    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Maximum practical rim width on 1000C hubs

Just acquired a set of spoked 1000C wheels cheaply with a view to putting 17' rims on them for a future project

Ideally I'd like to mount a 160 rear and 120 front so I'd guess 4.5' rear and 3" front rim size

Appreciate any comments on issues relating to the stock 1000C hub - obviously the 3" front will not fit into the stock front end, however, I'm planning on using a wider triple set with 1100E forks and a stepped top triple to offset loss in ride height
 
If you want a 120x70x17 on front you'll need a 3.5 for optimum fit.
A 160x60x17 would use a 4.5
I have a 2.75X18 and a 3.5x18 set of Sun rims on my hubs.
If you are planning on using 4 piston front calipers, you will need to space the rotors out, to keep the calipers out of the spokes.
