Yesterday I replaced the spokes, there were 4 broken. Lucky I had 4 spare spokes. I ordered a dozen more from Buchanan's just in case! The wheel is now as good as new, nice and smooth.

Excel dirt bike rim laced to bicycle hub
The 21x1.6 Excel dirt bike rim is the same size as a 26" bicycle rim.
The 19x1.4 dirt bike rim is the same size as a 24" bicycle rim.
Both are built to take a pounding, high flying and hard landings.
When you lace them with 10 gauge stainless spokes to a high quality hub like a Chris King... You can use dirt bike or moped tires....
Dirt bike tires are heavy...but indistructable
Moped tires are lighter but are limited to arould 35 mph.
I had Wheelmaster build me one for an experiment
A 21x1.6 laced to a ...It has held up... I think he used 9 guage spokes, I think 10 guage should have been used... THe holes in the rim were too large for the nipples he had...so he went with the spokes that had a larger diameter nipple....Its still on my yeti dh-9... but do the tire width, is incompatable with the GEBE Tanaka 40cc....
Wish I had a Morini
Be sure that your forks can take the wider tire... My 21. 1.6 has a 3" tire... it rubs slightly on the inner rear fork.. I should have used a 2.5 tire.

I'm running Worksman wheels, they come with 10 ga. spokes, so far, so good
