As I have said in the title really I am looking for a standard rim for my U1000 and a tyre to match what I currently have fitted. As long as the tyre is legal I'm not really fusy but a non directional pattern would be preferable.

What if anything has anyone got or does anyone have any ideas where I could obtain one for reasonable money?

Many thanks

Paul

I don't know about reasonably priced but Atkinson Vos have normally got a selection of wheels and tyres available.

Thank you Ian.

They are probably reasonably priced but I am hunting around before committing to Atkinson Vos.

When I have time I like to shop about.  :)

No probs :) got to say though, a 405/70 would look serious on a 16 inch rim :D

i'll ask dad, we might have a spare one around, but i dont think we will, and if we do it'll probably be a drum brake rim.
Otherwise any of the dealers are good, just be sure to go for a genuine rim, and not one that looks home made, all to do with load rating's and bearing strain etc. :)
