gives my sjs cycles, have a look and see what they have.
Tried contacting your LBS? I've built a couple of small wheels up before for unusual projects - a cart, a lightweight 16 inch wheels for a kids bike, a Brompton. Email in profile if you want a chat?
Go on eBay and search but change the default setting to Europe wide. Germany will throw up decent 20” wheels. It’s where I bought some from. I have no idea why but they do.
I might even have one in stock - give me a call at the shop tomorrow, 0141 942 2552. Otherwise no problem to get one from HPVelotechnik.
Good efforts so far but
- SJS only has a rim front wheel, not a disc one. But I can contact them to see if they could build one. They at least have 20 inch rims in stock.
- eBay, can't see for looking but there is not much coming up.
- bencooper, thanks and will try to call this week. I have tried laid-back bikes but he never replied to my emails or answers the phone.
You could try Hollandbikeshop. They list a few types of 20" rims. Looks like they don't have any 20" disc wheels, but could ask if they will build one. https://en.hollandbikeshop.com/bicycle-wheels/bicycle-front-wheel/front-wheel-20-inch/
Some Dahons came with 20" disk wheels. However the hub may be narrower than you want - worth being aware of that.
